Exclusion will be the norm in the military Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump want

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : This is what I kept thinking: His underlings would face dishonorable discharge for even a fraction of the misconduct he has been accused of, yet he seeks the highest post in the Department of Defense.
50% : "Such ignorance of a cornerstone of the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy is inexcusable for a prospective secretary of Defense.
49% : This narrow and bellicose vision of defense policy is not only dangerous but also fundamentally misaligned with the multifaceted responsibilities of the Department of Defense.
48% : Programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion were dismissed by Hegseth and his GOP backers as "woke."
46% : As Warren aptly noted, the secretary of Defense must be a diplomat, a leader, and a peacemaker, not merely a "warrior."
33% : My guess is this: Excluding Black people, queers, and women allows more extremists and racists to enter to give Trump and Hegseth the military they want.
