"We just got the pleasure and the privilege of getting a tour of the Pentagon, and uh, what a cool experience," Logan Paul said in a short video shared to social media by the Department of Defense on Sunday.

"To see all the men and women here who are serving this great nation, I don't think there is any greater commitment to sacrifice than those who are willing to live, die, and fight for their country," he said.

Throughout the video, both Paul brothers are shown getting a lengthy tour of the building, at one point even laughing and joking with Hegseth, whose management of the war with Iran has left at least 22 service members dead since February.

They are seen at one point looking at a mock-up of a memorial set to be built for the victims of American Airlines Flight 77, which was flown into the Pentagon during the historic terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

"Each one of you matter," Jake Paul told a room filled with mostly-seated military service members. "Take this moment and be proud of yourselves for what you do. This is the greatest country in the world, truly."

"It's you guys who etch your names in history as you fight for and allow us in this country to have that freedom where we can prosper and be happy and be the great nation that we are," Logan told the same crowd.
