This is evidenced by his numerous anti-European remarks,\u201d the group said, recounting Hegseth\u2019s earlier statements about \u201cthe parasitism of Europeans\u201d and \u201chis American supremacist remarks such as \u2018the War Department.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe honor of Langrune, that of France, and the memory of the young allies, American, British, Canadian\u2026 who died on our beaches in the name of democracy would dictate canceling the visit of this individual,\u201d the group concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Chantal Richard, a member of the group, Langrune en Commun, also told BFM that they \u201ccan\u2019t pretend it\u2019s business as usual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s happening with the Trump administration isn\u2019t business as usual. The fact that Pete Hegseth is challenging all the international organizations that emerged from the Second World War isn\u2019t business as usual,\u201d she said. \u201cThe words must be spoken, he must be called out for who he is, for the values \u200b\u200bhe represents: colonial, warmongering, racist, far-right values. Silence seems to us to be the worst thing we can do on these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=855\">ISS Astronauts Prepare to Evacuate After Air Leak<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Hegseth landed in Paris on Friday with his wife and six of their kids in tow, swiftly drawing backlash for what some characterized as a \u201cfamily vacation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A former official of the Army\u2019s Criminal Investigative Division told The Washington Post that extra agents were called into duty to ensure the protection of Hegseth\u2019s family. Some expressed concerns about \u201cthe resource strain\u201d of providing extra security for the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a taxpayer, I\u2019m concerned about it,\u201d an Army official told the outlet. \u201cBut as a professional who always has to claw for money to do just basic missions, I just look at that cost and think, how much more of X, Y, and Z could we have bought if not for that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell maintained that Hegseth brought his family along \u201cat his own expense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery parent should teach their kids what real sacrifice &amp; courage look like,\u201d he wrote on X in response to the Post\u2019s report. \u201cThat\u2019s how we keep freedom alive. Proud to serve alongside a Secretary of War who leads by example, on &amp; off the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth appeared unfazed by the backlash surrounding his trip, using his D-Day anniversary speech to take veiled shots at European allies who have refused to take part in the Trump administration\u2019s war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe men buried here thought in a war-fighting alliance where every partner brought its full measure of industry, courage, and sacrifice,\u201d he said. \u201cNot empty slogans, not lavish summits, not communiqu\u00e9s. Real allies doing real things, taking real losses for a shared cause worth fighting and dying for. Each nation pulled its way.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cSadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.
