US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared on Tuesday an end to "woke" culture in the military before hundreds of the country's top military officials summoned to Virginia from around the world at the last minute.
Hegseth announced new directives for troops that include "gender-neutral" or "male-level" standards for physical fitness, while Trump bragged about US nuclear capabilities and criticised the military leaders' previous commander-in-chief Joe Biden.
