Hegseth blasts DEI, transgender troops in State of the Force speech
House Dems offer bill to keep transgender troops in the ranks "Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth lashed out about transgender troops, disparaged diversity initiatives and criticized the news media in a speech to U.S. service members gathered at the Marine Corps Base Quantico.
The address, dubbed the "State of the Force," was promoted by the Pentagon as a chance for Hegseth to lay out his priorities for the coming year. Instead, it largely gave him a chance to air his long-held grievances and concerns about the military's culture.
"The ideological clowns are out, the patriotic cowboys are in," Hegseth said. "Diversity is not our strength, unity is our strength because that’s all that really matters when the missiles are flying."
Though Hegseth started the address by focusing on culture issues in the military, he announced several modernization initiatives.
