Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is purging all aspects of woke and progressive ideology from the U.S. military.
During his keynote address at Special Operations Forces Week, Hegseth outlined how he is systematically removing those idelogies and replacing them with ensuring the military is as professional and battle ready as possible.
He explained:
It’s one of the most fundamental of those three objectives. Again, humans more important than hardware. Everything starts and ends with warriors, from training to the battlefield. We are leaving wokeness and weakness behind. No more pronouns. No more climate change obsession. No more emergency vaccine mandates. No more dudes in dresses, we’re done with that shit [applause] [cheering].
We’re focused on lethality, meritocracy, accountability standards and readiness. That’s why since Election Day, since President Trump was elected, recruitment and retention numbers are up historically. Attracting military service is something Americans have long been attracted to. But more so when they see leadership they want to follow.
They want to be in disciplined formations that value them not for immutable differences, not for the color of our skin, or gender, but because of honor and integrity and grit and patriotism. They want a meritocracy where they can work hard, make themselves better, kick ass and rise up. They’re looking for adventure, camaraderie, risk, danger.
They want to push themselves and test themselves against others. They want to flourish in an environment that embraces hard work, discipline and the warrior ethos. Special operators know a thing or two about all of those. I’ve experienced it firsthand across the world.

Last week, Hegseth declared that the military was seeing a “recruiting renaissance” under his leadership, after numbers crashed during the Biden years.
In his first full month as Defense Secretary, every single branch of the military met or exceeded recruitment goals for that month, while the army exceeded it by 15 percent.
“What we have seen since your election and the inauguration has been nothing short of a recruiting Renaissance,” Hegseth said during a recent cabinet meeting.
“It has been decades since we’ve seen this kind of recruiting in the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force.”
”The men and women of America want to join the United States military, led by President Donald Trump.”
