QUANTICO, Va.—About 730 U.S. military generals, admirals, and senior enlisted troops attended a historic gathering at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia on Sept. 30 to hear President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth convey a shift in military culture under Trump’s leadership.
Throughout their remarks, Trump and Hegseth emphasized a desire to do away with the “woke” social and cultural trends of recent years, criticized the direction of the military under previous leaders, and invited those in attendance who disagreed to make their objections known and resign.
