“In yet one more show of incompetence, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth made a whole bunch of our senior-most army commanders fly to D.C. from world wide to hearken to a partisan marketing campaign speech. These commanders are answerable for main fight troops, plane carriers, and nuclear bombers in locations like Europe, the Center East, and Asia. However as an alternative of defending our nationwide safety, our army commanders had been all introduced collectively in a single location for President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s self-importance rally. Serving within the army is a critical enterprise for critical folks. As we speak’s marketing campaign rally is simply the most recent instance of how Secretary Hegseth is incapable of doing his job and has to resort to theatrics to distract from his failures. As an alternative of specializing in enhancing our readiness or deterrence in opposition to our adversaries, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth clearly solely care about additional infecting our army with partisan, tradition conflict ideologies that can in the end make us much less secure.
“Eliminating the present extremely rigorous requirements for girls in fight positions has nothing to do with growing lethality and every thing to do with forcing girls out of the Armed Forces. Secretary Hegseth has mentioned he doesn’t consider girls ought to serve in fight. Now he’s making an attempt to make that occur by escalating his conflict on girls within the army, regardless of presenting no proof that girls can not ably serve in fight positions.
“Politics has no place in our army, and our army has no place for partisan hacks. As we speak’s speeches wasted thousands and thousands in taxpayer {dollars} to place collectively and did nothing to strengthen our army — demonstrating Hegseth is totally unfit to be Secretary of Protection.”
