Over 120 retired U.S. military leaders endorse Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, despite criticism over his stance on 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' in the armed forces.
More than 120 retired U.S. generals and admirals expressed strong support for President-elect Donald Trump ’s nominee for Secretary of Defense , U.S. Army veteran Pete Hegseth . The letter comes in the wake of Hegseth being publicly criticized for the nomination and his expressed determination to serve in the role. They pointed to Hegseth ’s very public passion for the military and his record in Iraq and Afghanistan. Together they argued he was the “warrior” the U.S. needed to lead its military.
They noted Trump selected Hegseth from a list of other talented and qualified individuals because of his willingness to fight on. His supporters believe Hegseth would make good on his long-held stance of “depoliticizing” the military and his rebuttals of “DEI”-type policies and other “toxic ideologies” critics claim have been foisted upon troops in recent years. They continued: President Trump has the right and responsibility to select key people who are capable of fulfilling his promises to the American people. Prominent in that mandate was making our military strong and lethal, to include removing what is called “wokeness” in the form of (DEI) from our armed forces
