(WND)—Service members are understandably pleased with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s commitment to make America’s military a strong and lethal force once again – but according to some, a few bad actors within the force are undermining his efforts.
WorldNetDaily spoke to Dr. Chase Spears, a retired U.S. Army public affairs officer, writer and host of the Finding Your Spine podcast. “There have been some notable restorative changes in the Defense Department under Pete Hegseth’s tenure,” noted Spears. “But constitutionally minded friends and colleagues of mine still in the force tell me that fear of defending truth remains palpable in the ranks.”
For example, said Spears: “One shared candidly that a left-wing supervisor is openly contemptuous toward the new secretary,” noting that he could not remember observing a single similar instance during his 20-year career.
Then Spears widened his scope to describe the larger military “deep state” view of President Donald Trump, Hegseth and the rest of the Trump team: “The defense complex views this as a war and is determined to wait the Trump Administration out.” In fact, he added, “Many of the senior officers charged to carry out Hegseth’s orders were promoted for their fidelity to leftist ideology.” For Spears, “Trusting generals and colonels who created these problems to help clean them up is unwise at best. It’s past time to send the majority of them on their way.”
