Pete Hegseth Ends “Woke” Military Program...

...Created by Trump

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday bragged about ending a military program he described as “yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative.”

But that initiative—the Women, Peace & Security program—was started by the Trump administration in 2017 after he signed a bipartisan bill authored by Kristi Noem and Jan Schakowsky. The measure was also supported at the time by Mike Waltz and Marco Rubio. Three of those four people named now work at the highest levels of the Trump administration.

Clowns. All of them.

Isn't that a bit early to be hitting the sauce, even for a pro like him? Or is he still drunk from last night?

More proof that either Donald Trump is a dementia suffering Democrat rebranded as a Republican or that the American people are too caught up in the Trump Cult to see Donald Trump is a dementia suffering Democrat rebranded as a Republican.

Or.... there is window number four that allows you to see the link to the actual facts

The U.S. Strategy and National Action Plan on WPS was released on October 31, 2023. The launch coincided with the celebration of the 23rd anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, the landmark resolution on WPS (2000). As the first country to adopt a comprehensive law on WPS (Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017), the United States is committed to upholding UNSCR 1325’s premise that the core WPS principles of women’s participation and protection are critical for effective conflict prevention and resolution, for peacebuilding, and for peacekeeping efforts.

The 2023 Strategy builds on prior U.S. commitments to advance women’s safety and meaningful participation in peace, political, and security decision-making processes. This Strategy further supports the Administration’s historic advances in strengthening women’s meaningful participation in national security, defense, and political leadership—at home and abroad.

In other words - the ACTION Plan was released AFTER the 2017 Act was in place.

What did the plan add?

This Strategy and NAP is structured under five Lines of Effort (LOEs):

LOE 1: Participation – Seek and Support the preparation and meaningful participation of women and girls in all their diversity in civic and political leadership, in informal and formal decision-making processes, and in institutions related to peace and security.
LOE 2: Protection – Promote the protection of human rights for all people, bearing in mind gender, and prevent and respond to all forms of gender-based violence in conflict and crisis contexts, including conflict-related sexual violence.
LOE 3: Relief, Response, and Recovery – Prioritize the integration of gender-responsive policies and programs to support the safety, participation, and leadership of women and girls in U.S. government responses to conflict, crises, and disasters; reinforce women’s agency and decision-making at every-level of relief, response, and recovery efforts; and provide safe, equitable access to humanitarian assistance.
LOE 4: Integration and Institutionalization – Integrate WPS principles across U.S. policies and programming to strengthen the institutionalization of comprehensive gender analyses and improve gender equality outcomes.
LOE 5: Partnerships – Encourage partners to mainstream WPS principles across policies and strategies and strengthen capacity to improve gender equality in processes and institutions connected to peace and security decision-making.

It's so important to actually look at the information, so you know you are not being lied to - Defense Secretary Hegseth, who is still in office, ended this woke action plan.

Read - inform yourself - don't fall for anything because some website says so.

Oh give it a rest, the law is the WOMEN, Peace, and Security Act.

It's got women and gender and gender equality all over the place. Many of the phrases are the very ones you reddened for emphasis.

Give it a rest?

What is the difference between the Act passed in 2017. And the program instituted in 2023?

Better yet….

Show me where a Cabinet member can negates law?

They can’t. But they can end a program

Why don’t you tell us what the difference is? You can start by describing how your link to a page on the State Dept site pertains to something implemented by the DOD.

Judging by the way things are described in your own link, it appears as if the 2017 law kicked off a number of initiatives that were developed and refined over the next several years. The 2023 page you linked to is broadly similar to the 2019 version it links to in the references:

They can't. That's why so many judges are stopping the Trump Administration from negating laws.

Still bothers you, aye. There are probably a lot more parents of the young liberals today who fit into this category.

Both sound the same, but the one common theme is "gender". The difference between the two is the definition of gender depending on the party.

Yeah, it sounds like later iterations expanded the language to be more overtly inclusive of trans folks, but the general thrust of it was the same.

I have no problems with people changing political parties. My problem is with politicians changing party affiliation in order to be elected then rebranding the party to a personality cult. Reagan switched parties but behaved like and embraced what the Republican party once stood for.

It seems clear to me Trump is fully embodying what the Republican party has, at its core, stood for for 30+ years: a naked pursuit of power. What's changed is that he finally cracked the facade they built that convinced people (including themselves) that they were interested in policies or outcomes.

And Trump copied Reagan's "Let's Make America Great Again". The media got him elected and made him into a cult like figure and placed Republicans who supported him into the cult, just to keep the drumbeat going. It will be interesting to see what the media will come up with once he's gone; they'll probably tie every Republican from here on out as MAGA if their policies even remotely resemble Trump's, since MAGA is a curse word to liberals.

In 2023 - while Biden was President - not Trump How does it pertain? it is the SAME Act you are castigating Trump for - same name - same identifier. That is how it pertains to it.

Right similar to - but NOT the Act passed in 2017 - that is the point that is so very inconvenient to your accusation

Pete Hegseth (who is still there), is not being challenged for changing the ACT - why? Because he didn't - he ended the program passed in 2023 that amplified DEI policies. See the mocking posts in the beginning of this thread have fallen completely apart when you realize the truth.

IMHO - the only thing that resembles clowns are the ones who swallowed the misinformation from the Republic article and the one who did not do any research into it.
