President Donald Trump delivered a rambling address to the U.S. military’s top generals and admirals in Quantico, Virgina, on Tuesday morning, dwelling on everything from the quality of the writing paper he uses in the Oval Office to nuclear submarines, the Nobel Peace Prize and Joe Biden.
His remarks followed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth offering a sermon of his own on the importance of maintaining a “warrior ethos” in which he railed against DEI culture and “woke” values in the Pentagon, berated troops for being overweight, bearded or having long hair and warned America’s enemies: “F*** around and find out.”
