The military's primary purpose is to be a lethal fighting force, and it should not be utilized for social engineering or identity politics.

“The military is designed to go break things and do bad things in the night that need to be done to keep all of us safe”

The military's focus on inclusivity and pronouns is detrimental to its operational effectiveness and mission.

“Your job in the military is not to create a comfortable space for a diversity inclusion seminar. Your job is to make the other guy's space, pardon me, as uncomfortable as possible.”

The host believes that re-enforcing physical fitness standards in the military is an effective way to purge personnel with leftist political ideologies from the ranks.

“There's studies showing people who are fit are more likely to be rightwing. So this is probably a nice little covert wink wink type of way to be like, "Okay, we want to make sure that the military is more right-wing. You got to be in shape in order to do that."”

Women should not serve in combat roles because they are not physically or psychologically equipped for them and their presence necessitates lowering fitness standards.

“A functional society does not send women out to die on the battlefield. They're not equipped for it physically or psychologically. It's not what women are meant to do.”

The military should not follow unlawful orders and those who issue or execute them, including the commander-in-chief, are potentially war criminals.

“If you follow an unlawful order and you are involved in a war crime at any level of the chain of command, you are a war criminal who will need to sit one day before war criminal tribunals.”

He expresses deep concern that military leaders are failing to uphold their oaths by complying with illegal orders from the administration.

“I am not seeing the moral courage I would expect from the United States military's leaders at this moment and I'm certainly not seeing any courage from the United States Congress.”

The administration's lethal strike against survivors of a destroyed boat was an act of murder rather than a legitimate act of self-defense.

“This is not a lawful war. There is there is no justification. There is no congressional authorization. There is no evidence. It is just murder.”

The lethal military strikes in Venezuela are extrajudicial killings that lack justification or evidence.

“The question for us is you know why is it that we have a president who claims to want to stop the flow of narcotics into this country is engaging in what appears to be extrajudicial killings.”

The current military justice and administrative systems for investigations are often manipulative, lack integrity, and are used to reach predetermined outcomes.

“the Navy decided no we don't like that narrative we didn't like that investigation that said drugs were contributing factor so that's when from the top the Direction came to change the investigation then start a new investigation based upon those changes with a presupposition that drugs had nothing ”

The recent changes to military policy, including the rebranding of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, represent a dangerous and totalitarian shift.

“But why don't we start with Pete Hegsth who is doubling down on his totalitarian approach as the department of uh the leader of the department of war which he has you know renamed.”

Hutch expresses deep concern over the shift in government terminology from Department of Defense to Department of War.

“I did some research to see how everybody feels about the word war right now and the fact that we just changed our department of defense to the department of war. You know what I mean? That's a that's a phrasing that I don't understand.”

Promoting diversity within the military is essential because an all-volunteer force should reflect the diverse society it serves.

“We were taught military science 101 that an all-volunteer force is a direct reflection of the society it represents. That's literally a phrase I remember from my very first semester at West Point.”

Diversity in the military is a reality that should be embraced as a strength, not attacked.

“diversity is our strength. I agree with Secretary Hegseth. We are one nation under God, but we are a diverse nation. That is just reality.”
