Pete Hegseth Declares War on ‘Woke Garbage’ in Military: ‘We Are Done With That Sh*t’

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reiterated his vow to purge the military of diversity and inclusion efforts and bring an end to “woke garbage” in the military in a blistering address to top commanders Tuesday.

Speaking at a gathering of generals, the Trump-appointed Pentagon chief said he had made it his mission “to uproot the obvious distractions that made us less capable and less lethal.”

Hegseth, a former Fox News host, cast his purge of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as part of a broader cultural battle.
