U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a rare meeting of the most senior military leadership in the U.S. that they must "prepare for war", APA reports citing newsweek.com.
"From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: Warfighting," Hegseth said in his speech, referring to the name now used by the Trump administration for the Department of Defense.
"Preparing for war and preparing to win. Unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war. No one here wants war. But it's because we love peace."
In the same speech, Hegseth told senior military leaders that he no longer wants to see “fat generals and admirals” or overweight troops in combat units.
“It’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon leading commands around the country, in the world, it’s a bad look,” Hegseth said.
