By
asserted
who → respond → conference
Protesters repeatedly interrupted War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s headline appearance at the Army’s biggest annual conference on Wednesday, calling him a “war criminal” and a “coward” in protest of the Iran war.

Protesters → interrupt → war
At least five times in the first half hour of a panel, foul-mouthed anti-war protesters shouted at Hegseth, calling him a “f–king Nazi” among other insults.
asserted

Hegseth responded with chuckles and sarcastic comments, at first — but his reactions became increasingly short and irritated as he slammed the “semi-coordinated” attack as one-by-one protesters emerged among the crowd in Washington, DC.

asserted
she → remove → protest
“The First Amendment right to protest is fundamental.
asserted
right → protest → ?
However, everyone who registers to attend the Annual Meeting and enters the convention center does so after agreeing to abide by a code of conduct, so the protestors’ outbursts were certainly not appropriate during today’s forum,” the Association of the US Army said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
asserted
Association → register → Digital
“The acting Army Secretary organized, and we were honored to host, a historic forum to discuss a critical issue that directly affects national security.

uncertain

The panel with Hegseth included acting Army Secretary Adam Telle, acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink and assistant Secretary for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict Derrick Anderson.
asserted
panel → include → Operations
As the disruptions continued, the speakers stopped pausing amid the din of shouting and tried to talk over the protesters.
It’s unclear how the protesters received credentials to attend the event known as AUSA, which brings together Army brass and the defense contractors that service them.
Hegseth joined senior leadership from the service branches to discuss how the military plans to integrate drones, robotics and other autonomous technologies.
uncertain
military → continue → drones
