Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has defended the move, arguing that DEI initiatives undermine military cohesion and operational effectiveness.

Isn't Hegseth himself a DEI hire?

I mean he's just a weekend TV show host with zero competence or merit for the job he was handed.

I hear he's a DUI hire. An added layer to the second trump administration is that they only hire COMPLETELY unqualified candidates. I'm pretty sure DEI hires are required to be competent.

Your both close. Hes a diversity, inclusion and equity hire.
