You can tell from how quiet the brass is what they think of this. |
Started with platitudes, but what he is saying now is excellent. He is changing the culture. Much of this is common sense and appropriate for the military. Key point: standards. |

Uh, now he is going off on woke again and here it comes.
more leadership cahnges to expunge the believers of "woke" "the right people"
|
| Asking people to resign. |
| Basically if you don’t like what I’m saying please quit |
| Why would they change the physical fitness standards when most wars will be fought from a keyboard from now on? |

"An entire generation of generals and admirals were told that they must the parrot the insane fallacy that 'our diversity is our strength' ... they were told females and males are the same thing."
For too long we've promoted too many uniformed leaders for the wrong reasons -- based on their race, gender quotas, historic so-called 'firsts'...we've weeded out so-called 'toxic leaders' under guise of double blind psychology assessments. We became the 'woke department.' But not anymore" |
A erratic, manic dry drunk/former Fox News host is lecturing everyone else about standards? |

Hegseths speech is what you would expect to a freshman class at the academy. Not the military’s most senior leaders

"It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

I can’t believe people I know were summoned here from overseas for this.
Speechless. |
He summoned senior military officers to restore a “warriors ethos.” His new defense strategy is homeland security over global threats. DEI is poison. Team barking is mandatory. Quantico will rumble so loud it will be heard around the world. Yeh, soldiers died. He said he watched them die. From that day forward, he set out to avenge their deaths by writing a book. Thing is, he was sitting in an office when his “friends” died. He lied. He didn’t “watch” them die. In fact, there is no record of casualties within his own platoon. Two bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge. Weak sauce badges. I guess he beats Bowman-Hamel-Vance who sat in an office too. He didn’t get any stars or badges. |
| The whole thing is ironic given troops on the ground (other than in US cities) for combat is becoming less frequent due to drones and robots. |
