"No Military Full of Nordic Pagans for You – Hegseth’s Fight Against 'Woke' Culture in the Ranks

Hegseth used his keynote address to redefine the military’s culture and priorities, centralize and 'warrior ethos,' while casting 'wokeness' as the true enemy.

'We became ‘the woke department,’ ' the Defense Secretary declared. 'Not any more. We’re done with that shit.'

Hegseth claimed victory in purging the Pentagon of 'social justice, politically correct and toxic ideological garbage,' boasting: 'No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction or gender delusions, no more debris.'

(. . .)

Alongside a demand for leaner troops, Hegseth rolled out a controversial directive: combat standards would now be based solely on the 'highest male standard.'

Each service will ensure that every requirement for every combat [member of service] for every designated combat arms position returns to the highest male standard only,' he ordered.

In his remarks, Hegseth acknowledged the policy could sideline women. 'This is not about preventing women from serving. We very much value the impact of female troops. But when it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be high and gender-neutral. If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.'

The Defense Secretary’s comments drew muted reaction from commanders in the room, though outside observers warned the directive could sharply reduce women’s participation in combat roles.

'This administration has done a great deal from day one to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department, to rip out the politics,' Hegseth noted. 'No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction or gender delusions. No more debris.'

'No More Beards' nor, apparently, and Nordic Pagans

Hegseth closed with a blast at grooming standards, vowing to end what he described as an 'era of unprofessional appearance.'

'No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression,' he said. 'We’re going to cut our hair, shave our beards and adhere to standards. The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done. No more beardos.'

Acknowledging the existing exemption for Special Forces, he added: 'If you want a beard, you can join Special Forces. If not, then shave. We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans.'

Under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the military must show a compelling interest before restricting religious practice. Court cases over the past decade have affirmed exemptions for Sikhs, Jews, and others who maintain beards for religious reasons. In 2022, a federal court ruled in Singh v. Berger that Sikh recruits could not be denied entry to the Marine Corps on that basis.

How Hegseth’s 'no beardos' policy will affect existing accommodations remains unclear. A Pentagon memo issued Tuesday suggested requests would only be approved for 'non-deployable roles with low risk of chemical attack or firefighting requirements,' citing concerns about gas mask seals."

No Military Full of Nordic Pagans for You - Hegseth’s Fight Against “Woke” Culture in the Ranks

At a 90-minute rally-like gathering, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth outlined planned changes to the U.S. military, blasting “wokeness,” tightening combat standards for women, and vowing “no more beardos” or Nordic Pagans in the ranks.

The Wild Hunt

Europa als Armenhaus, Großbritannien als Slum – und ein Mord, der alles verändert.
In „Pagans – Ein Killer, zwei Cops, hunderte Götter“ verbindet James Alistair Henry Krimi, Alternativwelt und politische Aktualität.
Rezensent Carsten Kuhr: „Ein packender Plot, der zugleich Denkanstöße liefert.“

Joshua Zetumer Spec ‘Pagans’ Lands At Netflix With Straight-To-Series Order After Massive Bidding War

'Pagans', a supernatural drama spec by 'Say Nothing' creator Joshua Zetumer, has landed at Netflix with a straight-to-series order after a bidding war

Deadline
I'm glad that they mentioned Norse Heathenism in this article. The faith doesn't _require_ a beard. As there really are no hard and fast rules or requirements, but it does encourage it. That's why I have one. Don't do a long one because it's itchy, but I do have one. But aa waiver needs to be given to those who seek it. I know Hegseth wants pretty boys....but what's wrong with #norse #pagans with lovely beards and loose morals? Fuck if I know these days. #news #religion https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2025/09/15/troops-with-medical-shaving-waivers-to-face-separation-hegseth-says/
Troops with medical shaving waivers to face separation, Hegseth says

Under the new guidelines, troops granted a medical waiver must receive treatment and see the medical condition resolved within a year or face separation.

On September 13, just two days after the terrorist attacks, The #700Club hosts claimed that God smote America because of all the “ #Pagans, Abortionists, #Atheists, #Feminists, #Gays, and #Lesbians, the #ACLU, and #PeopleForTheAmericanWay”.
