Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Blasts Pentagon’s ‘Woke’ Focus
The Defense Secretary also established an Office of Religious Affairs and announced new military technology initiatives alongside controversial fitness and grooming standard changes.
- On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a 'State of the Force' speech at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, announcing directives reshaping the U.S. military with leadership cuts and a new 'warrior' ethos.
- Declaring the military 'no longer the woke department,' Hegseth confirmed a 20% cut to senior military leadership effective January 1, while listing excluded groups in his vision for the force.
- About 600 attendees received a 144-page field manual outlining his philosophy, while Hegseth announced the Office of Religious Affairs and Project Meridian, a technology study co-led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich.
- The Wall Street Journal editorial board mocked Hegseth's focus on 'warriors' over 'beardos' and 'weirdos,' while Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, warned the plan elevates Christianity 'to an even higher role in shaping U.S. military policy.'
- Analysts warn Hegseth's 'shoot-first firings' of general officers risk undermining military meritocracy, with public confidence declining as the project descends into debates about testosterone levels and leadership cuts.
