Pete Hegseth lays out standards in speech to top generals, admirals

In a speech Tuesday morning before an auditorium packed with several hundred of the nation's most seasoned military commanders, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for an end to "woke" culture in the military and railed against a litany of complaints such as diversity and probes into hazing.

Hegseth called for "no more division, distraction or gender delusions" in an extraordinarily blunt speech on the importance of the "warrior ethos," a term he uses to describe the spirit that makes combat units effective. Most of those admirals are just now hearing that they'll be fired.

Military listening in silence says it all. God bless our top leaders and those they lead.
