The reason Trump tapped Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense is to clean up the military and get rid of all the woke junk that stands in the way of our soldiers doing what they are supposed to do.
So far, the objections to Hegseth have been utterly predictable and pretty much without merit.
The story below however, really puts it all into focus.
Just look at this. It’s from the Defense Department website:
DOD Dealing With Climate Change as a Security Concern for Africans
African nations see the effects of climate change daily with the desertification of the Sahel region, abnormally destructive storms, flooding and more. The average temperature in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa has increased each decade since 1971 and is expected to increase further. Djibouti, a country with a large U.S. military presence, is already one of the hottest countries on the planet.
“It’s an issue that our African colleagues raise to us repeatedly in almost every engagement we have overseas,” Farrell said.
The Defense Department is obviously aware of the problems caused by climate change and global warming, said Farrell. The U.S. military — not just the Marines — must be ready to operate in any “clime and place,” and American planners are working with African counterparts to learn new practices, techniques and procedures to operate in a changing climate.
“Our opportunities to engage in exchange overseas also help prepare U.S. strategic readiness and our interoperability with forces worldwide,” Farrell said. African nations have much to teach U.S. service members about operating in stressed environments.
Fighting climate change in Africa? How and when did this become part of our military’s mission?

This nonsense needs to stop.
We are going to lose our next war because some DEI’d up general wants to get their next promotion by relying on electric tanks because of the climate. https://t.co/G2uA07oMGU

This is why America needs Pete Hegseth at Defense. Because all of this must end.
