Show Notes
<p>Pete Hegseth has declared war on 'fat generals' and DEI in the US army - but why have standards slipped? Chris Caldwell joins Freddy Gray to discuss why the current administration feels so passionately about forcing a 'major cultural shift' in the military, plus the legacies of Bill Clinton's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy and Joe Biden's acceptance of transgender troops. They also talk about the differences between America's 'Marshal spirit' and British 'obsession' with World War Two, and why one country is more deferential to their veterans than the other.</p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
