Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has expressed concerns that diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have weakened the U.S. military. In a notable directive, he emphasized this priority with a handwritten note stating that compliance is mandatory, asserting that those who do not adhere will be removed. Sworn in as the 29th defense secretary with a narrow Senate confirmation, Hegseth is poised to lead a shift away from DEI efforts, promising a more traditional focus on military discipline and effectiveness, as influenced by President Trump's administration.
In a bold move, SecDef Pete Hegseth emphasizes the need to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, equating them to disbanding military discipline.
Hegseth's handwritten directive reflects a stark shift towards restoring a 'warrior ethos' in the military, rejecting a focus on diversity initiatives.
