An Army veteran who rose to the rank of major and served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hegseth, 44, says he believes that standards have declined and that efforts to expand diversity, equity and inclusion have driven white men away.

He complains in his latest book that “woke” generals and the leaders of the elite service academies have left the military dangerously weak and “effeminate” by promoting DEI. He says, “the next commander in chief will need to clean house.”

“Turns out, all the ‘diversity’ recruiting messages made certain kids — white kids — feel like they’re not wanted,” he said in his book.

If confirmed, he has said there will be no more “social justice, politically correct approaches to how we fight and conduct wars.” Instead, he said, “this is about lethality, meritocracy, readiness.”

And he has vowed to fire generals involved in “woke” programs.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Expect Dems to pull Kavanaugh-like stunts. Former FOX News host Gretchen Carlson is working to assist in a surprise witness.
