War: Last News

Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, appears to have done a u-turn regarding gay people in the military.The former Fox News pundit has previously made it clear he regrets the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’. Here’s a clip of him in 2015 saying that ditching DADT, and allowing women to serve in frontline military roles, was an exercise in “social engineering” that is “going to inevitably start eroding standards.”Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to lead the military, complained about changes to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, a policy that banned gay troops from serving openly.

According to CNN this week, as recently as this summer, Hegseth was still raging against the end of DADT.In his 2024 book, “The War on Warriors”, Hegseth said he saw the original “don’t ask, don’t tell” (DADT) policy and its repeal in 2011 as a “gateway” and a “camouflage” for broader cultural changes that have undermined military cohesion and effectiveness.

He has pointed to it then allowing trans people to openly serve.He repeated similar claims while making media appearances for his book. Appearing on The Ben Shapiro Show in June, Hegseth said repealing DADT was part of a “Marxist” and leftist” “gateway” shift towards individualism, as opposed to unit cohesion.“At least when [the Army’s advertising and recruiting slogan] was an ‘Army of One’ [between 2001 and 2006] they were, you know, tough looking, go get ‘em army – but … that was the subtle shifting toward an individual ad campaign,” he said.

“Now [since the repeal of DADT,] you just have the absurdity of ‘I have two mommies and I’m so proud to show them that I can wear the uniform too.’ So they, it’s just like everything else the Marxists and the leftists have done. At first, it was camouflaged nicely and now they’re just, they’re just open
