Too long have we promoted besides many uniformed commanders for the incorrect reasons, due to their race or sex parities.... Political leaders took the incorrect direction and we got lost," convinced US military commanders Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. – No more! – announced in the presence of president Donald Trump.

In a gathering with president Donald Trump and Pentagon head Pete Hegseth respective 100 commanders attended. The top-ranking representatives of the United States Army, Fleet and Air Force arrived at the base at Quantico. This unprecedented event has served to announce 10 fresh directives for the military, which, as Hegseth stressed, are intended to "fix decades of stupid politics and political correctness."
So for the soldier’s “fala”
Hegseth announced the introduction of fresh standards for all soldiers, including generals. There will be fitness tests, twice a year weight checking, standardization for men and women. – I do not want my boy to service alongside fat soldiers who are in bad shape, or in a combat unit with women who do not meet same physical standards as men, or with soldiers who are not full skilled in utilizing their weapons or carrying out tasks, or under a commander who was the first but not the best," he explained.
He besides announced a change in standards of appearance – to get free of beards, long hairs and "a superficial individual expression" (but he did not make this issue). Hegseth besides promised to step distant from fighting “fala” and harassment in the military. – We give instructors the chance to instill healthy fear in fresh recruits, ensuring that they will educate future warriors – justified a fresh approach. This means that instructors will be able to apply physical force to soldiers “within the limits of the law”.
President Trump adds his
The head of the Pentagon besides announced a loosening of the rules of fighting (rules of engagement). – We untie our soldiers' hands so they can intimidate, demoralize and kill our country's enemies. No more politically correct fighting rules, only common sense, maximum efficiency and freedom for warriors," he said. He argued that fresh changes meant a “day of liberation” for warriors. He just announced the dismissal of those who contributed to the policy, while those who did not like his word offered to resign.
Equally unceremonious was the speech of Chief Commander Donald Trump. “I have never entered a area that would be so quiet,” the American president started. If you want to applaud, you can applaud. You can besides leave this room. Of course, you would gotta say good-bye to the future, to the rank, but you can do it... – he was joking. And then he started talking about, among another things, his peace plan for the Gaza Strip. Let's see if Hamas agrees. If not, they will be screwed – he threatened. He mentioned about the war in Ukraine, calling it ‘strange’ and hard to complete. We gotta work things out with Putin, get them to sit down with Zelenski and get it done. We can only do it by force. If we are weak, they won't even answer my phone, but we have large strength, power – Trump said. These words are also sign of a change of policy towards Moscow – whether they translate into deeds, we will shortly see.
