Addressing the room full of the #US’ top #generals & #admirals, summoned from around the world w/o explanation last week, #Hegseth defended his #firings of #FlagOfficers, which include the top US general, a #Black man, & the #Navy's top admiral, a #woman.

He said the officers he relieved were part of a “broken culture”.

#Trump & #PeteHegseth #military address🤬🧵

#Hegseth promised sweeping changes to how #discrimination complaints are handled & how accusations of #wrongdoing [#WarCrimes, #rape, etc] are investigated at the #Pentagon, saying the current system has top brass walking on "egg shells."

"If the words I'm speaking today are making your hearts sink, then you should do the honorable thing & resign," Hegseth said.

"I know the overwhelming majority of you feel the opposite. These words make your hearts full."

#PeteHegseth slammed "#FatGenerals". He criticized the look of overweight troops, saying: "It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals & admirals in the halls of the #Pentagon."

He said ALL fitness tests would be set to #male benchmarks only [meaning #women will be required to pass those tests] & emphasized the importance of grooming standards.

"The era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos," Hegseth told the audience, which sat in silence.
