Hegseth details new initiatives in partisan address to troops
The Pentagon will create a four-star autonomous warfare command and cut general and admiral billets by 20%, Hegseth said.
- On Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered his State of the Force address at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, announcing a "20% reduction across the board" in admiral and general positions already underway.
- Hegseth framed the cuts as accountability while declaring, "No fatties, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals," aiming to remove what he called "woke" elements and champion a warrior ethos.
- Nearly 800 senior leaders attended as Hegseth described the department as "colorblind, gender neutral, and merit based." Sen. Jack Reed sharply criticized the secretary's "reckless, partisan actions" that damaged the military.
- Political backlash intensified as Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie filed formal impeachment articles against Hegseth, and Senator Thom Tillis urged President Donald Trump to fire him, citing "inept management."
- The speech occurs amid the ongoing war in Iran, which has driven diesel prices to a record $6.53 per gallon, prompting critics to argue the timing is ill-advised amid economic pressures.
