(Press Release, 16 DEC 24) Over 120 retired Generals and Admirals have signed an open letter supporting Pete Hegseth’s nomination to be the next Secretary of Defense (SECDEF).
Pete Hegseth is the right person during these dynamic times to be the SECDEF. It is clear Pete loves our Country, our military, and the men and women who serve in our armed forces.
Moreover, he is a warrior who had a bright future in the private sector but he chose instead to join the military, serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan as an infantry officer.
He understands combat from the grass roots level and will take that much needed perspective with him as the next SECDEF.
Pete has studied, written about, and experienced the disastrous effects Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is having on our military and he is committed to expunging it from our armed forces.
His sole focus is on warfighting readiness, lethality, and accountability, all essential to enable our military to fulfill its mission—to fight and win our Nation’s wars.
Former President Trump had many talented people to consider in selecting his SECDEF nominee in order to implement his plans for the Department of Defense.
From those many people, he selected Pete Hegseth as the best qualified person he trusts to be the SECDEF. President Trump has the right and responsibility to select key people who are capable of fulfilling his promises to the American people.
Prominent in that mandate was making our military strong and lethal, to include removing what is called “wokeness” in the form of (DEI) from our armed forces.
He has selected Pete Hegseth to carry out that mandate and mission.
We, the undesigned retired generals and admirals, stand with President Trump in endorsing Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense.
