Quote:Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared Tuesday that he had begun to shutter a Pentagon program meant to advance women’s participation in peace-building and conflict prevention, which was created by a law written by GOP lawmakers and signed by President Trump during his first term.
“This morning, I proudly ENDED the ‘Women, Peace & Security’ (WPS) program inside the [Defense Department],” Hegseth wrote in a post on the social platform X.
He said the program was “yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING.”
I hate these morons so much. Every day another reason to lose faith in humanity and the USA in particular. Also fuck "war fighting" as our "core task". It's a Defense Department not an Offense Department. (Although they are pretty fucking offensive to humanity on all fronts.)
