PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF (PDB) – Defense Secretary Hegseth withdrew a Navy admiral’s nomination to lead the Navy’s 7th Fleet — the Navy’s largest overseas force — amid reports of drag shows taking place under his command seven years ago.
The 596 inappropriate Woke books being banned by DOD schools. Children’s biographies of transgender public figures. A novel on what it is like to be Black in America. A series of graphic novels about a teenage gay couple.
But on the flip side of all this – Army has launched an investigation after a drill sergeant posted a video showing soldiers being hazed beneath a MAGA flag, which runs afoul of regulations prohibiting partisan political activity in uniform and on federal property.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here’s a roundup of today’s other top defense stories ending the week from conservative national security expert PAUL CRESPO.
Not the President’s Daily Brief, but almost as good – PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEFING – the PDB:

Even against admittedly low expectations, the NATO summit at The Hague was a success.
HOMELAND SECURITY
DEFENSE POLITICS
US POWER OVERSEAS
IRAN THREAT/MIDDLE EAST
Israel’s ultra-Orthodox party has announced it is quitting the country’s fractious right-wing coalition due to a long-running dispute over mandatory military service, threatening Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hold on power.

CHINA THREAT
Taiwanese forces, including troops armed with Stinger shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, used the subway to maneuver around the capital city of Taipei to fend off a Chinese attack, as part of a major annual exercise for what looks to be the first time.
RUSSIA THREAT – UKRAINE WAR
Trump on Putin: Pleasant calls, deadly outcomes. In remarks at the White House, Trump offered his most detailed view yet of Vladimir Putin since returning to office. His comments combined skepticism, frustration, and a lingering belief that a deal remains possible.
NORTH KOREA THREAT
SPACE THREAT
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
First High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launch by Estonia marks milestone in Baltic defense. This, years of joint training with U.S. soldiers on a highly sought-after precision strike weapon.

This Isn’t Gamesmanship — It’s Principle. Mike Huckabee Stands With Trump and Israel. Do You?
TRUMP SAID HE WOULD STOP U WAR IN 1 DAY. HE COULD HAVE. PRES ORDER ‘ZELENSKY: YOU’RE FIRED’. THERE HAVE BEEN 120000+ YOUNG MEN KILLED SINCE THEN. THEY ARE ALL ON HIS HANDS.
“Army has launched an investigation after a drill sergeant posted a video showing soldiers being hazed beneath a MAGA flag, which runs afoul of regulations prohibiting partisan political activity in uniform and on federal property.”
And this is your example of why MAGA should not be part of the U.S. military???? Maybe you should do a retake on what MAGA stands for. If you have a problem with the premise, say so, instead of trying to equate it with Woke infested policies championed by the previous administration.
