Defense Secretary's Culture War Targets Women In The Military
Biden-era defense spokesperson John Kirby has criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military leadership purge, arguing that it targets women in the military and undermines long-term national security. The purge has affected about 10% of the nation’s top military officers, with many women and minority officers being fired or blocked from promotion. Kirby’s comments come as the Pentagon faces criticism for its handling of diversity and inclusion, with some arguing that Hegseth’s actions are damaging the military’s morale and effectiveness.
