This is John Batchel, speaking with colleague General Blaine Holt, the United States Air Force, retired,

about the change of direction at the Pentagon, as evidenced so far of the speeches by the Secretary of Defense,

Secretary of War, Mr. Hexeth, and remarks by the President following.

A change in direction, having to be illustrated by a bake sale at the air show.

Here's Blaine to explain.

It's witty.

More of this tonight.

Yeah, there's going to be, I think there's going to be so many fights

because what Pete Hegseth started yesterday was a shift in culture that we have watched the military reflective of society, quite honestly, drift out of its warrior ethos and into every science project and fad vagary of the day, climate change, DEI, woke, Marxism,

whatever you want to call it, but at the base was a nepotistic promotion system that replaced

utter meritocracy. So being the best pilot in your squadron wasn't nearly as important as being

the angel of the squattered

commander's eye and maybe helping out with the bake sale and the air show.
