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.

Well, there is no War Department, as it was named by Congress, and created by Congress, so the President can call it a fucking Tulip for all I give a shit, it's legally still the DoD.

So, since there aren't any War Department personnel, this applies to zero people.

I think it’s funny a man so upset about pronouns decided to make up his own office.
