Trump Admin - Sec Def Hegseth

[Clem72]

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.

He will keep Hegseth until the man has done all the highly visible and controversial changes, then put in a slightly more moderate person who will let up just a little bit on the reins and the media will go focus on someone/something else.

Sounds like someone's got a bit of wishing going on. At least our guys aware of who he hired.

Leftist West Point Professor Leaves in a Huff Over the End of Brainwashing​

The op-ed was in response to the directive by President Trump (Two New Trump Executive Orders Are Guaranteed to Make Pete Hegseth's Life Really Interesting – RedState) and amplified into policy by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (Pentagon Orders Academies to Remove DEI/Anti-Racism From Libraries, Admit Candidates Solely on Merit – RedState). The Trump administration and Hegseth's team focused on changing the service academies from clones of elite liberal northeast private colleges and returning to their roots as institutions dedicated to producing top-quality military leaders. Quite honestly, unless that focus exists, there is no reason for the service academies, as ROTC produces officers on par with academy graduates at a fraction of the cost.

This was not something Doctor Parsons, who studies "the relationship between military ethics and gender, especially masculinity," could accept. It was fine when West Point held mandatory seminars for officers-in-training titled "Understanding Whiteness and White Rage." But getting back to warfighting was a bridge too far.

It turned out to be easy to undermine West Point. All it took was an executive order from President Trump and a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dictating what could and couldn’t be taught in the military and its educational institutions.

Truthfully, West Point and its sister institutions were undermined long before Trump was elected or Hegseth tabbed to lead the Department of Defense. In March 2024, West Point formally retired the phrase "Duty, Honor, Country" from its mission statement (West Point 'Updates' Venerable Mission Statement, Disgracefully Removes 'Duty, Honor, Country' – RedState).

Then came the executive order from Mr. Trump on Jan. 27 and Mr. Hegseth’s memo two days later. Mr. Trump’s order prohibited any educational institution operated by the armed forces from “promoting, advancing or otherwise inculcating” certain “un-American” theories, including “gender ideology” and the idea that “America’s founding documents are racist or sexist.”
Mr. Hegseth’s memo went further, adding that the service academies were prohibited even from providing instruction about such topics. Mr. Trump and Mr. Hegseth also ordered that the academies shall “teach that America and its founding documents remain the most powerful force for good in human history.”
These were brazen demands to indoctrinate, not educate.

The requirement to remove Critical Race Theory and its idiot offspring, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, from West Point's curriculum and administration could only have come as a shock to the most arrogant leftists who thought the rules did not apply to them. The coming changes were announced by Hegseth shortly after the November election when Trump said he would be Secretary of Defense; see YES! Pete Hegseth Takes Aim at Gender Ideology in Service Academies. – RedState. Trump reshaping the Boards of Visitors who oversee the academies was another sign that things would change (Making Our Military Great Again: Trump Fires Service Academy Boards of Visitors – RedState).

"To attain professional balance between press access and OPSEC, the following updated security measures for resident and visiting press are needed to reduce the opportunities for in-person inadvertent and unauthorized disclosures," it reads, followed by new restrictions on where the press can walk freely through the Pentagon. "Failure by any member of the resident or visiting press to comply with these control measures will result in further restrictions and possibly revocation of press credentials."

I want the head of the defense department to be focused on military threats from our enemies. We have other departments of government that will handle border invasions. Sorry, this guy is a bozo that should be removed. I want the guy in charge of the defense of the nation to be competent, not a clown.

You're beginning to sound crotchety, Phil.

Hegseth is getting the job done as far as I am concerned.
And it is a job that needs to be done.

Harvard is for rich kids with money that are already lost to what America is.
Our military colleges need to teach what is needed to keep our country safe.
Any DEI instruction or liberal BS is un-needed.

It is clear to me that the "border invasions" you speak of fall well within the mission of the Defense Department. The mission is "to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation's security."

Your personal dislike of SecDef isn't relevant.

Don't be silly. Who ever considered defense of their borders to be a military activity? Even the great wall of China was entirely manned by Walmart style greeters and populated with visitor welcome centers.

So, millions unvetted enter, and you know for sure none of them were crossing for threatening actions? I think well over 100,000 Chinese nationals swarmed across during Bidens term. China would be stupid not to embed folks into that stream.

What can you do to enforce the law when local police are ordered by corrupt officials to stand down?
It took 2 hrs, for the LA Police department to respond. The local police filled with DEI officers.
The local Fire Dept. run by Lesbian bull dykes.

If it keep up local might start arming and vigilantes could step in.
People have to feel they are protected from this lawless attempt to stop the Government from deporting illegals.
Obama, Joe Biden Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Swallowwell, Newsom, They are the reason California and the USA are in this mess and they are untouchable. Almost.
