SecDef Institutes Policy Change He Calls A ‘Doozy’… Reversing Biden-Era Insanity...Pete Hegseth is busy making the military great again.
Clash Daily ^ | April 25, 2025 | Wes Walker

If you are wondering why the left is working so very hard to discredit and destroy SecDef Pete Hegseth, you need not look any further than the wins he’s racking up.

Hegseth promised to rip the ‘woke’ out of our military and return it to the business of being a force of warfighters that strikes the fear of God — or at least the fear of Uncle Sam — into those nations that mean us harm.

Earlier this week, he announced the reversal of Biden’s COVID compliance firing policy, with an active search for those ‘warriors of conscience’ as Pete calls them who were wronged, inviting them to return to duty.

Just yesterday, we learned that the US Army has exceeded its 2025 enlistment goals SIX MONTHS ahead of schedule:

With the return to a lethality focus in our military, rather than — whatever the hell was going on over the last four years — we are seeing a reversal in the collapse of recruiting numbers we saw in the Biden years.

It was obvious to us that Biden’s standards were a long way from what our military saw in years gone by. But Pete is reversing a Biden-era waiver that shows us exactly HOW radical the attempt to undermine and woke-ify our fighting forces really was.

VIDEO AT LINK...................

After explaining the extent to which people whose conditions would leave them unfit to drive public transportation, let alone serve in our military were being granted waivers to serve, Hegseth overturned that policy with a stroke of his pen.

What physical and mental conditions were being granted waivers?

He names a few from the list: schizophrenia, congestive heart failure, cystic fibrosis, chronic use of oxygen. Oh, and one other condition that he had to look up: paraphilic disorders.

We went to the national library of medicine for a definition:

Paraphilias are persistent and recurrent sexual interests, urges, fantasies, or behaviors of marked intensity involving objects, activities, or even situations that are atypical in nature. Although not innately pathological, a paraphilic disorder can evolve if paraphilia invokes harm, distress, or functional impairment on the lives of the affected individual or others. A total of eight Paraphilias are listed in the DSM V and include pedophilia, exhibitionism, voyeurism, sexual sadism, sexual masochism, frotteurism, fetishism, and transvestic fetishism.

Definitionally, this isn’t just about weird sex bents. This definition describes the kind of urges that are not merely constrained to the bedroom, but expand to impact the ordinary function of daily life.

Pedophilia is on that list. So is sadism. And despite all of the efforts of the military to clean up MeToo allegations and situations, they included a waiver for ‘frotteurism’ which (we had to look it up) includes rubbing one’s body against non-consenting persons.

If only there were some clue on that list of eight that might suggest why Biden would be so eager to give such a waiver… oh wait. What was the last condition on the list?

Ah, yes. Of course.

About 2 years ago, I was reading a summary by a Air Force senior NCO...over health conditions of people in his organization.

He noted two unusual ‘waivers’...one NCO had oxygen ‘need’. The guy had a tank and was getting an hour a day of ‘fresh-air’. This came after a bout of Covid, and he was convinced of the need. This was described as a problem...if you needed to deploy the guy, or even send him off for 2 weeks of training. Leadership questioned how long this waiver would last and the medical folks could never provide a straight answer.

The second topic was a airman who was waivered with Schizophrenia. The medical response was that he was OK...and under treatment. No one trusted the guy.

I just don’t remember all this stuff in the 1980s/1990s when I was in.

“‘frotteurism’ which (we had to look it up) includes rubbing one’s body against non-consenting persons.”

My cat was diagnosed with that. Took a lot of intense surgery, but a few (strong) meds and putting him alone with a dog he never met pretty much solved the problem.

our military should be engaged in the planting of daisies on enemy graves and breaking any shit that the enemy owns. oh, and maybe being a deterrent to any potential future enemy that doesn’t like daisies on their graves or want their shit effed up.

LOL! One of my cats might need to seek help with that dysfunction, too.

LOL!

You put healthy young men and women in a ship, and you get pregnancies!

AND, you decrease the ship’s ability to fight, particularly with respect to damage control.

Women in ships was a bad idea, right FRom the get-go.

The people who made these bad decisions NEVER had to serve in ships with women crewmembers!

And NEVER had to suffer the consequences of their actions!

DACOWITZ, finally! Is gone!
