US service members were joined by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during Saturday morning’s physical training on Coronado Beach near the Coronado Shores and the Hotel del Coronado.

Following the morning activity, Secretary of War Hegseth joined Vice President J.D. Vance for the 250th US Marine Corps anniversary celebration at Camp Pendleton, where each spoke to the troops.

Navy Veteran with 25 years’ service – I expect far more professionalism, character, integrity and respect for our military than this obviously political appointee could ever offer, or even comprehend. He was just part of the TV “reality show” coming out of D.C. at this moment.
One more thing. My father fought in WW2 against the Nazis. When he returned from war, he was never the same person. But he was so proud to have helped save his country and defeat Hitler and the Nazis…Love of his country. A true hero. It’s painful to see what is happening now with the liberals who don’t know what they’re talking about.
So sad to hear these nasty, uncalled for, negative comments from the liberal left. They’ve never had it so good and how lucky they are to live in America and say what they want.
I am a friend of a Navy Seal…. they were proud and excited to have Hegseth here. Please don’t spread untruths.
We are truly blessed to have Trump as our President. He has saved us, and helped other countrys to find peace. God bless Donald Trump.
Janet speak for your self this administration pete jd and Trump are triators to America and out trops this was a photo op nothing more. I have Military friends and family and they all feel the same. Or can you still sy bless trump after he gave 40 million to Venezuela recieves bribes and allow Qatar foreign government to build a military base in our soil. Not to mention being Israels hit men and support genocide. Wake up.. please for this country and your own family
These are leftist talking points and they watch too much of low ratings CNN and MSNBC. Patriot? Lol
What a disgrace to Coronado and San Diego!
These people are destroying the constitution and are definitely not good Christians!
Christian’s? Judge not lest ye be judged!
When you point your finger at others you have 3 pointing back at you!
Just making them weaker by helping out idiot
They pee on constitution!!!!
F the Trump Diicktater
Hate? You are definitely a hater!
Wow these hateful comments are so sad. Why can’t we just support military hard working people why does everything have to come to the hate. We love our military here in Coronado. Yay America
I love the military, it’s Hegseth and Vance most of America hates.
You don’t speak for America…the votes do and the people voted for Trump and his appointees who are doing an excellent job. Watching our Vice President and our SecDef made me proud!!!
Oh stop.✋🏼
HEGSETH = 🤡
Wasted tax payer $$$ – Paying for the drunkard, woman abusing, loud mouth to play Navy Seal.
So sad to see these kids indoctrinated into US imperialism
Hegseth is a soup sandwich 😂😂
What the hell is that ? Liberal buzz words again.
No, you milk toast softy. It’s not a liberal buzzword.
It’s actually military slang, but you wouldn’t know that would you marshmallow boy.
What IS obvious is you enjoy the freedoms our military puts their lives on the Line every day to protect, while you aspire to throw stones from your glass house for them doing so. Get a hobby, maybe?
Why are you anonymous? Stand behind your words. He had the stones to come out and meet with his front line warriors and let them know one on one he stands with them. The first SECWAR to ever do this.
Yeah, so later when Trump orders the military to invade cities and shoot protesters (that’s coming) they’ll all gladly do it. They probably had orders to “look happy” but 800 generals and admirals looked like they hated both Hegseth and Trump.
Illegal aliens on navy bases as contractors.
Its a photo opp lady thats all he cant even do a pull up. And hes not qualified to do the job of DEFENSE.
Hegseth is a soup sandwich 😂
Look at the white liberal “not in my back yard” comments here, so vile! A bunch of scumbag hippy drugged out losers as usual. ha ha!
You are so proud of the alcoholic, Pedo. Sex trafficing wife beater. I guess he’s OK cause he’s GOP. Right? Guardians of Pedophiles!! 🆗🤦
Change that tattoo from “We The People” to “We The Pedo Protectors” … The whole administration is being run by the biggest Chomo, wannabe Dictator, Crook. NOT MY PRESIDENT (PREDATOR).
Exactly!
Look at the white liberal “not in my back yard” comments here, so vile! A bunch of scumbag hippy drugged out losers as usual. ha ha!
To begin with, I do not drink, smoke, or take drugs. I’m not a liberal. Your reply makes me think you’re incredibly old, ignorant, and probably incapable of thinking more deeply than a four-year-old. I’ll refer to you as Mr. Benjamin Buttons because I don’t know your real name. I’m constantly wondering if MAGA supporters are genuinely this delusional. Sadly, people like you have answered for me. Mr. Buttons, I’m sorry. I wish I could help you, but as far as I know, we don’t currently have anything for the people with extremely low I.Q.
I’m sure a film crew would gain enough footage from following just the two of you to satisfy the most ardent soap opera aficionados.
I dont care who you support but I hate that you have to resort to prejudice and personal attacks thats the disgraceful thing here youre an embarrassment to the idea of america being a place for everyone when you try to do stuff like that it be littles that shame on you and I hope you can learn to gauhe your opinions based on facts rather than personal attacks
Pete is the biggest kook, I bet the SEALS were embarrassed to have him on that beach. Get out of San Diego Hegworthless. Real tough, I did a chin up in Cornado! Go walk through Logan across the bridge, better yet GO HOME SECRETARY OF FOX NEWS.
SHAME ON YOU! Always remember your great grandparents fought for this country…some sacrificed their lives so YOU, your parents, family and friends can enjoy the life and privileges you have today. IF you’re not happy with how the country is being run than do something POSITIVE to change it. Negative talk is cheap and non productive…..don’t be a loser…..prove that your great grandparents made the right choices but most importantly don’t bring SHAME to yourself, your family but most of all to your COUNTRY with your negativity. America is great because our founding fathers made changes…positive changes. Be a proud American !
Our grandparents fought Nazis. Young Republicans explicitly seem to have no problems with Nazis. I love my country, but criticizing leaders who do not represent American values, or my grandparents values, is perfectly legitimate.
No did YOUR grandparents fight against Nazi, probably not. Speak for your facts not EVERYONE else.
U HAVE A RIGHT TO UR OPINION.
Hallelujah 🖐🏼
No Wilson! Ryan had it right!
Sir, Well said regardless of your political views. If you do not like the political climate then work to change it. I think we are all getting lost in all the verbal sparring instead of remembering what is best for the people of this GREAT country.
AGREED. This entire administration is pathetic and worthless and need to be removed immediately. They are Nothing but crooks and liars stealing the paychecks from OUR MILITARY WHO FIGHTS FOR OUR COUNTRY and KEEPS OUR COUNTRY SAFE. Something they know nothing about.
A PROUD AMERICAN
Where your voices when Biden was sleeping
I guess you haven’t seen Drowsy Don. He sleeps everywhere. 😂🤦
You talk like a round Foreigner or at least married to one. Who’s. Cleaning up the border? Where in any nation are the borders left unprotected? Hmm Biden 20-24. I love my country 🤩
What???
Kook spelled pretty close sokol 😂
Let go and trust the process it’s has not even been a year but at least I wasn’t forced to take vaccine against my will.
Wow! You didn’t get the shot, and it looks like you never learned how to spell either. Thanks for making my point about MAGA.
Nice. The military loves Hegseth. The last Sec Def was so out of shape he never worked out. The local Special Operations appreciate Pete.
Being in shape is one thing… RUNNING this country is another and he is terrible at both!!!
Chain of Command he is not running the country he is in charge the Department of War. Facts
Amen
while you’re there, can you address the pollution from Tijuana? That’s been going on years and years affecting the Seal training, the beaches and the Hotel Dell Coronado..
Class, let’s not forget that Loyd Austin’s approval to serve as Sec Def, required a waiver! Thank GOD for Pete and JD!
👍🏼
Dude can’t even do A PuliUp…. get off the training site and into a gym.
MAGAt fascists.
FACT!!!
Hmm define fascist, Webster please!
ideology characterized by a dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
Keep these MAGA criminals out of San Diego County.
AGREE… NOBODY WANTS THEM HERE.
No you get out! San Diego Red
Please do get me out of here I cant wait
Worthless piece of flotsam. Disgrace to our great military
If you ever had any military affiliations I’ll be surprised! It’s always the cowards saying our military
That guy is literally uncle Sam look at the name.
…but can we actually see videos. Still photos can only say soo much. Pose, cick. Pose, click. Pose, click. Just sayin’…..
Pelosi has a video tearing up a paper crown 😂
