Hegseth slams ’fat generals,’ says U.S. officers should resign if they don’t support his agenda
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed "fat generals" and diversity initiatives that he said led to decades of decay in the military and told a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday they should resign if they don’t support his agenda.
"Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way. We became the ’Woke Department,’" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia. "But not anymore," he said.
"If the words I’m speaking today are making your hearts sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign," Hegseth said.
