国防部长赫格塞斯对军事领导人的讲话引发批评
摘要
国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯最近对高级军事指挥官的讲话因其语气和内容受到退伍军人及军事官员的批评。
国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯近日在弗吉尼亚州海军陆战队昆蒂科基地向800多名高级军事指挥官发表讲话，重点涉及体能标准、杀伤力学说以及多样性、公平与包容（DEI）倡议。此番讲话引发了退伍军人和军事官员的批评。
退伍军人兼Common Defense政策主管纳维德·沙表示，对此次集会的必要性和时机表示担忧，他说：“当然，向部队发表讲话可能有用或有益，但在政府即将关闭之际召集来自全球的800多名将军和高级士官顾问到场？这不仅仅是形象或战略上的失误。”
退役陆军将军达娜·皮塔德形容这次讲话“侮辱性强”且“自负”，特别反对赫格塞斯声称有色高级军官因不存在的配额制度而受益的说法。
赫格塞斯强调体能标准，包括恢复“最高男性标准”用于战斗岗位，也遭到批评。退役海军战斗机飞行员艾米·麦格拉斯指出：“从未有过男女分开标准。当女性进入战斗岗位时，设定了统一标准，我们一直在达到这一标准。你要么能胜任这份工作，要么不能，仅此而已。”
这次讲话引发了关于军事文化和领导力的更广泛讨论，一些人认为该讲话偏离了传统军事价值观，是对武装力量的不必要政治化。

It's not just bad optics or strategy.'
