Hegseth rails against 'woke,' lays out standards in speech to top generals

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed hundreds of top military commanders at a last-minute event in Quantico, Virginia. Hegseth emphasized the "warrior ethos," strict fitness, and grooming standards, rebranding the Defense Department as the "Department of War." Trump also spoke, with the meeting's purpose appearing to be a morale boost amid a looming government shutdown. The event, which may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, occurs as Congress faces a deadline to pass a spending bill, potentially impacting troop pay.
