APSecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speaks to senior military leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, USA.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of US military officials to an in-person meeting Tuesday to announce directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or “male-level” standards for physical fitness as well as an end to “woke” culture in the military. Hegseth said the US military has promoted too many leaders for the wrong reasons based on race, gender quotas and “historic firsts.” “The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don’t hurt anyone’s feelings leadership ends right now at every level,” Hegseth said. He said he is loosening disciplinary rules and weakening hazing protections. Hegseth said military leaders should do the honourable thing and resign if they don’t like his new approach.Live EventsAdd as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
