Hegseth Drops 6 Pentagon Bombshells In Fire-Breathing Quantico Speech

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth used a "State of the Force" speech at Marine Corps Base Quantico on Wednesday to announce six initiatives meant to overhaul how the military operates, builds, recruits and prays. Addressing junior officers and non-commissioned officers, he said the armed forces have dropped what he called woke policies in favor of warfighting, readiness and lethality, and credited President Donald J. Trump for leadership that he said has made the force stronger than at any point in the nation's history, according to Daily Wire.

Hegseth said sexual assaults and suicides in the military are down and that Black and female recruitment is up despite the end of quotas. He turned sharply on the press, accusing reporters of exposing troop movements, leaking classified capabilities and misrepresenting munitions stockpiles. He also said U. S. forces have destroyed Iran's Navy, Air Force, air defenses, leadership and military industrial capacity, and that Iran's conventional strength is crippled.

He celebrated standardized physical fitness tests and the removal of identity-based programs, using crude language to describe who is no longer wanted in the ranks. Hegseth also urged Congress to quickly approve a $350 billion reconciliation package to fund the changes and help the U. S.
