‘The Status Quo Hasn’t Worked’: Hegseth Breaks Down Why Pentagon Needs Major Shake Up
“There’s no list, Shannon. I’ve heard that. I’ve seen that very rumor. Although, we have a very keen eye toward military leadership and their willingness to follow lawful orders. This is all about defending the Constitution. [Former President] Joe Biden gave lawful orders. A lot of them are really bad,” Hegseth said.
“It’s unfortunate how they eroded our military ideological, COVID mandates,” Hegseth added. “President Trump has given another set of lawful orders and they will be followed. If they’re not followed, and all these orders are in keeping with the Constitution and norms inside the military.”
Since cuts began in January, Democrats have pushed back against Trump’s efforts to clean out wasteful spending within the government. One department that is reportedly slated to see cuts is the Department of Defense (DOD) due to past reports of its misuse of taxpayer funds. In April 2024, the Pentagon, under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, could not provide Congress with a compiled report by its due date of March 2024 on how much the military was spending on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training, salaries for DEI administrators and any impacts on recruiting and retention throughout the force.
Let's hope he holds the Army to account for the missing BAS funds.
Pete Hegseth just went OFF on the ACLU for trying to stop him from housing illegal immigrants at Gitmo:
“I say BULLSH*T to the ACLU! They want to make America look bad and undermine our Commander-in-Chief.”
He defended the facilities, calling them “top-notch” with full medical, dental, and religious accommodations.

The anti-American Communist Lawyers Union needs to be declared a terrorist organization. They always have been.

Hegseth needs to go. He looks like a deer in the headlights. He is making Trump look bad. Trump had no issue firing people in his first term, I don't know why he is giving this guy a break. I'm thinking that he believes firing him will bring down a ton of criticism on him for picking him in the first place. Doesn't matter, the media will crucify him no matter what. Do the right thing and kick this bozo to the curb.

Unlike you I believe Hegseth has to stay. Trump knew when he picked him that the job was difficult and the media would be dead set against Hegseth. Now he is getting on with what needed to be done, he has fired the deep staters in the Pentagon and his next step is to remove the Obama treasonous higher rank now infesting the fighting force. Sure he is taking heat, Trump knew he would and is sticking with him. He has to if he wants a military of fighting men.
