Hegseth Urges Military to Resign If They Disagree with His Views on Diversity and Combat Policy
During a recent address at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, Pete Hegseth, a prominent war chief, called on military members to “wake up” and even resign if they opposed his stance on eliminating diversity initiatives and lifting restrictions on using lethal force during combat.
Hegseth emphasized that the primary mission of the military should be to prepare for and win wars, disregarding anything else. He didn’t hold back, stating, “If my words resonate negatively with you, then perhaps, consider resigning honorably.” He expressed appreciation for those who had served, but added that he believed most would align with his message.
