Hegseth plans sweeping overhaul of the US Pentagon
Story by John Hill • 19h

Ahead of his accession to lead the US Department of Defense (DoD), Pete Hegseth announced a loaded agenda to roll back the existing apparatus in an effort to ditch structures, decisions, and processes outside the ideological bounds of President Donald Trump’s America First doctrine.
 
Rebuilding the US military, Hegseth said on 25 January 2025, “means reviving our defense industrial base, reforming our acquisition process, passing a financial audit, and rapidly fielding emerging technologies.” Thus, “We will remain the strongest and most lethal force in the world.”

These aims will constitute sweeping changes at the Pentagon headquarters in Washington. In the meantime, however, over the next several months, officials will undertake a review to determine what will stay and what will have to go.

Trump’s flurry of executive orders, signed in the days after his inauguration, direct officials to assess the supposed damage done to the defence establishment under his predecessor, Joe Biden.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

The word suggests he didn't earn or merit the position, but like dictators, got it through power and influence.
