Our military is a fighting force whose mission is to control and destroy the enemy. They are warfighters. We can’t have the ‘oppressed’, pearl-clutching whiners running the military and destroying nations like Afghanistan. Thus, two orders came down to change the direction of the military led by the past administration.
One order came from the Pentagon, and one came directly from Secretary Hegseth.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent a memo to West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the U.S. Air Force Academy on Friday. The memo stated that all future admissions will be based solely on merit.
“The Department owes it to our nation, our Service Members, and our young Americans applying to the MSAs to ensure admissions to these prestigious institutions are based exclusively on merit,” Hegseth wrote in a memo to the academies.
Secretary of Defense Hegseth directed the service academies, such as West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, to admit candidates based solely on merit and other considerations. Other considerations include race, ethnicity, and sex.
He added that this would ensure that only the “most qualified candidates” would be admitted.
Another order came from the Pentagon.
The Pentagon is redirecting the military toward its mission. They ordered the removal of all grievance-industry (DEI, anti-racism, etc.) materials from their libraries.
The US military will only have the most qualified candidates.
Sec. Hegseth is fulfilling a promise to the American people. This is what I voted for.

No More Afghanistans. A strong, moral America.
HEGSETH: “If you’re a rifleman and you lose your rifle, they’re throwing the book at you. But if you’re a general who loses a war, you get a promotion.”
End the hearing. Hold the vote. Confirm Hegseth already. pic.twitter.com/6XlnJlI3PH— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) January 14, 2025

It still amazes me the Army had or maybe still has automatic promotions that allowed the deserter Bowe Bergdahl to get promoted from PFC to sergeant. You remember him. He got several true soldiers killed when they searched for him before they learned he was a deserter who abandoned his post. I believe that promotion was stripped from the deserter.
The chain of command cannot be made stronger by adding a few weak links.
But it can by REMOVING those liberal weak links…
