NEWS AND ANALYSIS:


President-elect Donald Trump is wasting no time targeting “wokeness” in the U.S. military, vowing in a recent video statement there will be “no Marxism, no communism” in the ranks.

Mr. Trump announced Tuesday that he has selected Fox News host Pete Hegseth, an Army veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as his defense secretary.

The pick rounds out a series of conservative selections for key national security posts, including Rep. Mike Waltz of Florida as White House national security adviser, Sen. Marco Rubio, also of Florida, as secretary of state and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as secretary of homeland security.

Mr. Hegseth wrote in his recent bestselling book, “The War on Warriors,” that “woke” ideology in the military is to blame for the recruiting shortfalls facing the armed services in recent years.
