'If You Can Keep It': Trump’s New Vision For The Military
President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth outlined some stark changes to the U.S. military’s policies and norms at last week’s gathering of its top brass.
From new standards that question the fitness of women in combat roles, to deploying the military to U.S. cities, the White House is outlining a new vision for the armed forces.
It’s also looking to eliminate existing channels to report abuse and harassment within the ranks and implement random polygraph tests.
We talk through all these changes, how they affect our troops, and what they mean for civilians.
