Congratulations to Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth. No one has been more vocal than Hegseth on the disastrous American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. And no one has been more vocal about the wokeness that has infected the leadership ranks of the armed services. Time to clean house and put America First.
Anna Young reports on Hegseth’s nomination for the NY Post, writing:
Fox News personality and Army National Guard member Peter Hegseth’s latest book slamming the military’s embrace of “woke” ideologies helped secure his nomination for secretary of defense by President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump shocked political observers Tuesday night by tapping the “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host – a vocal Trump supporter and advocate for exiling military leadership who enforce diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives – to serve as defense secretary.
Hegseth, who has served tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay as an infantry officer, is the author of “The War on Warriors,” a best-selling book in which the Trump nominee blames the “woke military” for the recruiting crisis facing the nation’s armed services.
“For the past three years – after President Barack Obama poured the social justice foundation – the Pentagon, across all branches, has embraced the social justice message of gender equality, racial diversity, climate stupidity, and the LGBTQA+ alphabet soup in their recruiting pushes” Hegseth wrote in his book, released in June.
“Only one problem: There just aren’t enough lesbians from San Francisco who want to join the 82nd Airborne. Not only do the lesbians not join, but those very same ads turn off the young, patriotic, Christian men who have traditionally filled our ranks.”
Trump touted Hegseth’s book in his announcement, adding that he’s “tough, smart and a true believer in America First.”
