Hegseth’s Anti-DEI Crusade: Misleading “Enola Straight” Claim Sparks Outrage
Despite his claims to prioritize military readiness and meritocracy, Secretary Hegseth has instead implemented policies prioritizing a white, Christian nationalist agenda. This includes purging experienced military leaders, cutting budgets, and undermining intelligence gathering, all while actively suppressing recognition of diverse groups and historical figures. Hegseth’s actions, such as reversing a policy barring segregation in defense contractor facilities and banning references to the Enola Gay, demonstrate a concerted effort to erase inclusivity from the military. His administration’s hiring of individuals promoting neo-Nazi ideologies further underscores this extreme agenda, revealing a focus on creating a military reflective of his narrow worldview.
