US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has pledged to overhaul the Pentagon's approach to military preparedness, criticising what he called the influence of political correctness on the armed forces. Addressing an unprecedented assembly of over 800 generals and admirals at a US Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, Hegseth outlined plans to restore "old school" military standards, including stricter grooming policies, rigorous fitness requirements, and the revival of practices like hazing. The event, also attended by President Donald Trump, drew criticism for its cost, logistical challenges, and potential security risks. President Trump has expanded the military's role in domestic operations, deploying National Guard troops to address crime in major cities and proposing their use in Portland, Oregon. Critics fear the increased militarisation of domestic security could set a controversial precedent. The gathering highlighted broader debates about the balance between discipline and modernisation within the US armed forces. Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Washington, DC.
