Excellent essay in post #10. I see Secretary Hegseth as the necessary enema that was needed to eliminate the DEI constipation in the military that was restricting the flow of competence and combat effectiveness.
A better visual is a patriotic combat veteran fortunate enough to retire before being ensnared by the mandatory politicization required for full-birds and above, kicking the worst of those out of the Pentagon much like Jesus cast the money-changers out of the temple.
"Good luck in your future employment as lobbyists and media 'experts'."
I very much appreciated that post of yours… I am not making any kind of comparison between Christ and either Trump or Hegseth, but Hegseth go in to the Pentagon as the secretary of War and waging war against the leftists in order to cast them out, does seem like a parallel…
