Not gonna happen.

Go away.

I recall he went on to say that the Pentagon is done walking on egg shells. And Americans cheer.

That Gaza pier debacle is the best reason for Pete. Our military did not know how to connect the pier together. No understanding of the high winds and seas during planning. Over 60 injured.

How do you talk about engaging on substance and then misspell people’s names sarcastically? It isn’t a reasoned debate when it boils down to making fun of names.

“SECDEF HEGSETH:

No more pronouns.

No more climate change obsession.

No more emergency vaccine mandates.

No more dudes in dresses.

We’re done with that shit.”

That pretty much covers it.

Like many people, I found humor in that movie and series...but as I got older, I saw it for what it was-an endeavor by the Left to ridicule, diminish, and demean the military.

That was the grandest thing I have heard come out of the US Military since General Norman Schwarzkopf said:

"How do you fight someone who doesn't care if they get killed? You accommodate them."

Heh - well, it's worse than that because I thought I was responding to the Ramaswamy thread, and this was the Hegseth thread. But I did actually respond with substance to y issue with Ramaswamy.

As for Hegseth, I stand by my "good ideas, lousy manager/executive" stance. He brings over his own hand-picked key subordinates, and they all turn out to be lousy. Not having a stable of reliable, competent associates to form the core of his staff was one of the specific issues for which I criticized his nomination.

One of the more common defenses of Hegseth's lack of management experience I read was "well, he'll be at the top providing direction, and the expertise will lie with his key subordinates". As I pointed out them, it was HIS job to pick those subordinates, and he predictably failed miserably at it.

Having the right views AND experience managing a large organization wasn't too big an "ask" for a SecDef.

Well, ol’ Stormin’ Norman was being...diplomatic!

Remember how upset people got when the word “kill” was used? Amazing...
