B-Man Posted February 20 Posted February 20 PLENTY OF DEADWOOD TO BE CLEARED: Hegseth set to remove generals and senior officers – report. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly preparing to fire a whole host of generals and officers, particularly those who were close to his disgrace of a predecessor, Lloyd Austin. The generals and officers up for termination are on a list pieced together by top Pentagon officials and shared this week with congressional Republicans, according to NBC News. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/live-blog/live-updates-trump-lori-chavez-deremer-cpac-rcna192744#rcrd73369 https://thedailybs.com/2025/02/20/hegseth-set-to-remove-generals-and-senior-officers-report/ 1
B-Man Posted yesterday at 04:01 PM Posted yesterday at 04:01 PM GOOD: Pete Hegseth Drives the Stake Through Climate Change Driving Defense Policy. The Department of Defense is abandoning its nearly two decades-long focus on climate change as a national security issue. In a terse message to CNN, Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot said, “Climate zealotry and other woke chimeras of the Left are not part of that core mission." This is a major change for the Department of Defense that goes back at least five administrations. For reasons I've never really understood, the military has been vulnerable to environazis for decades. At Fort (Braxton) Bragg, large swaths of training area were put off limits because they were allegedly the nesting grounds of the then-endangered (it had a status upgrade in December) red-cockaded woodpecker. A freakin woodpecker. An acquaintance of mine was relieved of his command because one of his troops had pasted a picture of the bird on a target on a rifle range (the 1,000-inch range), and the wrong person happened onto the scene. If you're wondering why US Navy ships compare unfavorably to Soviet trawlers, circa 1980, in terms of rust, it is because the best paint is environmentally friendly. {snip} If climate change is real, it will be addressed at home and abroad by agencies not called the Department of Defense. When the Defense encounters it, it will come in the form of weather and terrain; how we got there will be an academic exercise. Secretary Hegseth is right; his focus has to be on training troops, structuring forces, modernizing equipment, and building warrior spirit to win wars, something Defense has gotten out of the habit of doing over the last 41 years. https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/03/09/pete-hegseth-drives-the-stake-through-climate-change-driving-defense-policy-n2186468 . 1
