"President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces and spoke of needing U.S. military might to combat what he called the "invasion from within." Addressing an audience of military brass abruptly summoned to Virginia, Trump outlined a muscular and at times norm-shattering view of the military's role in domestic affairs. He was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who declared an end to "woke" culture."
""We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military," Trump said. He noted at another point: "We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don't wear uniforms." Hegseth called hundreds of military leaders and their top advisers from around the world to the Marine Corps base in Quantico without publicly revealing the reason."
President Donald Trump proposed using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces and said U.S. military might was needed to combat an 'invasion from within.' He described the internal threat as no different from a foreign enemy but more difficult because perpetrators do not wear uniforms. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of military leaders to Quantico, decried 'woke' policies, and announced new directives including 'gender-neutral' or 'male-level' physical fitness standards. Hegseth urged officers who oppose the changes to resign. The administration sought to reshape Pentagon culture and to enlist military resources for domestic priorities such as quelling unrest and violent crime.
