According to The Nation, Hegseth still has a job because of one man – President Trump.
The site explained how Hegseth wasn’t picked for the role of Defense Secretary due to any skills or experience, but because he shares a similar outlook as Trump on the military.
Just like the president, Hegseth believes the military has been compromised by the left-wing.
In late April, Hegseth put an end to a military program he described as “another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative.”
He wrote on X: “This morning, I proudly ENDED the ‘Women, Peace & Security’ (WPS) program inside the @DeptofDefense. WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING.
“WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it. DoD will hereby executive the minimum of WPS required by statute and fight to end the program for our next budget. GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!”
Following the signal scandal, Mike Waltz was effectively removed from his position as National Security Advisor (NSA) by President Trump – but Hegseth wasn’t stripped of his role.
While the world awaits more firings due to the scandal, Hegseth isn’t expected to be let go due to his friendship with the current president.
It’s all about cronies, not competence!
