Hegseth Tells Generals: “Prepare for War”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed senior military leadership, emphasizing a renewed focus on “warfighting” as the primary mission of the newly renamed Department of War. He stressed the importance of physical fitness and appearance, mandating stricter weight and fitness requirements for all service members, especially those in combat roles. Additionally, Hegseth criticized “woke” policies within the department, vowing to eliminate initiatives he deemed as distractions. President Donald Trump also signaled his intention to swiftly remove senior military leaders who do not meet his standards.
