“The Pentagon has ramped up a political correctness crusade in the wake of the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. The military is taking disciplinary action against both enlisted troops and officers over social media posts regarding Kirk, who was shot last week at an event at Utah Valley University. … The secretary of war’s office refused to say if they knew the total number of service members who had been swept up in the crackdown. But one defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said dozens of personnel had or will face sanctions in the face of pressure by Hegseth, who knew Kirk personally.” (09/17/25)
