In a post on the social platform X, Hegseth called the “Women, Peace & Security” program at the Defense Department “a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it.”

    Istg dude hearing or seeing the term “woke” triggers a winter soldier response in my brain. Decades from now when this over im gonna casually overhear someone saying a phrase with the word woke in it and I’m just gonna hit them with the Bucky stare.

    Countdown until Krasnov EOs it to be revoked, forgetting he was the one who signed it into law? Would not surprise me one iota.
