DeSantis vows major military reforms if elected.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Promises to Revitalize the Military
During an appearance on Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) unveiled his plans to bring about significant changes to the military, with the aim of inspiring more individuals to enlist.
“It’s become a petri dish for social experimentation. They’re putting political fads over military readiness,” DeSantis expressed his concerns about the current state of the armed forces. “Morale is in the tank. Recruiting is at a generational low because people want to join a military that’s mission focused. They don’t want to join the military to be a cog in an overall social experiment.”
As an Iraq War veteran himself, DeSantis understands the importance of a military that prioritizes its core mission. He pledged to eliminate woke culture from the military on his first day as president, if elected. Additionally, he emphasized the need for a stronger stance against China, criticizing the perceived weakness of the Biden administration.
“There’s going to be major changes in all the armed services when I become president,” DeSantis confidently stated. “I can tell you this: Veterans around the country are going to rally to that, and you’re going to see people more willing to sign up for the military as a result of getting us focused back to the basics.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis is currently competing against a formidable lineup of candidates for the GOP presidential nomination, including President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, political commentator Larry Elder, businessman Perry Johnson, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. If successful, DeSantis would become the first president with a military background since George W. Bush.
