Hegseth, Trump Push Lethality and Culture Shift | JQJO

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced sweeping military policy changes aimed at reforming organizational culture, emphasizing fitness, and rejecting "woke" ideologies. Former President Donald Trump, speaking at the same event, controversially suggested using "dangerous" US cities as military training grounds and advocated for aggressive retaliation against perceived adversaries. Hegseth vowed to prioritize "maximum lethality" and roll back diversity initiatives, while Trump emphasized a "they spit, we hit" mentality, drawing silence from uniformed officers.
