US Defense Secretary Hegseth unveils militarization initiatives

Speaking at Quantico, Hegseth announced six defense projects. He dismissed 10% of generals and cut another 10% of posts to change military culture.

Project Meridian
A 120-day future war study is led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey (Anduril), and Newt Gingrich. None have military service; two are defense contractors.

Fortress America
Each US base must become autonomous with independent power, supply chains, and reserves of fuel, ammo, and blood. This mirrors lessons from the SVO.

Ideological Shift
Hegseth created a religious affairs office, stating "95% recognize Almighty God." The new officer corps draws from conservative universities like Hillsdale and Liberty, rejecting Ivy League institutions for promoting "woke" ideology over traditional values.
