He said that “climate change worship” and “friends of dress” came out. There is a monthly Christian prayer service.
It is 1990 again. HegSeth said that the army should think of it as in 1990, and after the change of the Internet, the change after the change after being part of the “softening, weakness or sexual foundation of other priorities, not based on evolving combat environments.”
As part of this, HegSeth said that all of the military should pass the fitness test twice a year, including generals and admirals.
Would you like to abandon the rules? “No longer politically accurate and overwhelming rules, just common sense, maximum fatal, and combatant authority,” he said.

‘Merit’ is a buzzword. HegSeth and Trump both said they would regain “Meritocracy.” It is in jeopardy by the diversity of the service. They did not mention that they could be in the eyes of the viewer. HegSeth is a combat veteran who served in the Minnesota Defense Forces and placed in Iraq and Afghanistan. But before he was confirmed as the Secretary of Defense, his job was a weekend morning show host of Fox News. He also wrote a book “The War on Warriors”, and he confirmed his name in his speech.
Trump also discussed ideas about their strengths.
“Merit. Everything is based on merit. You are all based on merit. We are politically accurate and not you, so we will not take your place for political reasons.” He did not mention that his efforts to curl federal bureaucracy caught the eye to replace Mary Talk Rashi into more people who agreed with his politics.
US military in the US. But Trump’s most important opinion was related to the defense of using US troops in the US streets. This can violate various American laws and turn the nation itself. Trump has already called the defense troops to Los Angeles, Washington DC and Portland. Despite the opposition from local officials, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport requested 100 defense members to support in Chicago.

Trump said, “George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, George Bush, etc. all have maintained domestic order and peace,” Trump would mention whiskey rebellion, rebuilding or war, and a full -man railway strike and La Riots.
“The United States is being invaded internally,” he said. “It’s not different from foreign, but it’s more difficult in many ways because it doesn’t wear uniforms.”
He hopes to dispatch US troops as a city operated by the “radical left Democratic Party” throughout the United States, and that the general will participate in the room.
Trump said, “This is also a war, which is a war inside.
On this front, he has already tested the law and tradition of the United States and is ashamed of using the army in this country. The federal judge ruled that the military deployment violated federal law in Los Angeles, especially in anti -anti -protests. He is on a powerful land to place the defense army in the federal city of Washington, DC. Trump, however, wants to deal with crime or protests in other cities, regardless of what local officials say.
These movements -It is unprecedented in American history to deal with law executions in various cities across the country to fall into a riot. In the same way as Trump, the army should see fellow Americans and protesters.
What kind of general do Trump and Hesstes do? If not clear, hegSeth was obvious.

With the same general as General Second World War Hero.
Patton has long disappeared, but many of the crowds served with Milley. Crossing Trump would have sounded like a warning about what happened.
