This is what the NGOs have brought us.

"...Pete Hegseth “runs around on a stage talking about lethality and warrior ethos and killing people. … That’s not the message that needs to come from the Secretary of Defense,” complained Sen. Mark Kelly last week..."

I am going to go back after I post and read the story, but these opening words were astonishing enough. It is pretty clear someone like Mark Kelly is an anti-American turd regardless of any military service he had, but that statement...

Lethality, warrior ethos, and killing people is the fundamental mission of the military. It is a given that we hope and expect that individual soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen will reflect what is best about America in their professional and personal interactions both at home and abroad, and that has largely been true in my experience.

And I am proud that when there is a natural disaster such as a tsunami, hurricane, or earthquake, we can often have Naval assets on the scene to assist.

My own father was the XO on the USS Bristol (DD-857) in 1961 when Hurricane Hattie demolished Belize, and the Bristol was the first contact with the outside world that they had when she arrived and sent a launch ashore with my dad...all their contact with the rest of the world had been wiped out. (I have my father's military records, and a copy of the official report he wrote on the event)

And that kind of thing with our military is wonderful.

But in the end, we want them to be lethal and efficient in destroying our enemies, and that cannot be done without a "warrior ethos". This only reinforces my impression of the execrable Kelly as an ideologic cement-head.

Now, I will go read the linked article!

This was why they changed the name to Sec of War. His job is not to make peace. His job is to prepare for war. Let the peace thing be handled by the politicians of which Kelly isn’t one obviously. He has no concept of how the system works or is defined.

Great explanation of the current Hegseth op in the Color Revolution against Trump, us, and the USA.

https://x.com/TimOnPoint/status/1994570386239852571?s=20

“Timeline of a deep state hit:

A) a JSOC kill strike is ordered on an authorized target. Not a capture strike, a kill strike - President Obama was quite fond of them btw - 500+ to his name, including Americans.

B) the story is leaked. A leak from JSOC? Probably not - the leak is probably closer to the SECWAR’s office in the Pentagon. The Washington Post begins writing the story.

C) a Soros-funded NGO puts billboards up encouraging military personnel to report unlawful orders… although there are no unlawful orders identified.

D) out of nowhere, the Seditious Six - which includes one presidential hopeful and one former IC member who had direct involvement in the original attempt to destroy Trump - delivers to social media a “don’t give up the ship” video - a public service announcement to all personnel to refuse unlawful orders.

*** the video was funded and produced a Soros funded NGO.

E) Senator Slotkin, the former CIA ghoul, goes on the news and is very careful to state that she can’t identify any unlawful orders that have been given.

F) boom, the WaPo delivers the story claiming unlawful orders.

G) Friday evening, everyone on the left hits social media - with paid amplification - about the unlawful orders.

H) the Sunday shows will be filled with calls for war crimes charges, impeachments, and resignations.

All a coincidence, right? None of it was coordinated, right?

Not all civil wars happen on the battlefield.”

Kelly is a puppet. The hand up his a$$ moving his lips is the same hand that backed Afton Behn, AOC, Omar and CommieMommi in New York.

I like Hegseth. He’s Secretary of War, not Defense as Kelly says, so he’s acting exactly right. I like Hegseth for President.

The question is, what is going to be done to stop this?

Anything short of prosecutions or member of Congress guilty of sedition is useless rhetoric.

Mark Kelly is one more proof that the communist infiltration of the US and the US military is far, far beyond the level of being simply “dangerous”.

One of the most dangerous outcomes for libs is a robust American military taking care of American and allied interests and kept out of everyone else’s conflicts. Americans patriotic enthusiasm is sky high when they see drug boats shot out of the water before that garbage kills American kids. Libs hate patriotic enthusiasm which will redound to the political benefit and legacy of SECWAR and POTUS.

It was obvious from the get go. Dems have tried for years to the the US to devolve into a third world country, and this third world trick is just proof. They should also know that it’s obvious what happens to those who try unsuccessfully to stage a military coup in the third world.
