ARCHETYPE

The Disruptor

Contrarian and drawn to the edge; challenges the settled answer.

Pete Hegseth fits the Disruptor archetype with unusual clarity. Arriving at the Pentagon from Fox News commentary and Army National Guard service rather than a conventional defense management track, he has approached the department as an institution to be shaken rather than stewarded.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY DISRUPTOR

“I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they're not real.”

“So this is the biggest deployment of my life, and there won't be a drop of alcohol on my lips while I'm doing it.”
undated

“This book is dedicated to the real 1 percent: the warriors- past, present and future- who answered freedom's call.”
