HOPEFULLY THE END OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING IN THE MILITARY
ALL STANDARDS TO BE BASED ON MERIT
Yesterday, Pete Hegseth, the head of the defense department, made his big speech before the high ranking members of the military. It was a surprisingly well delivered and appropriate speech in an effort to restore the integrity and morale of the United States military. It was in effect declaring the end of social engineering in the military, an end of all woke policies and return of uniform standards for all without special cutouts or exceptions, especially for combat soldiers.
All soldiers would need to qualify on a semi-annual basis, combat standards would be based on male expected performance. Uniform and personal hair and beard standards would be uniform as in former times. He stated that these standards would be the same for all members of the military.
I would hope that there would be still exceptions for the older commanders of the military, if look at the past we have seen in war some of the best commanders would not have been able to compete physically with 20 year old soldiers, General Schwarzkopf and in fact the present commander in chief would be good examples. Many of the high ranking generals of the past were valuable for their experience and decision making ability rather than physical ability.
I watched all of Hegseth's speech and part of Trump's, I think it would have been best to have let Hegseth have his day, Trump did his usual political highlighting of accomplishments. The major statement he made was reiterating that the U.S. is in effect, out of the Ukraine conflict. Weapons would be sold to the EU members and they can do what they want with them. He made it clear that there will not be any more aid to Ukraine. We will see if this is true.
Many believed this was some sort of preparation for war, but I believe it was just the much needed reform to make the military a high morale and cohesive fighting force, as in the past.
