US EditionHegseth Orders End to Race Consideration in Admissions at Military Service Academies
- On May 9, 2025, the Pentagon directed all military leadership and units to remove and examine any library materials related to topics such as diversity, anti-racism, or gender by May 21.
- The order, issued by Timothy Dill in his capacity as acting defense undersecretary for personnel, builds on earlier initiatives associated with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s efforts to eliminate diversity and equity programs.
- A temporary committee formed by the department within Academic Libraries compiled a list of keywords such as affirmative action, critical race theory, gender identity, and white privilege to help identify books for review.
- The memo indicates that educational content endorsing controversial ideas and gender-related topics conflicts with the Department's fundamental goals, instructing leaders to swiftly locate and isolate such books by May 21.
- Additional guidance will be given on culling lists, deciding removals, and determining the ultimate disposition of books, but the memo does not specify what will happen to them.

Some Generals Should Be Fired. Start With Eric Smith. - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
Defense Secretary Hegseth recently did much to reform our bloated military hierarchy when he recently directed a 30 percent reduction in the number of four-star general and flag officers (GO/FOs) of which there are currently 38. He left the decision of which billets and FO/GOs to eliminate up to the services and the Joint Staff.
