Former Military PR Officer Warns of Strong Leftist Opposition to Hegseth Within DOD
by
A former military PR officer-turned-podcaster has warned of a deep-rooted leftist resistance movement within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
Dr. Chase Spears told World Net Daily (WND) that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has many enemies in the DOD.
According to Spears, those operatives were promoted due to their leftist ideology and plan to wait out the Trump administration.
“There have been some notable restorative changes in the Defense Department under Pete Hegseth’s tenure,” Dr. Chase Spears said.
“But constitutionally minded friends and colleagues of mine still in the force tell me that fear of defending truth remains palpable in the ranks.”
As an example, Spears said:
“One shared candidly that a left-wing supervisor is openly contemptuous toward the new secretary.”
Spears said he had not encountered anything like it in his 20-year military career.
“The defense complex views this as a war and is determined to wait the Trump Administration out,” Spears characterized the DOD.
“Many of the senior officers charged to carry out Hegseth’s orders were promoted for their fidelity to leftist ideology,” he warned.
Spears said he didn’t think there was any viable way forward without replacing these leftist officials.
“Trusting generals and colonels who created these problems to help clean them up is unwise at best,” Spears said.
“It’s past time to send the majority of them on their way.”
