Go to 6:10 for the preamble, and 7:20 for the “prayer.”

This isn’t Hegseth being funny; Dude had no idea he was reading from Hollywood.

And if he WAS trying to be a joker, he picked the wrong place to do it.

More like a clown vs joker.

And before anyone gets all huffy, you know if some Obamabot screwed up this royally he’d be keelhauled by FR.

“This isn’t Hegseth being funny; Dude had no idea he was reading from Hollywood.”

Nonsense. He gives a mischievous grin which goes unmistaken.

“And if he WAS trying to be a joker, he picked the wrong place to do it. More like a clown vs joker.”

Nonsense. In the “preamble,” he speaks about the heroic sacrifice of the Sandys, deliberately likening to Christ. He shares their prayer as evidence to their self-awareness of that. There’s nothing wrong with passing on their prayer, even if it contains a little humor.

Thank you for the link to the actual video of Hegseth's remarks.

I guess everybody saying he clearly knew it was a joke was watching a different version than what I just saw.

It was, however, unintentionally hilarious.

The hard, grim, and frequently dark humor shared amongst MEN isn’t for everyone. And that’s OK.

Those of us who “get it”, get it. Those of you who don’t should probably retire to the kitchen and make sammiches ...
