Combat Vet Reacts: Pete Hegseth's Plan to Make the US Military LETHAL Again

In this video, a 19-year Army Infantry combat veteran breaks down Pete Hegseth's recent speech to military leaders, where he laid out a new, hardline standard for the United States Armed Forces. We're diving deep into the plan to eliminate "woke" policies and DEI initiatives and return to the "old school" standards that build a lethal, deadly, and destructive military force.

Is this the change we need? Hegseth's call for a return to tougher basic training, higher standards, and a focus on "extreme speed and violence of action" is music to some ears and a warning to others. As a soldier who has seen combat and witnessed the decline in military readiness, I'm sharing my unfiltered thoughts on this massive shift in policy.

We'll discuss:

The end of DEI and "woke" policies in the military.
Bringing back strict, "old school" standards and accountability.
Why a feared and respected military is essential for peace.
A veteran's perspective on the quote: "Those who desire peace prepare for war."
The reduction in mandatory "death by PowerPoint" training.
This isn't just about politics; it's about national security and the future of the American warfighter. What are your thoughts on this new direction? Let me know in the comments below.
