‘No Weirdos, No Radicals’: Hegseth Doubles Down On ‘Woke’ Pentagon Purge | Video

Announcement

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing intense bipartisan backlash after announcing plans to cut the number of U.S. military generals and admirals by 20% by 2027. While critics and lawmakers, including Senator Jack Reed, have called the ongoing dismissals a dangerous “purge” that could disrupt command structures amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, Hegseth defended the move as long-overdue accountability for a bloated system. During a recent speech at Marine Base Quantico, Hegseth also doubled down on his controversial mission to eradicate “woke culture” from the Pentagon. Emphasizing strict physical appearance and readiness standards, he used highly controversial slurs, stating the military will have “no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just war.” Additionally, Hegseth announced the creation of a new autonomous warfare command led by a four-star general, focusing heavily on AI and robotics to secure future military dominance.
