 Hegseth Calls On US Generals To Unleash ‘overwhelming Violence’ Against Enemies, Ignore Rules Of Engagement

President Trump claimed the US is fighting a ‘war from within’ against undocumented immigrants

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called on 30 September for an end to “politically correct rules of engagement” in a speech delivered in front of hundreds of top commanders gathered from across the world.

“We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy,” Hegseth declared. “We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement.”

In recent months, the US Air Force has targeted three separate boats in the Caribbean, killing 17 people, based on the claim that the boats were trafficking drugs. The White House has also issued threats against Venezuela, claiming without evidence that President Nicolas Maduro heads a drug cartel.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) stated the attacks amounted to “unlawful extrajudicial killings.”

Hegseth also called for an end to “woke” culture in the military during the speech.

“The era of politically correct, overly sensitive, don’t-hurt-anyone’s-feelings leadership ends right now,” Hegseth stated while speaking at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia.

Hegseth called for “no more division, distraction, or gender delusions,” saying the administration of former US president Joe Biden’s efforts to promote diversity and LGBTQ inclusion in the military had led to lower standards of excellence among military personnel.

“No more identity months, no more DEI garbage, dudes in dresses, no more climate change worship, no more division, distraction, or gender delusions, no more debris,” he stated.

…US President Donald Trump also spoke to the gathering of some 800 admirals and generals, saying that the military was battling an invasion of undocumented immigrants and that US cities would become training grounds for US troops, which are typically only deployed abroad.

“America is under invasion from within. We’re under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways, because they don’t wear uniforms,” Trump claimed.

The US president added that he told Hegseth, “We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.”

“If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room,” Trump joked. “Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.”

…“As Trump spoke, several officers sat looking expressionless, and the room was far quieter than the crowds at Trump’s usual gatherings. A naval officer took note,” Reuters observed.
