He said no more \u201cdudes in dresses,\u201d but the only two dudes on that stage wearing makeup were him, with his face fully beat, and another man glowing orange like a custom blend from Maybelline or L\u2019Or\u00e9al.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the new warrior standard is defined by a W.E.I. (White, Entitled, Inept) physical benchmark, then every woman who can do more pullups than Hegseth (two) or Trump (which I\u2019d bet is zero) is Combat Ready+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Credit to attorney and advocate Lurie Daniel-Favors, who coined the term W.E.I. \u2014 White, Entitled, Inept \u2014 the most accurate descriptor of what has long been sold to America as \u201cmerit-based leadership.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officers flown into Quantico from every corner of the globe sat stone-faced while two men without a single star between them declared that American cities are now the new training ground for war. Trump \u2014 who has never worn a uniform of any kind \u2014 told lifelong service members that if they didn\u2019t like what he was saying, they could leave. They should\u2019ve done what the U.N. delegates did when Netanyahu opened his mouth \u2014 stand up and walk. Out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you can now be decommissioned for razor bumps, gender identity, or sexual orientation, while the biggest W.E.I. hire in modern history stands on stage saying, <em>\u201cThat shit is over,\u201d<\/em> maybe it\u2019s time to admit what\u2019s really happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t about restoring discipline.<br>It\u2019s about restoring whiteness as the unchallenged chain of command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But let\u2019s run their fantasy through the math.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the new military is to be purified of all but the W.E.I. elect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nearly 50% of enlisted troops would be gone overnight \u2014 because they are women or minorities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roughly 35% of lower-ranking officers would disappear \u2014 also women or minorities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And here\u2019s the kicker: only 15\u201318% of generals and admirals are minorities today, meaning the top brass is already over 80% W.E.I. certified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not a meritocracy.<br>That\u2019s government-funded affirmative action for mediocrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The new W.E.I.
