美国陆军部长皮特·赫格斯于纽约州西点的美国陆军军官学校(西点军校)于5月23日周六的毕业典礼演讲中透露,美国陆军提前四个月完成了2026年征兵目标。

“全军各军种的征兵人数都有所上升,我很高兴地宣布,就在两天前,美国陆军提前四个月完成了2026年征兵目标,”赫格斯说道。

“这将是连续第二个创纪录的一年。这意味着你们即将训练这群学员,并带领61500名新兵。明年,当我们扩大陆军规模时,这个数字还会更高。当你们作为排长在一线指挥编队时,你们将成为他们快速反应的先锋,”他继续说道。

根据五角大楼的数据,2025年陆军设定的征兵目标为61000人,最终实际征兵62050人,超额完成目标。

“选择为国服役的男女军人正在积极践行超越自身的承诺,”美国陆军征兵司令部军士长丹尼·巴沙姆在一份声明中说道。“国家依赖他们的力量、品格与奉献精神。

在赫格斯的演讲中,这位陆军部长还批评了此前美军将重点放在多元化目标和“反美国意识形态”上的政策。

他们追捧多元化、公平性与包容性的狂热风潮,试图引入多元化与包容性研究,还聘请了在西点校园宣扬反美国意识形态的教授。但这一切都将成为过去。西点军校与众不同。它很特别。它超脱于政治之外。这里的成功基于功绩。你的表现才是关键。这里是美国陆军军官学校,”他说道。

“军事史上最愚蠢的一句话在短短几年前就在我们陆军中流传开来。你们都听过,也许是在西点的头两年。我们的多元化就是我们的力量。军事史上最愚蠢的一句话,”他说道。

“我们的将军们曾面不改色地在全国电视节目中说出这句话。这完全是无稽之谈。如今,这类荒谬言论在平民休息室、平民教师休息室被拿来开玩笑,或是在研究生研讨会上被辩论,但它们绝不能在我们的作战编队中被容忍。这些理念会让人丧命。多元化不是我们的力量,团结才是我们的力量,”赫格斯说道,现场响起掌声。

他继续赞扬毕业学员,并描绘了他们即将面临的危险世界。

赫格斯誓言重建军事威慑力,让敌人“根本不想惹我们”

“你们从事的是危险的职业,高强度冲突的世界必然伴随着巨大的痛苦、挣扎、伤病与人类悲剧。在陆军部,我们培养的是战士。我们打造的不是适应晴日晴空或是华丽阅兵的战士。我们打造的是能在深夜、不管天气好坏,搭乘直升机、C-17运输机或斯特赖克装甲车,前往危险地区,打击那些企图伤害我们国家和公民的敌人,代表美国人民在近距离残酷战斗中伸张正义,”他继续说道。

“但我们与众不同的地方在于,我们作战不是因为我们憎恨眼前的事物。我们作战是因为我们热爱身后的事物。我们的家人、我们的自由和我们的旗帜。战场不会给你打分,你没法向敌人扔代词。战斗是终极考验,我们最优秀的军人必须在这场考验中取得优异成绩,”赫格斯说道。

赫格斯的演讲大量涉及信仰内容,他宣读了《以赛亚书》6:8的经文。“我听见主的声音说:‘我要差遣谁呢?谁肯为我们去呢?’我说:‘我在这里,请差遣我,’”赫格斯宣读道。

“‘我在这里,请差遣我’是永不过时的无私服务号召,”他说道。

他还援引了查理·柯克,呼吁学员们永远寻求上帝的指引。

“正如查理·柯克常说:‘永远记住,一切都会过去。’好时光会过去。坏时光也会过去。你永远不会像自己想象的那样优秀,也永远不会像自己想象的那样糟糕。在任何境遇中都要寻求上帝,”他说道。

赫格斯周六发表演讲之际,美国正考虑恢复对伊朗的新军事行动,而一项和平协议悬而未决。这位陆军部长还谈到了“史诗之怒行动中要求美军承担的任务。

“你们的士兵必须随时准备应对一切,因为世界只会变得更加复杂。看看过去几个月里我们的士兵所做的一切,我们已经要求空降部队和快速反应部队随时部署到中东,作为铁盾保护美国基地和美国民众,抵御伊朗代理武装。这包括美国陆军部队使用海马斯火箭炮帮助击沉伊朗海军舰艇。我知道陆军很喜欢击沉海军舰艇,这是目前你们唯一被允许击沉的海军,”赫格斯开玩笑道,这是在提及美国陆军与美国海军之间众所周知的良性竞争。

唐纳德·特朗普总统周六下午将与阿拉伯领导人举行电话会议,听取他们对伊朗协议草案的意见。据报道,特朗普周六早些时候告诉Axios电视台,他对能否达成“一份好协议的可能性只有“不折不扣的五五开”,否则就会“把他们炸到王国之外”。

The United States Army reached its recruiting goals for 2026 four months early, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed during a Saturday commencement speech at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

“Recruitments are up across the joint force, and I’m pleased to announce that just two days ago, the U.S. Army met its 2026 recruiting goals four months early,” Hegseth said.

“A second record year in a row. That means you’re about to train this group right here and lead 61,500 new soldiers. And next year, when we grow the size of the army, it will be even more when you’re out there in your formations as platoon leaders at the tip of the spear, you will be at the tip of the spear of their snapback ,” he continued.

In 2025, the Army set a goal of 61,000 and exceeded it with 62,050, according to the Pentagon.

“The men and women who chose to serve our nation are actively showing their commitment to something larger than themselves,” Command Sgt. Maj. Danny Basham, United States Army Recruiting Division command sergeant major, said in a statement. “The nation depends on their strength, character and commitment.”

During Hegseth’s speech, the war secretary also criticized previous military policy of focusing on diversity goals and “anti-American ideologies.”

They embraced the DEI craze and tried to introduce diversity and inclusion studies, and they hired professors who advocated for anti-American ideologies right here in these halls. But no more. West Point is set apart. It’s special. It’s above politics. Success here is based on merit. It’s how you perform that matters. This is the United States Military Academy,” he said.

“The single dumbest phrase in military history was peddled in our army only a few short years ago. You’ve all heard it, maybe in your first two years at West Point. Our diversity is our strength. The single dumbest phrase in military history,” he said.

“We had generals saying this with a straight face on national television. It was absolute nonsense. Now, these sorts of silly things can be laughed at when they occur in a civilian lounge or civilian faculty lounge, or debated in graduate seminars, but they cannot be tolerated in our formations. These ideas are what get people killed. Diversity is not our strength. Unity is our strength,” Hegseth said, garnering applause.

He continued to praise the graduating cadets and painted a picture of a dangerous world confronting them.

“You’re in a dangerous line of work, and there is no world in which high intensity conflict exists without great pain, agony, sickness, and human tragedy. In this War Department, we raise up warriors. Purpose built, not for good weather, blue skies or fancy parades. We’re built to load up on the back of helicopters, C-17s or Strykers in the dead of night, in fair weather or foul, to go to dangerous places, to engage those who would do our nation and our citizens harm and deliver justice in close and brutal combat on behalf of the American people,” he continued.

“But what makes us different is that we don’t fight because we hate what’s in front of us. We fight because we love what’s behind us. Our family, our freedom and our flag. The battlefield does not grade on a curve, and you can’t throw your pronouns at the enemy. Combat is the ultimate test, and our best Americans must ace it,” Hegseth said.

Hegseth’s speech touched heavily upon faith as he read a verse from Isaiah 6:8. “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying ‘whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ and I said ‘Here I am! Send me,’” Hegseth read.

“Send me is the timeless, selfless call to service,” he said.

He also invoked Charlie Kirk while imploring the cadets to seek God always.

“As Charlie Kirk often said, ‘Remember always, this too shall pass.’ The good times will pass. The bad times will pass. You’re never as good as you think you are, nor are you as bad as you think you are. Seek God in every circumstance,” he said.

Hegseth delivered his speech Saturday as the U.S. considering resuming fresh military actions against Iran as a peace deal hangs in the balance. The war secretary discussed what was asked of the U.S. military during Operation Epic Fury.

“Your soldiers must be ready for anything because the world is only getting more complex. Just look at what our soldiers have done in just the last few months alone, we’ve asked our airborne and rapid reaction forces to deploy at a moment’s notice to the Middle East, standing as an iron shield to protect American bases and American lives from Iranian proxies. This includes American Army units using HIMARS to help sink the Iranian Navy. I know the Army loves sinking the Navy. That’s the only name navy you’re currently allowed to sink ,” Hegseth joked, referencing the known friendly rivalry between the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy.

President Donald Trump is holding a conference call on Saturday afternoon with Arab leaders to get their opinions on a draft agreement with Iran. The president reportedly told Axios earlier Saturday he’s a “solid 50/50” on whether a “good” deal could be reached or else “blow them to kingdom come.”
