Ops Brief 104: Daily Drop - 30 Sep 2025 - Hegseth & Trump Speech: Culture Reset or Chaos?

Peaches goes off on the biggest shakeup in the military since forever: the Secretary of Defense (now Secretary of War) dropping a savage speech that could’ve been an email—but wasn’t. From “FAFO” threats to beard bans, fat generals, and nuking woke policies, nothing was off limits. Trump chimed in with his usual fire, telling generals to leave the room if they didn’t like it. Peaches rips through the chaos with hot takes, sarcasm, and zero filter. If you thought the military was soft—buckle up, because culture change just showed up with steel-toe boots.
