Pete Hegseth's Newest Defense Order Is Sure To Annoy A Lot Of Military Members
Story by David Moye • 10h

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is going to extreme lengths to make sure every member of the military listens to what he says.

That includes the lengthy speech he made late last month that was basically a diatribe against “fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon” and “dudes in dresses.”
 

Hegseth directed U.S. military leaders to make sure every member of the DOD watches the speech he made on Sept. 30 in Quantico, Virginia, and reviews the policy changes, according to a memo reviewed by CNN.

In the memo dated Oct. 6, Hegseth declared: “Leaders at every level will ensure all personnel will either watch the full recording or read the official transcript of the speech, and review the policy changes no later than 31 October 2025.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It leaves the policies less open to major "interpretations" or being ignored when everyone knows the policies.  It's called communication.
