Hegseth Slams Woke Military Diversity at West Point Graduation
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a commencement address at West Point, criticizing what he described as the military’s embrace of “woke” ideologies and DEI policies. Hegseth argued that past leadership had weakened the armed forces and the American spirit by introducing diversity and inclusion studies and faculty who advocated for what he called “anti-American ideologies.” He asserted that “diversity is not our strength,” but rather “unity is our strength,” and declared that West Point’s “slow slide” toward political correctness was over.
