2:48Now PlayingDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth presented upgraded valor awards Wednesday to Marines for their actions during the 2021 Abbey Gate attack amid the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
"For too long leadership in this capital city failed to match that frontline courage with administrative backbone, inappropriately downgrading the original award submissions that these men rightfully deserved," he said at a Pentagon ceremony.
"You see, a military that downplays its frontline heroes to avoid uncomfortable political truths only projects weakness. The world watches how we treat our heroes."
