President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Address Military Leaders at Quantico.

"Welcome to the Department of War".

"Preparing for war, and planning to win. Because we love peace.

"Our number one job is to be strong so we can prevent war in the first place.

"Those who deserve peace, are the ones who are willing to wage it.

"We owe our republic a military that will win any war.

"Any enemy will be crushed by the War Department.

"This is a moment of urgency. There is no times for games. We must prepare now.

"We must have good leaders, not perfect, but good, to lead in war.

"This speech is about fixing decades of decay.

"We are ending the war on warriors.

"We've promoted leaders for the wrong reasons. Foolish political leaders set the wrong direction.

"We created 'the woke department'. No more.

"We must do better. We must be honest, point out the obvious bad things right in front of us.

"No more dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. We are done with that shit.

"The War Department requires the next step - common sense is back.

"The litmus test is would I want my eldest son joining the formations we are building?

"Do unto your unit, as you would have done with your own child's unit. Where standards have been reduced? We must restore a ruthless common sense application of standards. No more females who can't meet the same standards as men, or obese, or not the best. Standards must be gender neutral and high.

"The era of feel good leadership ends right now.

"At my direction, each service will ensure that every combat arms position will be male only.

"New combat field test. It all starts with physical fitness and appearance.

"Completely unacceptable to see fat troops or fat generals.

"PT will be required of every unit every day.

"No more beards, long hair. No more beardos.

"Toxic leadership is not enforcing standars, it's not enforcing standards, promoting destructive ideologies.

"All force - immediate review of standards. Any place physical standards were altered, must be returned to original standard. Merit only.

"Any job that requires physical power will be gender neutral.

"We are ending the risk averse culture.

"Take this speech and run with it. These directives are designed to take the monkey off your back. The Commander-in-Chief has your back.

"We are making changes to adverse retention on personnel records. We need risk takers.

"Promotions across the force will be only based on merit.

"If I'm making your heart sink, then you should resign. No more ideologies.

"Basic training will be scary, tough, and difficult.

"Next war will not have a rear area.

"We fight because we love what's behind us...

"Go forth and do good and hard things..."

"Move out and draw fire"
