“Pete is dedicated to ensuring that our military is focused on lethality and readiness, not woke ideology,” Johnson said in a statement.

In his statement announcing Hegseth as his Defense secretary pick, the president-elect said the book “reveals the leftwing betrayal of our Warriors, and how we must return out Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence.”

He said the book The War on Warrior "reveals the leftwing betrayal of our warriors, and how we must return our military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence".

“But I think because of its lethality with no known treatments, the public health response is warranted — and the peak case rate is in August and September, but it rapidly goes down after that.”

He vowed to increase the "lethality" of his force through modernisation and new technology, without the need for greater troop numbers.
