Four days later, the press still isn't letting the "our boys" comment slide. As Twitchy reported, Hegseth held a press conference Thursday morning to clear up any confusion about the success of the mission, and his comment was brought up.

Is the press truly concerned about the "our boys" comment because the female B-2 pilot's emotions are so fragile that she's probably still crying in the bathroom about being called one of the boys?
