Hegseth wants to clean up the military, but enemies remain in its ranks
'The defense complex views this as a war and is determined to wait the Trump administration out'

Service members are understandably pleased with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's commitment to make America's military a strong and lethal force once again – but according to some, a few bad actors within the force are undermining his efforts.

WorldNetDaily spoke to Dr. Chase Spears, a retired U.S. Army public affairs officer, writer and host of the Finding Your Spine podcast. "There have been some notable restorative changes in the Defense Department under Pete Hegseth's tenure," noted Spears. "But constitutionally minded friends and colleagues of mine still in the force tell me that fear of defending truth remains palpable in the ranks."

For example, said Spears: "One shared candidly that a left-wing supervisor is openly contemptuous toward the new secretary," noting that he could not remember observing a single similar instance during his 20-year career.
 

Then Spears widened his scope to describe the larger military "deep state" view of President Donald Trump, Hegseth and the rest of the Trump team: "The defense complex views this as a war and is determined to wait the Trump Administration out." In fact, he added, "Many of the senior officers charged to carry out Hegseth's orders were promoted for their fidelity to leftist ideology." For Spears, "Trusting generals and colonels who created these problems to help clean them up is unwise at best. It's past time to send the majority of them on their way."

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

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It makes sense. The same forces that have perfused politics doubtless have insinuated themselves into the military as well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
