Far-left propagandist Christiane Amanpour, who cosplays as a journalist, is now apparently attempting to cosplay as a member of the military. And not just any member, but a Major.

In an effort to insult Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (a former Army major), Amanpour wrote on X, “Using the Pentagon podium to lash out at journalists in extreme biblical terms is unprecedented, misguided, and frankly wrong on the substance. Ever since Sunday School Catholic classes, I have been well aware of the Scribes and the Pharisees. They were the bad guys against Jesus, the good guy… in current U.S. good v evil war parlance. Bearing witness to the truth is what we journalists are commanded to do, without fear nor favor.”

“I am also well aware of the Ten Commandments, and therefore urge any government radical anywhere, to follow the 9th… against bearing false witness.”

“And finally an observation: the current Secretary of War, f/k/a Defence, left the military with the rank of Major.”

“I recall my dogtag in the first Gulf war had the rank of major… the very same rank. Just sayin’!”

Stating the obvious, Amanpour never served in the U.S. military, or any military, in any capacity. She is a “journalist” who covered the 1991 Gulf War as a CNN correspondent.

During the Gulf War, journalists embedded with or reporting alongside U.S. forces were sometimes issued press credentials or identification tags (sometimes called “dog tags” informally) that listed an administrative or honorary rank like “major.”

This was for logistical purposes—such as access, billeting, or movement in a war zone—not an actual military commission or rank, although she insultingly attempts to equate a press credential with real military service and rank achieved by someone like Secretary Hegseth, who served in combat deployments.
