flag Trump and Hegseth announce using U.S. cities for military training, reject diversity policies, and demand loyalty, sparking bipartisan criticism.

flag President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed a surprise gathering of top U.S. military leaders at Quantico on September 30, 2025, announcing plans to use American cities as military training grounds and framing domestic unrest as an “invasion from within.” They pushed for a sweeping overhaul of military culture, rejecting what they called “woke” policies, gender-based fitness standards, and diversity initiatives, while advocating for male-level or gender-neutral benchmarks. flag Hegseth urged dissenting leaders to resign, and both emphasized a return to combat readiness over political correctness. flag The closed-door meeting, which summoned global military officials without public notice, drew criticism from lawmakers who warned of politicizing the military and undermining its nonpartisan role.
