“As Representative Pat Ryan of the House Armed Services Committee put it on Wednesday:
“One of our surviving soldiers told CBS “painting a picture that one squeaked through is a falsehood.” Another said the unit was “unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position.” Another survivor said the building’s protection “was about as weak as one gets.” Secretary Hegseth, that is obviously a direct contradiction of what you said from the Pentagon podium the next day. Are you saying these soldiers, our soldiers, who survived this horrific attack, are lying?”
Hegseth dodged the question.”

Oh gtfo. We know who the liars are.
How disrespectful of him. This is possible the worst trash move of him ever.
Disgusting

it is pretty simple to tell when Hegseth is lying. his mouth is open

Along with the micro servings of slop they are receiving for food and the extremely long deployments, this should do wonders for morale!

Imagine being a service member and having to listen to this dumb fuck.
It’s infuriating listening to him as a civilian, but I can’t imagine dealing with his bullshit in the military. Dude is a complete joke, making a mockery of his position.
Tokie-Dokie on
Don’t know for certain, but it wouldn’t be surprising to learn that people in the military hate this fucking guy.

Hedgehog caught lying for his Christian Nationalist beliefs? Who would have thought that possible! From the pic it seems he is almost as insane as Rump.

Such a disgrace for him to lead our incredible military. A National Guard failure and Fox Entertainer tasked with removing DEI in the military rather than protecting our brave enlisted.

If you are publicly accusing your subordinates of lying, you are a bad leader. Even if they actually are lying (they aren’t in this case, but hypothetically), only a bad leader would have let things get to that point in the first place.

A leader of mice…not (wo+)men.

Isn’t that rich coming from a traitor like him.

All the U.S. military personnel need to see this. How quick he will be to sell out his own troops to try to save himself. He’s a drunker, less competent Zapp Brannigan, and that’s saying something.

They only pretend to care about soldiers. They’re just meat for the 1% grinder.
Walzz111 on
Of course. Throw the warfighters under the bus pete. Shameless, idiotic, coward.

This guy deserves a North Korean-style firing.

Jesus fuck what a booze imbibed heinous meat sack, projecting his lies onto his very own victims. Fuck you, Kegbreath.

Didn’t this guy’s mom have to save his nomination? Sad but predictable.

Remove him from office immediately

The infighting is beginning as these clowns want to try to preserve their political careers in the face of the midterms.

Service members don’t mind killing people for wealthy pedophiles, so i doubt they care much about this.

No military official has ever had issues with blaming the troops for their own inadequacies and shifting blame, and basically doing uneducated dumb shit. Just talk to all the COs in Vietnam who tried things like this with their troops.
Nothing like blaming all the people in constant danger on the battlefield of being horrible people. That’s never been a bad idea.
Freddy-Borden on
The Party of the Military accuses them of lying.
Just like how the “back the blue” party blamed Capital Police for Trumps insurrection.
You can’t make this stuff up, you can only be really stupid and support it, right MAGA!

A leader takes responsibility. This is no leader.

This should always be referred to at the “Unconstitutional Iran War” because this military action is in violation of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution.

Last time he was faced with the fact that his fridge was not stocked up with Miller Lite, he beat his wife.
jschank on
Sounds like he doesn’t support the troops.
__dilligaf__ on
Yikes. Knowing how much he prides himself on his appearance and hates unflattering photos of himself, I hope this one (or worse) is included in **every** article published about him. Also looking forward to Colin Jost skewering him on the last 3 episodes of SNL. Fuck this guy.

Secretary of Defense throwing his own soldiers under the bus after asking them for complete loyalty…..seems right for this administration.
BusterStarfish on
Somehow I continue to be shocked by how unprofessional and insulting this entire admin is. It’s just so far from anything I would call acceptable for anyone, let alone an elected *representative* or someone in the Presidents own cabinet.

The truth and basic decency mean nothing to Trump, his appointees, or his Republican supporters. I pray that the majority of decent Americans wake up and realize the existential threat to our country and our democracy MAGA represents. They can be beaten, but, it will take a concerted, focused effort by average people to stop their evil.

Oh sure the troops are lying, not the team of drunk failed podcasters and fox news cronies that are known worldwide for being….liars.

I believe the troops any day over these idiots.
VexedCanadian84 on
I have a feeling that might hurt troop morale
PapaBeahr on
This is going to do WONDERS for morale. I’m sure the Troops will love hearing the guy in charge of them living or dying called them liars and blamed them for the war going poorly.
How long before we see troops leaving service or just going AWOL.
Jimbo415650 on
always blame the troops., Vietnam Veterans know exactly how that feels
Phronias on
Like his supreme boss, if they could just fall on their swords instead of always pointing their fingers we might just respect them more.
