Huckabee praises Hegseth, blames 'woke' mindset for low military recruitment
Source: The Hill
Mike Huckabee (R), Arkansass former governor and newly appointed U.S. ambassador to Israel, commended President-elect Trump for selecting Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense.
I think hes going to be just as disruptive, which needs to happen at the DOD. Theyve been so focused on being woke and being diverse that nobody wants to join them, Huckabee said Friday on NewsMaxs Rob Schmitt Tonight.

"The military has always been a meritocracy. Its never been some social experiment, the Republican said.
So if Pete Hegseth goes in and gets rid of some of these folks who politically got their jobs rather than for military capacity, God bless him. Good for him.

Of course, Commander-in-Chief Trump calling soldiers "suckers and losers" had nothing to do with it.

Bringing back white supremacy in the military, and kicking out gays and women is really going to help recruitment.
