Hegseth (at Trump's urging) is removing "Woke" policies from the military but in an overly aggressive way!

Democrats can shove their 'woke' crap up their ass, then go repeatedly F yourselves you perverted shit stains!

Conformity Sires Deformity

The anal-retentive breed the anal-receptive.

LOL I may have replied already but forgive me. I woke this morning as I usually do and hope to for many years but when I see it used as if it means anything outside of a choir of idiots lead by bad ideas and stupid words I hope America survives this stupidity. LOL

What word will next be used by the ignorant in place of thought and understanding. When it comes please laugh it helps.

I know what you are saying. We need to support strength no matter what, correct?

I guess these men are on your list of idols, no?

Selective examples don't prove anything. If you can't understand, "The exception proves the rule," your logic is shallow, slippery, and predatory. I doubt if it even convinces you, except in an irrational and emotional snowflurry of "So there!"

Most American war leaders are like this:

Oh wait . . . Holy Shit!

Hitler had meetings. Trump had a meeting.

My GAWD! An EXACT MATCH!

the AF MP's didn't get that memo, of course those of us in combat MOS's had a different playbook than the MPs did.

Hegseth (at Trump's urging) is removing "Woke" policies from the military but in an overly aggressive way!

AI Overview

The term "woke policies" is a politically charged and controversial phrase, primarily used by critics to label policies perceived as excessively progressive on issues of race, gender, sexuality, and social justice.

A very rare (and over the top) meeting was arranged where over 776 U.S. generals from all over the world (more than 400 of them being oversees) were brought in to Quantico at a very high cost.

Hegseth's mystery meeting in Quantico could cost millions, require unprecedented security​

Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of U.S. Army Europe, posted to X, referencing when Adolf Hitler summoned German generals in 1935 to swear a "personal loyalty oath to the Führer."

The meeting was arranged for this reason:

AI Overview

News reports from late September 2025 indicate that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and former President Donald Trump are moving forward with plans to assert political control over the U.S. military leadership. This includes significant firings of senior military officials and the forced attendance of hundreds of generals and admirals at a highly unusual meeting at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Critics have voiced concern that these actions are an attempt to install military leaders based on loyalty rather than merit, which could undermine the military's traditional apolitical nature.

Hegseth slams 'fat generals,' says U.S. officers should resign if they don't support his agenda​

• Trump's executive order renamed Department of Defense to Department of War

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed "fat generals" and diversity initiatives that he said led to decades of decay in the military and told a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday they should resign if they don't support his agenda.

Why is this likely to be the reason for this meeting?

Following the "Dictator's Guideline Book":

AI Overview

According to the political theory outlined in The Dictator's Handbook, a leader's ability to maintain power relies on a "winning coalition" of loyal and essential supporters. For dictators, this small but powerful group often includes the military, making their loyalty a prime requirement for survival.

Are we on the way for this to happen?

I can hear you negotiating a cease fire. "Hey guys we would really like you to stop war and stuff" if you don't, we won't do anything, but stop the war stuff pwetty please!

Did Hitler have a JUDEN SON IN LAW and a DAUGHTER THAT CONVERTED TO JUDAISM?

HMMMMMMMMM

So true!

Hitler never cheated on his wife, either!

Didn't have to. He had many boytoys from the Hitler Youth to keep him busy.

You are absolutely ignorant about AI.

I work in technology, sparky

1. Typing “AI Overview” followed by a bunch of lies isn’t AI
2. AI can be manipulated depending on how you word input
3. AI has been dead wrong countless times on even the most basic stuff

You’re clearly a middle schooler (it comes across in your naivety and sentence structure).

I'm curious...

Did they hand down any new specific criteria? Such as how many sit-ups or how quick they have to run a mile or anything like that?

AI Overview


At a meeting for senior military leaders in Quantico, Virginia, on September 30, 2025, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth laid out several new rules as part of an overhaul to re-emphasize "warfighting" and end what he called "woke" culture
. The changes include stricter fitness and grooming standards, the dismantling of diversity and equity programs, and major reforms to the military's investigative processes.
New physical and grooming standards

• Tougher fitness tests: All service members will now be required to meet "gender-neutral" or "male standard" physical fitness requirements and take a fitness test twice a year. Hegseth acknowledged this might result in fewer women serving in combat roles.
• No more beards: The new rules strictly enforce clean-shaven appearances and professional grooming standards, with religious exemptions reverted to pre-2010 policies and limited to non-deployable roles.
• End of diversity and equity programs
• Scrapping DEI: Hegseth ordered the end of all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which he claims caused "division, distraction, or gender delusions".
• Merit-based promotions: The military's promotion system will be based strictly on merit, rather than what Hegseth referred to as "quotas".
• Changes to mandatory training
• Reforms to military investigations
• Changes to hazing and harassment rules: The military's policy on hazing and harassment will be reviewed, with Hegseth claiming the definition has been "overly broad" and used to "weaponize" the inspector general process.

Warning for dissenters
Hegseth was explicitly dismissive of those who might not agree with the new direction, stating, "If the words I'm speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign".

Meaning that any dissent, no matter if it is based on humanity principles that are being broken, will be met with a firing. "It is OUR way (no matter what) or the highway"

Absolutely the right thing to do…Our military is not a social experiment.

One question for you.

We are already the best military in the world, better than the 10 next ones combined.

As such, it was working FINE before. Why is there a NEED to "make it better" (especially considering that many soldiers (gays and women) are actually going to lose what they had already achieved - not get better)?

No we are not

your premise is false

It was not working fine before
It was progressively made weaker by the very changes hegseth is reversing

[Soupnazi630]

they use politics to try to come up with a compromise.

Trumps use politics to do this

View attachment 1168433

WRONG

They do NOT use politics to compromise they use politics exactly as trump is doing

So your premise is absolutely proven false

So explain why he is being " overly aggressive " as opposed to just aggressive enough

No we are not

Trump himself proves you wrong

Wrong

Nothing in that clip has ANYTHING to do with the subject at hand

We were discussing military strength youy posted a clip from another universe which has nothing to do with anything in this thread

You failed to prove anything at all
