Leftist “woke” ideology and political correctness are being removed from the US military under President Trump’s new term, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said at a conference Tuesday.
“We are leaving wokeness and weakness behind,” Hegseth declared at a Special Operations Forces Week 2025 gathering in Tampa, Florida.
“No more pronouns, no more climate change obsession, no more emergency vaccine mandates, no more dudes in dresses. We’re done with that shit,” he added, as the audience applauded.

“We’re focused on lethality, meritocracy, accountability, standards, and readiness,” Hegseth added. “That’s why since election day, since President Trump was elected, recruitment and retention numbers are up historically. Attracting military service is something Americans have long been attracted to, but more so when they see leadership they want to follow.”
“They want to be in disciplined formations that value them not for immutable differences, not for the color of our skin or gender, but because of honor and integrity and grit and patriotism. They want a meritocracy where they can work hard, make themselves better, kick ass, and rise up. They’re looking for adventure, camaraderie, risk, danger. They want to push themselves and test themselves against others. They want to flourish in an environment that embraces hard work, discipline, and the warrior ethos.”
Under the Biden administration, the US military had become a laughingstock, prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) standards over merit, inviting all sorts of weird unqualified leftists into its ranks – to the detriment of one of the most fiercest armies in the world.
With real men like Hegseth and President Donald Trump leading the charge, the US military will once again recruit more men of integrity and character, and reclaim its standing on the world stage.
In related news, the US Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration’s policy banning transgender individuals from enlisting in the military to go into effect while the case remains under judicial review.
