Episode notes
Return To Uniform Standards
- The administration argues the military must return to uniform, merit-based physical standards and daily PT to restore combat readiness.
- They claim past DEI and altered standards created institutional rot that requires leadership turnover to fix.
Enforce Regular PT And Grooming
- Implement twice-yearly PT tests and height/weight checks, and require PT every duty day across the joint force.
- Enforce grooming standards and restrict beards to special forces to maintain professionalism.
Culture Change Requires New Leaders
- Leadership turnover is framed as necessary because entrenched leaders helped create the problematic culture.
- The argument is that culture change requires new personnel rather than reshuffling existing leadership.
