Pete Hegseth and the Anti-DEI Military Overhaul

Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth has publicly advocated for removing "woke" DEI programs from the military and reconsidering women in combat roles. Hegseth, a decorated combat veteran and former Fox News host, is expected to lead a panel of retired military personnel to review and potentially remove three- and four-star generals. His appointment signals a shift toward "lethality" and traditional military standards.
