The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, is providing an update on the US military at his second “State of the Force” address, in Quantico, Virginia, one year after he berated “fat troops” and condemned the military’s “woke” policies.

Addressing lower-ranking troops at the Marine Corps Base, Hegseth began his announcements by again boasting about his anti-diversity policies.

“The only focus, as you know, in your formations should be training, readiness, accountability, discipline, and lethality,” Hegseth said. “And when you pursue those things, you don’t have to walk on eggshells … the complainers, the ideologues, and the poor performers are no longer in the driver’s seat.”

The defense secretary added: “But it’s worth saying again, so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that: no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors,” Hegseth said.
