“I’m wondering from your perspective, a few weeks ago, the secretary of defense and the president of the United States assembled combat leaders from all across the globe to Washington for a lecture period where they were told some of them were too fat, some of them were too lazy, some of them weren't in shape and as you enlarge the photo that was on the front pages of the Times and the Wall Street Journal and many of the papers in this country, you see hundreds of Silver Star recipients, hundreds of Bronze Star recipients, hundreds of men wearing CIBs – combat infantry badges. And I'm wondering what you thought when you heard and listened to that performance by the secretary of defense and the audience that participated in it?,” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby during a Morning Joe conversation about President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth having hastily gathered hundreds of top U.S. military leaders from around the world to the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, to outline their vision of a "warrior" culture for the military, emphasizing merit, strength, and an end to "politically correct" and "woke" policies. Listen to Kirby’s concerns about this administration’s efforts to “politicize the military” as he transitions from a long career in government to become the newly appointed Director of the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics.
