"There is a reason why the other armies of the world say we are the best on the globe. They are well trained, well-disciplined, and they swear an oath to the constitution. And I just really find it offensive that anyone is insulting them and claiming that it's their promotions and their advancements through the services are a result of policies or wokeness or DEI, because that's just not true."
"Hegseth outlined his plan for the U.S. military moving forward, where combat troops would return to meeting the highest male standard only; Hegseth also said he was implementing a new physical fitness plan for troops and generals, saying it was tiring to see fat generals walking around. It's a bad look, Hegseth said about rotund generals. It is bad, and it's not who we are."
Mark Hertling forcefully rejected assertions that wokeness or DEI influenced promotions within the U.S. military, calling such claims offensive and insulting to soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. Hertling described the four armed services as well trained, disciplined, and bound by an oath to the Constitution, and said other armies recognize U.S. forces as the best. Pete Hegseth presented a plan at Quantico proposing a return to the highest male standard for combat troops and a new physical fitness regimen, criticizing overweight generals. President Trump also addressed the assembled leaders, prompting surprise and disapproval from Hertling.
