"From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this, war fighting, preparing for war and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit,"
"They're very unsafe places, and we're going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That's a war too. It's a war from within. Controlling the physical territory of our border is essential to national security. We can't let these people in."
"a little bit threatened by Russia recently."
President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed hundreds of senior military leaders at Quantico, framing the Department of War mission around "peace through strength." Hegseth declared that the sole mission is warfighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win, while criticizing DEI and climate initiatives. Trump warned he would fire generals "on the spot" if displeased and cautioned against an "invasion from within." Trump cited National Guard deployments in Washington, D.C., proposed similar responses for crime in Democrat-led cities, described those efforts as a domestic war, and acknowledged positioning a nuclear submarine near Russia after feeling "a little bit threatened by Russia recently."
