US EditionJoe Rogan backs Hegseth’s war on ‘woke garbage,’ ‘fat generals’
Secretary Hegseth ordered twice-yearly fitness tests and male combat benchmarks to replace diversity programs, aiming to refocus the military on lethality and combat readiness.
- On Tuesday, Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, addressed about 800 admirals and generals at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, with President Donald Trump present, unveiling 10 Department of War directives.
- Amid the administration's effort to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs, Pete Hegseth argued they promoted quotas over competence, framing personnel changes as key to restoring lethality.
- The plan mandates all service members meet male combat standards, pass twice-yearly fitness tests, perform daily physical training, and undergo body-fat measurements and height/weight checks.
- Across the aisle, critics warned that Sen. Jack Reed said, `While American forces confront real threats across the globe, Mr. Hegseth and President Trump chose to pull generals and admirals away from their missions to listen to hours of political grievances.`
- Longer-Term, the changes could affect recruitment and retention, reshape unit composition, alter grooming and training frequency, and invite civil liberties and international law scrutiny.
