Hegseth demands female service members treat all orders as lawful

WASHINGTON — Secretary of Defense and also War Pete Hegseth released a memo urging female service members to assume every order from a male superior is "absolutely, unquestionably" lawful, sources confirmed today.

The memo, titled "Trust, Obey, NDA" and addressed to all "deployment 8’s and above," clarified that female troops do not have a right to question orders from male authority figures. 

“It is your sacred duty to follow orders, even when they involve hotel room keycards, burner phones, or suspiciously specific swimsuit contests,” the memo read. “You are a warfighter, not a question-asker.”
