Hegseth says Pentagon ‘tracking’ service members, civilians who celebrate Charlie Kirk killing
The Hill ^ | September 12, 2025 | Ellen Mitchell

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is warning civilian and military employees that the Pentagon is “tracking” any comments from them that celebrate or mock the Wednesday assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“We are tracking all these very closely — and will address, immediately. Completely unacceptable,” Hegseth wrote Thursday on social media.

Hegseth was responding to a statement from chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, who earlier said it is “unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American. The Department of War has zero tolerance for it,” using the Trump administration’s preferred name for the Department of Defense.

They did not mention any specific examples of personnel who had reacted positively to Kirk’s death.

Good. At the least destroy their careers.

Captains become sergeants. Lieutenant’s become privates, generals get fired.
A year or two in Leavenworth would be better if possible.

Several, including a racist active duty Marine recruiter in Chicago, have been revealed. Several civilians.

Charlie Kirk was an evangelical Christian and the demonic of course celebrate his killing.

These demonics are moving quickly towards killing all Christians.

Unfortunately, for every dumb one that reveals their true allegience, there are dozens that are smart enough to lay low. Those are the dangerous ones. Commies are like cockroaches...

Good, get these domestic enemy bastards the hell out of my government and let’s open some investigations into Ilhan Omar as well. Same day Kirk was murdered that bitch was bashing him before his body was even cold. I mean, excuse me, but I can’t seem to recall a section in the Constitution that states foreign terrorists must have a rep in the US Congress, when the hell did this happen? Ms. “Some people did something”.

Department of war.

I love it.

When did they change the name back?

This organization is all about “war,” not defense, not climate change, not ozone homes or sex changes and LGBTQIA month.

The purpose of a military is to “kill people and break things.” (Mike Huckabee made this quote popular but wasn't the first to say it).

When you keep things simple and clear, you are much better at achieving your mission/purpose. Dilute it with false priorities, political correctness, euphemisms, and you lose your edge.

Good. People tasked with protecting our country and its citizens can not be trusted or kept in their jobs when celebrating said citizens deaths.

He has no choice. As the leader of the Department of War, he has an obligation to be forthright and clear about what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t.

Good, I haven’t been agreeing with everything Hegseth has been doing @DoD but do agree with this.

A decade or two at Club Gitmo would be best.

This is far bigger than just the death of Charlie Kirk. We have a full-blown revolution developing and anyone who can't see it has deliberately blinded themselves. An entire team had to have developed the plan (although flawed), signaled to the shooter the exact right time, facilitated distraction to give him time to escape, etc., etc..

The guy signaling with his hands and others caught on video tape with strange behaviors are clearly suspect.. More than likely, communist (for lack of a better word) cells are embedded in ALL major universities. Major Democrats are involved and they want totalitarian power and have acted in such a way as to indicate that.

This has brought to life a movement that is a REAL threat to all Americans who disagree with these people. They are murderers like the Bolsheviks, Che Guevara, Pol Pot, the Viet Cong, etc., etc., ad nauseum. There needs to be a call to arms to train at-this-time-civilians to assist the FBI and the DOJ in finding and bringing these traitors to justice after deputizing them. Literally thousands of us are chomping at the bit to participate.
