Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just issued a blunt new directive to the U.S. military—and it’s already sending shockwaves through the Pentagon. The message is clear: the era of woke ideology in the armed forces is over.

Under the new policy, active-duty service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria have 30 days to voluntarily separate from the military. Members of the Reserve and National Guard get 60 days. After that deadline passes, involuntary discharges begin. No exceptions, no delays.

Pete Hegseth’s move comes as part of a larger effort to restore focus, discipline, and combat readiness to the military ranks—without the distractions of identity politics. Backed by a recent Supreme Court ruling and President Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, this policy marks a full reset in military standards. And it’s not just a shift in tone—it’s a hard line in the sand.
