U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has declared war on overweight generals and admirals serving in the American military. Hegseth stated, "It is absolutely unacceptable to see overweight generals and admirals in the corridors of the Pentagon," and he also told the officers that they should resign if they do not support his agenda.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth spoke at a meeting attended by more than 800 generals and admirals at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
DECLARED WAR ON OVERWEIGHT GENERALS IN THE ARMY
Hegseth criticized some of the U.S. generals and admirals who were called to an emergency meeting last week from their posts around the world without details, for being overweight, stating, "It is absolutely unacceptable to see overweight generals and admirals in the corridors of the Pentagon."
DREW ATTENTION TO PROMOTIONS
Hegseth stated that he had removed many senior commanders for "maintaining wrong cultural priorities" and that the changes in assignments would continue. He also accused politicians of forcing the military to focus on "the wrong things" and claimed that soldiers were promoted based on "race, gender quotas, and so-called historical principles."
"THOSE WHO DO NOT SUPPORT SHOULD RESIGN"
Criticizing senior generals and admirals for focusing on diversity and climate issues instead of being ready for war, the Secretary of Defense stated, "There is no worship of climate change, division, distraction, or gender confusion; there is no wreckage." Hegseth said that U.S. officers should resign if they do not support their own agenda.
"NO MORE BEARDED MEN"
Hegseth announced that they would review military organization with a new ten-point plan, emphasizing the importance of maintenance standards by stating that fitness tests would only be conducted based on male criteria. Referring to the new era rules, Hegseth said, "The era of unprofessional appearance is over. There are no more bearded men."
