This moron is totally deluded, if he tries to run for president, doesn’t he realise his opponents are going to have all this shit to dump on him?

For those movie buffs reading this: I picture Hegseth watching Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark and thinking, “That’s me!” Pete, that movie isn’t reality! It’s a goof on those old serial action movies! War isn’t like that!

Leaders of the U.S. European Command, the U.S. Pacific Command, and the U.S. Southern Command are just worry warts. It'll be fine.

Can we make it a rule for non- comments not to use "Boomer" as an insult? It is ageist and no better than other banned insults. I'm a Boomer and a veteran and frankly quite sick of it. BTW, Hegseth was born in 1980, not a Boomer.

As long as Natalie keeps printing out stories about how the proven rapist Trump has won the Iran war, can any of us truly say we are losing?

"Driscoll was trying to teach the military how to fight wars with things like drones."

But he was a typical lib, and wanted to do new drones. Just like his carriers, the proven rapist Trump only wants drones like they had in the 1950s. If it isn't controlled by lines and a soldier spinning around in a field, how can you expect it to work???

I would think there reaches a point where the warfighter falls over from dizziness before the mission can be completed.

In something I think says everything about how the US military is currently perceived, the other weekend I was at an airshow here in Canada. Much to my perpetual tiredness, the airshow crowd tends broadly towards the rah-rah faux patriotic conservative types. And the US military planes usually have assume lines to see them and talk to the troops.

They were shorter than I've ever seen them, and many of those in line were americans here for the show. More than one comment re: Hegseth was made by local attendees. When you've lost even the pro-military conservatives you know you've fucked up.

As someone once said, you go to war with the unqualified dipshit SecDef you have, not the one you want.

I used to think that Rumsfeld was the biggest fool to swagger around the E-Ring.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

Biggest fool to swagger around the E-ring so far.

I cannot discern the attraction. I cannot recognize the attraction. Not even as a roadside attraction.

What is that gym move, where you hold the bar with your palms towards you, and you hit your face on the bar while doing a dance/walk up with your legs?

Is that one of those Not A Gym Exercises?

Oh, I get it. "Hit Your Face On The Bar".

I hope he paid his tab (he didn't).

Are pull-ups supposed to be that hard on the knees?

Secretary Hairproduct McRaisinballs is doing a helluva jerb!

Let's not forget that Brownie did successfully run horse shows.

Can you imagine Pete running a horse show?

Bagels of Doom's avatar

And absolutely nobody wants Pete's lemonade.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

And his hair product is snot.

So all the times Trump has claimed ignorance of what his administration is doing was the truth.

Drop that fucker off on the flight deck of the Lincoln and let things happen naturally. Then we'll see how much of a Brave, Big Dick testosteone-filled wArFiGhTeR Petey is.

A “non concur” statement seems like a really big deal to me. Telling the Secretary of Defense that we will do this but the absolute definite failure we expect from doing it is all on you seems as legally close to mutiny as you can get.

"Hegseth almost immediately went to Iowa to to the state fair to start kicking the tires on maybe running for president."

Oh, please do, Pete. Nothing funnier than seeing someone suffering from extreme case of Dunning-Kruger.

I do look forward to his corndog photo.

I've seen USAmerica elect some real losers. I don't want to tempt the fates.
