The surge in recruitment comes after two consecutive years of missing recruitment targets.

Alpha male leader.

Attracts alpha male followers.

A military can never have too many alpha males.

It’s going to be an iconic photo when President Trump gets the whole Cabinet together for the first time, if Muesli Brains ever had one I don’t remember.

That could be interesting.

When someone RFK Jr's age challenges someone Hegseth's age to a weight lifting contest, you know he's feeling pretty confident about his ability to do well.

He is from Forest Lake, MN. He is used to cold and snow. See how happy he looks. He loves it.

I love the brave Polish people who stared down communism by attending a Mass said by JPII.
