Today, @SECWAR reinstated Brigadier General Melissa Cunningham. She was forced to retire after declining the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. We will not stop righting the wrongs of the Biden administration.

And you — @CNN — fall for it over and over. Because you hate the President more than you love the country (and our troops).
Iranian operatives used OpenAI models and fake personas to help plant news articles critical of the US war against Iran in multiple US media outlets, OpenAI said. cnn.it/4hCyA1m

Justice.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack. The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.

I am directing all commanders and supervisors at every level to conduct a one-day stand-down in the month of October. Every warrior will be given the opportunity to vote.

Today, @SECWAR laid out a bold vision for the future of our military. This includes a new Autonomous Warfare Command, Project Meridian, FORTRESS America, the Next Great American Base, America’s Corps of Cadets, and the Office of Religious Affairs. A new era for the Department of War—FOR THE WARFIGHTER.

This is DISGUSTING and FAKE. A complete LIE. Shame on the Washington Post — they’re worse than Iranian state media.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It was in fact not a lie x.com/washingtonpost…

Today, at the Pentagon, we unfurled the American flag in solemn remembrance of the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later, their memory remains with us. We will never forget.

The @DeptofWar has never had a better Deputy Secretary than Steve Feinberg. Stories like these are COMPLETELY false. Outside forces (i.e. companies he is pressing for results!) want Steve gone because he is so effective in advancing @POTUS’ agenda. His leadership is HISTORIC.

It’s simple: if Iran shoots at U.S. ships, we will destroy (and sink) their oil tankers. All they have to do is not shoot at @USNavy. Iran’s oil tanker fleet is defenseless — Iran has no navy or air force. Our planes, ships & subs can strike them all, in @CENTCOM & @USPACOM.
“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost —taking out three of yours. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet.” — Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander.

Senior officers deserve the best possible education: effective, unbiased & laser-focused on our core warfighting mission. 🇺🇸 @SecWar directed a Senior Service College Task Force to conduct a comprehensive review of @DeptofWar SSCs. Its mandate: ensure these institutions are anchored in military history, strategy, high standards, meritocracy & overall excellence. That review is now complete. Special thanks to @RobManess, @KurtSchlichter & Tom Anderson for answering the call to serve on this Task Force. Led by Dr. Maurice L. Todd—ASW(R), PhD, MA, MS & top 5% West Point graduate—they delivered critical recommendations to strengthen our SSCs & prepare our military leaders to achieve peace through strength.
