Elon Musk returns to the Trump administration to co-lead the Pentagon's new warfare project
US Defense Secretary Hegseth to Cut 20% of Generals, Admirals
Good news! Trim the fat! Less stars!
"War Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce today a 20% cut to the positions reserved for generals and admirals, doubling the reduction he ordered last year.
The cuts apply to slots, not the officers filling them now. Some jobs will be downgraded so that colonels and Navy captains can hold them, and the services have until this Jan. 1 to complete the work.
Last year’s order trimmed 10% of all generals and admirals and 20% of four-stars, which Hegseth summed up as “Less Generals, more GIs.” ..."

Marines, Navy mandate yearly gas mask training to ‘reinforce grooming compliance’. Really!
Is that necessary! Sounds cynical!
How often did poisonous gas attacks happen in military conflicts since 1918 AC/CE? According to Google Search perhaps a dozen times (not including terrorist attacks).
Why does the US military not invest in research to make daily shaving a thing of the past! I would be very happy! 😊
"The Marine Corps and Navy will require personnel to undergo annual gas mask fit training beginning at the end of August, a move the services say is intended in part to “reinforce grooming compliance.” ..."

Pentagon launches low testosterone screening program for male troops
What hormone will the DoD test female soldiers for? Is testerone testing in the military necessary? Is it obscure?
Is this potentially a violation of gender equality?
"The Pentagon will begin annually screening service members for testosterone deficiency, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday, citing the need to ensure troops maintain the “biological foundation” to fight.
Under the new program, the secretary said service members aged 30 and older will be tested yearly for testosterone deficiency as part of routine health assessments. Troops under 30, meanwhile, will have the option to be tested, he said. ...
The decision to receive testosterone replacement therapy — if recommended by a medical professional — will remain up to the individual service member. ..."

US Defense Secretary Hegseth warns European allies to stop 'free riding' and help reopen the strait
Good news! Bravo!
During the Cold War, the European NATO members were accused like this many times!
After the Cold War it is perhaps time to dissolve the NATO. Let the Europeans build their own defense!

Anthropic sued the Trump administration for designating it a security threat. Really!
Is this a frivolous lawsuit by Anthropic? Quite possibly!
It is probably well within the discretion and authority of the US President to designate a US company as such a threat.
".. The DOD and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are among the defendants. “President Trump will never allow a radical-left, woke company to jeopardize our national security by dictating how the greatest and most powerful military in the world operates,” the White House said. ..." (Source)

US Defense Secretary Hegseth says Pentagon is cutting all ties with Harvard University

US Senator Mark Kelly, a retired US Navy captain, will be demoted by the Secretary of Defense for a seditious video
Good news! Bravo!
"The Pentagon is moving to demote Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, over his participation in a video calling on troops to resist illegal orders, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
Reducing the Arizona Democrat’s retired rank would significantly cut his retirement pay. Hegseth also said he’d issued a formal “Letter of Censure.” The actions taken against Kelly are an extraordinary censure of a sitting U.S. senator but stop short of recalling him to active duty and prosecuting him, as Trump officials have threatened to do. Hegseth didn’t rule it out."
What does his wife Gabby Giffords think of his video? (Source)

US Defense Secretary Hegseth directs Navy to probe US Senator Mark Kelly for 'potentially unlawful conduct,” report by Dec. 10
Good news! Bravo! What was this fool thinking when he participated in this shameful add!
What does his wife Gabrielle Gifford say about this?
"War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the United States Navy on Tuesday to conduct a review of Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly's recent comments in a viral video that urged troops to defy "illegal orders." ..."
Maybe his next suit will be an orange jumpsuit at the notorious Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp (just kidding)

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth strengthens Vietnam partnership
Good news!
"U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was in Vietnam on Sunday, reaffirming a partnership built on healing the scars of the Vietnam War in a trip that will test whether Washington can reassure a vital but wary partner.
Hegseth said addressing the legacies of the war, which ended 50 years ago in April, remains the foundation and a top priority of the countries’ defense relationship.
At the end of his talks with Vietnamese Defense Minister Phan Van Giang, Hegseth handed over a leather box, a belt and a small knife — wartime artifacts once taken by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War.
Such returns have become part of broader reconciliation efforts between the two countries, with similar relics — including letters, identification tags and photographs — handed back to the U.S. in recent years. ...
Cooperation on postwar issues remains key to U.S.-Vietnam relations. Since normalizing ties in 1995, the two countries have worked together to clear unexploded ordnance, recover remains of missing service members and clean up dioxin — the toxic chemical used in Agent Orange — from former U.S. air bases that continue to affect communities. ..."

US military service members with facial hair blocked from Pete Hegseth's South Korea event
The Defense Secretary is serious about facial hair!
"... The Pentagon last month unveiled new grooming standards for troops, requiring service members “to be clean shaven and neat in presentation for a proper military appearance.” ..."

Wounded Knee medals decision by Defense Secretary Hegseth sparks outrage in Native communities
This could be controversial, indeed! It is advisable for Pete Hegseth to reconsider and carefully evaluate! The Wounded Knee Massacre may well qualify as an exemption.
"Native American communities that had long wanted the removal of military honors for the soldiers involved in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre had their hopes dashed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ...
“The era of politically correct, overly sensitive, ‘don’t-hurt-anyone’s-feelings’ leadership ends right now at every level,” Hegseth said Tuesday to hundreds of military officials at a ceremony. The defense secretary announced new directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or “male-level” standards for physical fitness and painted a picture of a military that has been hamstrung by “woke” policies.
Hegseth had announced last week in a video on social media that Wounded Knee soldiers will keep their Medals of Honor ..."
‘No more beardos’: Hegseth gives military branches 60 days to end shaving waivers for almost all US troops
Hegseth triggers headlines! Weirdos are no beardos?
"The Pentagon will cease granting permanent medical shaving exemptions and end most religious exemptions that have allowed some U.S. military troops to wear beards in uniform in recent years, according to a Tuesday memorandum from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. ..."

Hegseth declares war on woke military policies: 'We are done with that s**t'
Good news! Bravo! Long overdue! Bring back the warrior ethos to defend freedom, constitutional democracy with separation of powers and rule of law around the world!
A force for good not for being a LGBTQ club! Not long ago there used to be an acceptable, working compromise policy of "Don't ask, don't tell!" starting in 1994, which was repealed in 2011 under President Obama.
Do taxpayers have to pay for the transition of soldiers or military staff who want to become transgender? Under what conditions?
It appears, the US military has become too much a laboratory for dubious social experiments!
"Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced another policy shake-up in the department to uproot remaining woke policies that have plagued our military.
Hegseth delivered remarks to hundreds of generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, calling out policies that promote gender diversity rather than military strength and merit. ..."

US Army imposes stricter grooming standards for hair, nails, makeup
The Department of War wants warriors, not drag queens nor fashion models! Just kidding!
However, women with claws may fight better? Just kidding!
"The U.S. Army announced updates to its grooming regulations Monday, changing standards for soldiers’ hairstyles, jewelry, nail length and makeup use.
The service started a process to review its existing standards nearly two years ago. A group of Army leaders and stakeholders found many of the rules to be ambiguous and difficult to interpret, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer said during a Sept. 8 media panel. ..."

Troops with medical shaving waivers to face separation, Department of Defense Secretary Hegseth says
The Department of War wants clean shaven warriors and not a rag tag army! Just kidding!
This leads me to wonder again why is there still no way of easily and permanently removing facial hair available! It is a scandal! I hate shaving every morning! What a waste of my time!
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s pursuit of a clean-shaven military took its latest step Monday when the Pentagon announced that troops who require medical shaving waivers for longer than a year will face involuntary separation, according to an official memo. ..."
Shave and be brave, nowhere to hide! 😊 (Source)

Defense Secretary Hegseth says Chinese nationals can't work as coders on DoD cloud systems. Really!
Does this mean there were Chinese coders working for the DoD before? Incredible! How stupid and naive is that!
"... “It blows my mind that I’m even saying these things — it's such common sense — that we ever allowed it to happen," he said in a video posted to the social media platform, X. "That’s why we’re attacking it so hard. We expect vendors doing business with the Department of Defense to put U.S. national security ahead of profit maximization." ..."
