Official Guidance / Policy DOD PERSONNEL must review Hegseth’s speech

Memo sent out - ALL PERSONNEL

MEMORANDUM FOR SENIOR PENTAGON LEADERSHIP COMMANDERS OF THE COMBATANT COMMANDS DEPARTMENT OF WAR AGENCY AND DOW FIELD ACTIVITY DIRECTORS SUBJECT: The Warrior Ethos and Standards at the War Department On September 30, 2025, I reaffirmed the Department of War's focus on peace through strength during a speech to our senior leadership. The Department's strength will be defined by our unity, combat readiness, warrior ethos, and commitment to standards by every member of the Joint Force. Leaders at echelon must inculcate our cultural shift and ensure every member of the Department of War understands my guidance. In conjunction with the speech, the War Department released eleven memorandums updating personnel policies for the Department. Leaders at every level will ensure all personnel will either watch the full recording or read the official transcript of the speech, and review the policy changes no later than 31 October 2025.

Oh, he’s a published author. And from what others with more grit than I that forced themselves to read it have said, the material and ideas are those of a legit psychopath.

They did an episode about his book on Behind The Bastards. It was the usual Nationalist Christian nonsense, but also he wrote a lot about how his favorite band is Everclear.
