Official Preview: Pete Hegseth | Restoring the Warrior Ethos to the Trump Military

"When was the last time we actually went to war for our Freedom?"Our military has a cancer, and drastic actions must be taken to cure it.

In this episode of the Shawn Ryan Show, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth joins Shawn to unpack the pressing issues facing America’s veterans and active-duty service members. Hegseth highlights the bureaucratic failures within the VA, explaining how it often leaves veterans underserved and overburdened by red tape. He advocates for more privatized healthcare options and discusses the resistance to accountability within the system. The conversation also explores how political correctness and “woke” policies are impacting military effectiveness, eroding traditional standards, and demoralizing service members. Hegseth questions whether he would encourage his own children to serve in today’s military, given these concerns, offering an unfiltered and critical take on the evolving state of American defense and veteran care.

As a second Trump term becomes possible (or even likely), the literary world of military pundits is ablaze with articles, recommendations, and ideas on how to reform the Department of Defense (DoD) in a second Trump Administration. As a retired U.S. Army colonel, I am encouraged to see such thoughtful analyses and deeply hope a new Trump Administration takes heed of these many excellent recommendations. However, one area of concern for which I have seen little commentary is how to halt the deep institutional rot associated with what I call the “civilianization” of America’s military. The military forces of the United States of America exist first and foremost to kill the nation’s armed adversaries. Historically, this understanding has underpinned the “Warrior Ethos” that has made our military so great, but somewhere along the way, we lost this ethos in favor of a politicized, more civilian approach to warfare. I believe this is due to certain dysfunctional and deeply ingrained institutional processes and structures that must be fully and radically reformed in order to restore our military to one that defends the nation effectively and does not merely defend its own budget.

There are four fundamental areas for institutional reform, and all involve the “de-civilianization” of warrior institutions: https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/03/restoring-the-warrior-ethos-to-the-trump-military/
