Sept. 30 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke before a gathering of top military brass in Quantico, Va., brought in from around the world Tuesday.
Trump, after lamenting that the room was so quiet when he walked in, told the meeting of top military leaders, "If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, OK?"
Hegseth told the military officers that they had gone soft and that reforms would overhaul the Department of Defense inspector general and equal opportunity programs.
"I call it the 'no more walking on eggshells' policy," he said. "We are liberating commanders and NCOs. We are liberating you."
