Defense secretaryās speech touching on physical fitness and doctrine of lethality was seen as āegotisticalā and ādangerousā
Naveed Shah, a veteran and activist who served as an enlisted public affairs specialist ā an army journalist ā uncharacteristically found himself searching for words to describe the address of the newly styled secretary of war to flag officers on Tuesday.
āA lot of the words that are coming to me arenāt fit to print,ā said Shah, policy director for Common Defense, a veterans advocacy organization. āThe people in that room who have served for 20, 30-plus years in uniform do not need Pete Hegseth to tell them about warrior ethos.ā
Hegsethās hour-long Ted talk-style address touching on physical fitness, the doctrine of lethality and the perils of DEI certainly drew more attention than a policy memo might have, and perhaps more than Donald Trumpās rambling, politically charged hour-long speech that followed.
I mean, itās the War budget we are talking about, Cost is not a factor. The Defense budget was so completely out of control, they could afford building a total electronic surveillance machine that records and stores everything anyone says or write on the Internet, all of that with the pocket change in the Pentagonās couches.
