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.

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