The US Defense Secretary is under fire for allegedly prioritizing culture wars over national security, amid escalating tensions with Iran and growing internal Pentagon dissent. Accusations include mishandling military readiness, blocking promotions, and sidelining women and minorities in leadership roles — all while civilian casualties mount and troops face prolonged deployments. Retired generals call him a “clear and present danger,” and a Republican senator demands his removal, labeling his leadership “inept.” With whispers of a 2028 presidential run, critics say his focus on controversial cadet policies distracts from urgent global threats — leaving the military’s future and America’s global standing in serious doubt.
