A former military PR officer-turned-podcaster has warned of a deep-rooted leftist resistance movement within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
Dr. Chase Spears told World Net Daily (WND) that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has many enemies in the DOD.
According to Spears, those operatives were promoted due to their leftist ideology and plan to wait out the Trump administration.
“There have been some notable restorative changes in the Defense Department under Pete Hegseth’s tenure,” Dr. Chase Spears said.
“But constitutionally minded friends and colleagues of mine still in the force tell me that fear of defending truth remains palpable in the ranks.”
As an example, Spears said:
“One shared candidly that a left-wing supervisor is openly contemptuous toward the new secretary.”
Spears said he had not encountered anything like it in his 20-year military career.
“The defense complex views this as a war and is determined to wait the Trump Administration out,” Spears characterized the DOD.
“Many of the senior officers charged to carry out Hegseth’s orders were promoted for their fidelity to leftist ideology,” he warned.
Spears said he didn’t think there was any viable way forward without replacing these leftist officials.
“Trusting generals and colonels who created these problems to help clean them up is unwise at best,” Spears said.
“It’s past time to send the majority of them on their way.”
Spears revealed that some of these generals and admirals believe they are above the law, and that’s dangerous.
One of these is Rear Adm. James P. Waters III.
Waters was responsible for denying religious accommodations to soldiers who refused Covid “vaccinations.”
After being promoted to commander of the Navy Recruiting Command, he blocked the X account of Navy Commander Robert A Green, Jr. from the Navy Recruiting Command’s official X account in June 2024.
The action violated federal law in the same way his earlier action violated the Constitution.
“If you refuse to honor a rightful law, Americans have no reason to believe that you’ll honor your oath to any other proper authority, Constitution included,” Spears suggested.
“Admiral Waters and anyone else still openly violating the law must be relieved and referred for court-martial charges.
“Anything less sets a dangerous precedent that military officials are above the law.”
In addition, he said, “People who believe that, especially those who command well-armed combat formations, historically tend to become extraordinarily dangerous to the people they’re charged to protect.”
