US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has slammed “fat generals” and diversity initiatives that he says has led to decades of decay in the military.
Mr Hegseth made the comments at a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday, local time.
“Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way,” Mr Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia.
“We became the ‘Woke Department’. But not anymore.”
