  1. It’s cute how Hegseth wants us to refer to him by his preferred title “Secretary of War” instead of the one assigned to him “Secretary of Defense”

  2. He wants to let them take the gloves off when hazing recruits. I guess he was never properly hazed in the weak woke military he served in. He needs to be hazed properly – make him a real warrior.

  3. I think the headline should probably be about when trump showed up declared democrats the enemy within and demanded the gathered military leadership to “use democrat cities as training grounds to eliminate the enemy within.” He’s going to declare martial law and kill people.

    I watched the whole speech. They did clap at the end, not that there was any exuberance or anything.

  5. This admin is so weak and incompetent. They pull all these people in from around the world and Beerbreath prances about talking about woke for 20 minutes and then Trump give the same stump speech he’s been giving for 10 years for the remaining 40. What a bunch of losers.

  6. Imagine dedicating decades of your life to end up being screamed at by a drug-addicted Fox-News host.

    Organizers started playing music right when Trump stopped speaking. Very little applause and no standing ovation.

  8. I am a 20+ year retired E-7. I do not know what to take of what he is doing. But I interpret the thing he said about seeking out enemies areound the world. At least that what I heard him say. Are we on the offense now? Are we looking for a war?

    Pete Hegseth attends Doug Wilson’s “Christ Church” in D.C..

    Wilson stated openly in a CNN interview that he was to repeal the right to vote for women and that only white Christian ( his type of Christianity ) men should run the government.

  10. maybe appointing an unqualified and alcoholic fox news host to secretary of defense wasn’t a great idea after all

  11. Historically, is this not the exact audience that is statistically most likely to lead coup attempts on corrupt governments? And y’all just start calling them fat to their faces?!

    You can really tell who never been punched in their mouth before…

  12. If they weren’t doing so already, more than a few of them were probably left thinking “are we the baddies?”

  13. My husband thinks I am being dramatic. I am freaking terrified. We are about to lose our democracy. This is a mind fuck nightmare.

    I just want healthcare and the social security I have been paying into. Please, stop this nonsense.

  15. >The new process will no longer allow service members to remain anonymous to their superiors when making reports of racial discrimination or sexual harassment.

    Well that’s horrific and will create an extreme risk of retaliation.

    I’d like to thank Hegseth and Trump for showing the entire military who they really are. Small minded weak men. If the coup comes, I doubt the generals will follows these morons.

    Kudos to whoever picked the most bombastic picture possible for the image with this article

    It really is peak MAGA—an alcoholic talk show host, short-term reservist who did one short tour in Civil Affairs, and is only in post because he kisses the ass of a senile old pedophile, should ***absolutely*** be telling Generals and Admirals, with decades of combat, command and special forces experience, how to do their jobs.

  19. Genuine question for military folks. Is that normal for this audience to be silent and have someone bark attention like that?

  20. The civil war isn’t coming anymore it’s here and soon it will be knocking on your door to see your papers as it yanks your neighbor into the street.

  21. I’ve never served in the military, but I suspect soldiers and officers are not SUPPOSED to clap, cheer, or otherwise respond in this sort of situation. They are not fans at a rally, they are being briefed/instructed by Secretary of Defense. So the noteworthy part of their silence isn’t actually that they were silent, it’s that that drunken Fox News personality Hegseth paused expecting their to be applause.

  22. This fucking guy preaching about warrior ethos to fucking GENERALS will never not be embarassing as fuck.

    What a joke this entire administration is.

    Bitch sit down and keep being a Secretary. You are not a leader and never will be

  23. Of course the guy who’s been wearing TV makeup for the majority of his adult life would be hyper concerned about the grooming and facial hair of his “warriors” lol. They should all go into battle wearing Prada suits right Pete?

    The “warrior ethos” thing is beyond stupid. He sounds like an insane moron when he talks about it. Like his Christofascist leader at the so called churches attends.

    “The sooner we have the right people, the sooner we can advance the right policies,” he added.

    Translation- once we remove all the people who might oppose us and once we have maga loyalists in place we can declare martial law and begin ourboverthrow of american democracy.

  26. To be fair, the trait of silence in these situations is common in the military, so I would have expected silence.

    However, this speech was still terrifying in nature in the direction the US is deciding to move in regards to military standards. Especially as it pertains to female standards and bringing back assault as a tactic to instill discipline.

    If his gold standard is “would I want my child to serve”, then it’s a hell no from me because recruits are going to get their asses beat and the new policies will make it impossible to report abuse, because it will be seen as ‘woke’.

  27. He was expecting cheers thinking leadership was waiting to be racist and toxic again, when these are the cream of the crop and know true leadership isn’t about being toxic to the people you are meant to lead. Truly an embarrassment.

    I really hope there’s some talks going on in secret amongst our top military brass. Shit is getting real, and there may come a point where they are going to have to make a decision we have never seen before in this country.

  29. Imagine using the phrase “out with the Milley’s” to describe one of the most highly respected semi-governmental figures of this generation.
