Military academy admissions will be 'exclusively' merit-based, Hegseth says
"'Race, ethnicity, or sex' can NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED. Our officers will be the best of the best—full stop," he wrote on X.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that future military academy admissions will be 'exclusively' merit-based going forward.
"'Race, ethnicity, or sex' can NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED.
Our officers will be the best of the best—full stop," he wrote on X.
Hegseth posted the letter he sent Pentagon leaders about that topic.
