The Pentagon has ramped up a political correctness crusade in the wake of the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

The military is taking disciplinary action against both enlisted troops and officers over social media posts regarding Kirk, who was shot last week at an event at Utah Valley University.

In the wake of Kirk’s death, a number of X accounts began calling for their followers to find social media posts made by troops that they saw as being critical of — or even not sufficiently deferential to — Kirk or mocking or celebrating his death. The accounts began posting screenshots, tagging Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and other senior Pentagon officials and calling for the troops to be fired.
