. @SecDef "When our standards are high, when the mission is clear when we prioritize war fighting over wokeness that energizes the young men and women of our country..."

The Pentagon’s focus must be lethality, not political theater. The EQUITY Act (H.R. 1543) proves the problem: Section 3 mandates gender identity accommodations while Section 2(b)(9) ties readiness to DEI metrics. Taxpayer dollars fund bureaucratic compliance officers instead of fighter jet maintenance crews. The F-35 fleet’s 25% mission-capable rate isn’t from “wokeness” — it’s from $1.2B wasted annually on Lockheed’s proprietary repair delays. Real readiness means cutting red tape, not scapegoating culture wars. Secure the border, fund hypersonics, and let warriors train for combat — not HR seminars.

@SecDef Please discharge the trans dude at our local base. He should not be getting training in a fighter jet. He is also very overweight.

@SecDef This is what we voted for.

Defend Freedom: Boldly declare your faith and American pride. Stand up, fight back, and protect our values!

@SecDef Call me old fashioned, but a grown man using taxpayer dollars to build his own personal make-up studio seems pretty woke to me. Is @SecDef nailing the right shade of blush what energizes warfighters these days?

@SecDef Stop. You need a tequila break and don’t signal chat anything.

@CynthiaAli95222 @SecDef Not dying for Israel

@SecDef When you end Woke you are no longer a Joke! Go for it Mr Secretary! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@SecDef Are standards the same for women as for men?

@SecDef Wake up!⏰️

@SecDef Blah blah blah. Not being able to take responsibility for your mistakes makes you the most beta male in the entire military complex.
