"The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don't-hurt-anyone's-feelings leadership ends right now at every level," Hegseth said. "We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia. "But not anymore,"
"If the words I'm speaking today are making your hearts sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign," Hegseth said. "It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon."
President Donald Trump convened senior military leaders at Quantico and ordered a military quick reaction force to respond to civil unrest in U.S. cities. He said the military would participate in crackdowns on several Democratic-run cities and described the effort as a "war from within." Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth is implementing sweeping changes, including renaming the Department of Defense and overhauling promotion, complaint and investigation procedures. Hegseth criticized promotions based on race or gender quotas, declared an end to politically correct leadership, and introduced stricter grooming and fitness standards while urging those who disagree to resign.
