It seems that there may be some reservations about Hegseth for SecDef at the Pentagon.

“Possible” shakeup?

It better be damned near ‘guaranteed’.

What are they going to do with all the cross-dressing freaks who have ensconced themselves in the ranks?

If the only thing to come out of a Trump Administration is the firing of all the Woke generals at DoD, and a massive number of radical liberal, subversive government drones at all the departments, I’ll be happy.

Reservations perhaps from people who haven't read his book, "The War on Warriors."

Hegseth has a very clear vision of what's gone wrong with the military (it's been infected with Marxism and Critical Race Theory) and he's willing to do whatever it takes to return the military to a fighting machine based on merit.

Seismic changes are REQUIRED.

Pete has a lot of work ahead of him that is long over due.

These are not radical moves. Recall that Truman told MacArthur he was done, and Lincoln had to drop some generals.

Women out of Frontline units is just sound science. It’s called mission readiness.

I think the “limiting women in combat” crap is just code speak for making the same physical requirements for combat arms branches regardless of your chromosomes/plumbing.

Because right now, there is a disparity

Do all this, and watch military recruitment skyrocket!

No healthy young man wants to serve in a woke military run by DEI hires.

The pick of Hegseth, who lacks extensive experience in the defense or foreign policy sector…

The man rose to the rank of Major and won two Bronze Stars. Don't tell me that he lacks defense experience. He knows how to fight, which is more that the crew now leading the Pentagon can say.

Definitely need females off the boats and subs. Otherwise they are going to have to put in Labor and Delivery ICUs next to the sick bays.

Ideally should gender-segregate all aspects of the military, which worked very well for years.

The Communists wanted integration of the sexes NOT for womens' rights but to demoralize and destroy unit cohesion and mission success.

Which seems to have worked famously.

Since Trump is second-term POTUS AND CinC, he should just do it.

In a low birthrate country, it's stupid to have females in combat.

It seems that there may be some reservations.

Yea, they all work either in the pentagon or in the pro-war lobby.

Women have only been allowed to serve in all military capacities since the start of 2016. However, they are required to pass the same physical requirement as their counterparts.

That's a LIE.

There are a whole bunch of really good people who have suffered the last many years in humiliated silence to hold on to what little they have left. They need to be found and preserved and promoted. They have earned recognition. They are the people who have persevered to preserve what war fighting capabilities we have in spite of their so-called leadership.

You can easily identify most of them by the smile on their faces that they have in anticipation that retribution and revival is at hand.

After April 1975 the Chair Borne Rangers in the Pentagon no longer needed war fighters and firmly planted their butts in power and are highly skilled in office politics. Pete is going to have a fight on his hands.

I don’t think this is a “hint” at all. He got a mandate from the man we mandated to shake it up. (Admirals in dresses, c’mon man!) Read Pete’s book if you want to see what he is going to do, it gets pretty obvious in just the introduction.
