On a crisp Tuesday at a Marine Corps base in Virginia, President Trump declared he’d fire any generals he disliked 'on the spot,' because who needs tenure when you have Twitter-grade instincts? Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth championed a "less woke" military, proving diversity quotas and historic 'firsts' are the Real Enemy—probably alongside paper clips and bad uniforms. Hegseth also announced new rules redefining 'toxic leadership' to protect bosses from getting dinged for, well, bullying and hazing, so now you can tyrannize fearlessly! If this made your heart sink, Hegseth advised an honorable exit, because apparently feelings are disqualifying in this new MAGA bootcamp. Trump capped it off telling generals to chill or kiss their rank goodbye, producing awkward laughs and existential dread in equal measure.
