  1. Insulting and wasting the time of the people who keep leaking that you’re a messy bitch is an interesting strategy.

    Unqualified bigot, drunk, wife beater just drumming up hatred, making sure the leaders of the troops toe the fascist line.

  3. “As it turns out, the rationale was to rail against the culture wars. Hegseth, pacing back and forth on-stage, also leveraged his time in front of America’s military to criticize “woke” ideology. He ordered the armed forces to reset its entrance requirements to the “highest male standard only,” a decision that would effectively force women out of the military.

    “If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is,” Hegseth said.

    The Pentagon chief also nixed medical beard waivers, a decision that will disproportionately affect Black service members due to the curl pattern of the hair on their face.

    “No more beardos,” Hegseth said. “Calling someone to shave, or work hard, is exactly the kind of work force we want.”

    Why couldn’t this have been an email?

    This is BAD and he’s waddling around the stage like he’s fucking Steve Jobs.

    They have now defacto banned women and trans people from serving.

  5. >“To our enemies: FAFO,” Hegseth said, using an acronym that translates to “fuck around and find out.”

    Nothing projects power like abbreviating an expletive.

    “Pete, you are a fucking bitchass pussy, a preening douchebag loser who projects whisky-dick energy.” That’s how you use expletives.

    Gathers all of our most vital military men to one place at the last minute to say “FAFO” – wow, so intimidating.

  7. Because nothing will generate as much respect from across the highest ranked members of the country’s armed forces like a 40 minute word salad full of cringey truthsocial jargon and complaining about beards.

    Can I get a number on what it just cost to transport these generals and their staff back for what could have been a webinar?

    I listened to about a half hour of it and from my understanding:

    1. This could’ve been an email.
    2. No individuality, only conformity
    3. No brains, only brawns.
    4. Pro-bullying
    5. Boo, queers and women.
    6. I’m going to fire everyone who doesn’t suck mine or trumps cock.

  10. Black men make up 20% of the military and woman make up 17%.

    1 in 5 trans persons have served in the military. Trans people are more than twice as likely to serve them cis gender population despite being 1% of the population.

    The US armed services are already in a recruitment slump. Highest ranking members of the US army have approved recruitment strategies that focus on the multi racial and ethnic and sexuality make up of the military has proven effective. That American ideal is a melting pot, that we come together to be greater then the sum of our part and you get ahead by hard work/merit alone. That resonates with people who serve.

    People don’t join the military to feel like real men. Or to be warriors. If they wanna feel that they buy an AR-15 and spend twice what it costs on firearm accessories and marine cosplay gear. Not serve the country.

    Is it already over? That’s it? And he actually said FAFO (like the actual acronym not the full phrase)? Holy shit these people are unbelievably cringe this reminds me of when they were sending each other emojis amongst unsecured classified information during Signalgate.

  12. lorilightning79 on

    They were around before him and they will be around after him. They are smart guys and understand history.

  13. Mmmwafflerunoff on

    He is like the military version of the unqualified CEO getting the job because his uncle owns the company despite never actually working a day in his life. Authoritarian bullshit from a fella who had a makeup studio installed in the Pentagon. What an utter shame this all is.

  14. Winter_Aside8269 on

    “ Generals gathered in their masses….” To hear the Secretary of War spew a bunch of bullshit as they cringe inside. Then for the highlight of the whole thing, the Tangerine, Diapered Wanna Be Dictator will serve them a word salad. Super.

  15. This guy wants to be a mix of Patton and Col. Jessup and he comes across like an Amway salesman

  16. clueless_in_ny_or_nj on

    Called in Military leadership and did a campaign speech.

    Those who speak a lot rarely have something to say.

  17. He wasn’t saying FAFO to some foreign superpower that has their own military, he was talking to anti-MAGA American citizens.

    He’s effectively trying to intimidate us before the midterm elections next year -maybe even laying the ground work for declaring Marshall law and canceling the election. This is not hyperbole. This is all laid out in their MAGA Project 2025 manifesto.

  18. Trump is in the middle of yet another dementia-fuelled and lie-filled rambling speech.

    CNN and other media cheerfully airing this blizzard of lies to help continue sanewashing and revising history. Highlights:

    – there’s 2 kinda of n words he can’t say, and we have lots of them in America
    – woke started in 1950
    – spewing out classified details of our military capabilities and revealing the positions of two stealth submarines
    – lying that he rebuilt America’s “Nuclear”
    – lying that he won the lawsuit against blocking AP from White House coverage
    – dishonest distortions and hallucinations about the Biden admin
    – fictional stories of universities favoring C students over A students
    – firemen are being shot at by animals, causing them to fall from ladders

    CNN isn’t interrupting or fact checking this wall of lies. He’s low energy, slurring and snorting through the usual verbal tic-based stories.

  19. Man AD already look down on Guard and Reservists for not being full time soldiers/marines/sailors/airmen. Imagine being a 20+ year AD flag officer being told how to be a flag officer by a Guard Major that got promoted to SECDEF because the president liked your TV show. Regardless of the flag officers’ political leanings, they must feel insulted. Hell, as a veteran that did more than SECWAR in my service, I feel insulted that this is even happening.

  20. My entire career in the military was behind a keyboard. We don’t need people in top physical fitness for those roles. The military needs its nerds, too. We need the smart weirdos for cyber, nuclear, engineering, etc roles.

    We need women, too. The entire DoD is going to suffer because of these changes. They were struggling with recruitment already, this is going to amplify that bigly.

    Trump is giving up our global superpower in every form.
