Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is rapidly transforming the Pentagon according to his Fox News-era beliefs.
He has dismissed top female and minority officers, eliminated diversity programs, shut down civilian harm mitigation offices, and canceled climate change research.
Critics, including former Pentagon officials, warn these actions “do nothing to prepare forces” for future conflicts while harming recruitment during a shortage.
Hegseth has also weakened international military partnerships by confirming Ukraine will never join NATO and freezing weapons packages, while redirecting focus to Mexico’s border. Former Brigadier General Paul Eaton calls Hegseth a “Saturday showman” unfit for office.
So you just have to sit there and take it?
Also for those that can see this he’s force retiring 17,000 trans soldiers.
As if recruitment wasn’t bad enough.
Spineless, leadership should stand up to him.

And who benefits from weakening the US military?

Canada.Trump and Musk are already demolishing Washington DC, you Canadians should come down and finish the job, 1814-style.
And remember, their entire reasoning for putting him there was that the military was too “woke” and that that was harming its readiness.
