A mentally healthy man doesn't talk like this to the military leaders of the US. And they let him know it. 

And Hegseth; what a clown. Why does he think that women, gays and others can't do military duty? This whole anti-woke thing is just real bullshit. But it's typical Trump

By trying to rid the military of gays and others, he's showing comfort with making such people second class citizens. 

And just for fun, demanding that military people don't have beards is a direct knock at Blacks. Major league baseball settled this issue decades ago, when a Black player sued and won. It wasn't a religious issue; it was medical. Men with very curly beards often get ingrown hairs and infections. Wonk alert; it's called pseudofolliculitis barbi. So beards became allowed in MLB. The military will need to do the same or face legal action. 

But the racism is obvious, along with all the other "anti-other". 

The US military needs to be better than this. And none of that makes it less capable. Ask the Israelis. Ask their foes.
