“Ultimately, having people like Hegseth in senior leadership, Cook thinks, has enabled immoral and even unconstitutional behavior in the military.” Black service members during a white-right administration, by @clintsmithiii.bsky.social.

I've spent months speaking to current & retired Black service members about being part of the military in this political moment. What I found were officers and soldiers despondent at the resurgence of racism, yet often insistent that they were fighting for what this country could be, not what it is.
They devoted their lives to serving the United States. Now the nation’s top military leader is sending the message that they’re not welcome.
