. @SecDef “We are restoring the WARRIOR ETHOS… We will focus on readiness, training, warfighting, accountability, and standards. Black, white, male, female, it doesn't matter. We are going to be COLOR-BLIND and MERIT-BASED warfighters.”

@SecDef The people demand a photo with @SecDef and @TheBuddyCSM . I KNOW THEY ARE NEAR EACH OTHER AT BRAGG! 😂

No shortcuts, no excuses—just pure determination. 💥 Are you ready to see who has what it takes? #SurvivingMann #NoLimits #NavySEALs #AmericanSheriff #SpecOps #LawEnforcement #TacticalTraining

SecDef Hegseth’s push for a color-blind, merit-based military is long overdue. The Pentagon’s 8% budget cut targets bloated DEI bureaucracies and advisory committees that siphoned millions from warfighting priorities. Committees like DACOWITS spent years burning cash on ideological pet projects instead of troop readiness. Now every dollar must go to lethality, not equity consultants. Restoring the warrior ethos means ditching divisive quotas and refocusing on what wins wars: skill, discipline, and unit cohesion. Real reform starts by axing waste—not virtue-signaling to D.C. bureaucrats.

@SecDef “Merit-based” Warfighters, the same “Merit-based” standards do not apply to their civilian counterparts clearly.

@SecDef Proud to serve with you Mr. Secretary. Thanks for what you’re doing.

@SecDef 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙

True young Americans are tired of the WOKE ideology and having to accept its meaningless inclusion speeches, they want to belong to the most powerful and technologically developed army in the world, because the American people need their best children to be part of their defense system, young people full of talent and ambition to become the best Warfighters in the world, and the army must provide them with the most destructive and lethal training and weapons so that they become invincible Warfighters and the best in the world, so that the enemy feels terror just thinking about the destructive reprisals for attacking the great American nation.

@SecDef this guy is such a dork...cl

@SecDef "merit based" with the exception of your appointment to Sec of Defense, right?

@SecDef Color-blind warriors: ready to fight anyone.
