At the end of the movie Animal House, they do that bit where they say what happened to many of the characters after leaving college. For Niedemyer, it said he was shot by his own troops in Vietnam.
It must have been a miracle that didn’t happen to Kegsbreath.
Ta, Evan. Before his totally undeserved promotion from Faux Noise talking head to SecDef, I knew of Li'l Petey only that he doesn't wash his hands, and only because I read Wonkette. He's not fit to polish Leigh Ann Hester's boots (and he'd probably fuck that up, too). Just another whiny ass baby who wants undeserved respect.
I can tell you this. Republican politicians love to fuck with the facts. But if you're a top-level military officer, you don't ever fuck with facts. Because in a firefight, you fuck with facts and you die.
"War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it War is hell. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood". Gen Tecumshe Sherman
Well, after all, isn't the post battle drunken revelry and wenching part of the deal? Shows that in all the movies. Don and Pete both live in some Hollywood adolescent fantasy where war isn't the horror that it really is, but rather a fun game tremendously enjoyed by manly men
If being a "real man" involves acting a fool like Don and Pete, count me out! Pete hates "beardos" so will JD, Don Jr, and Eric be clean shaven tomorrow
This whole meeting was absurd. Just Don and Pete trying to lord it over people whose patriotism and sense of duty should go unchallenged. Another embarrassing day for the USA thanks to the Trumpy the Clown show.
OT, but I saw a thing on Bluesky where ICE knocked over a reporter at that NYC federal building where they have immigration court and ICE hangs out and arrests people. Reporter was wheeled out on a stretcher and they said he was getting x-rays to lower back at the hospital.
I read this article but am to lazy to read any coverage. So what happened? Anybody got "you're fired"ed? Have there been any leaks about what happened or impressions from the hostages, erm guests?
One thing I think maybe, maybe good about That Man making an appearance is that the upper ranks that maybe don't necessarily pay attention to negative coverage of the Commander in Chief is that they got to see with their own eyes what condition he is in and maybe, just maybe that worries them a little bit.
One correction... I think you mean WHARFRATFUCKERS not WARFIGHTERS.
Imagine if Hegseth had served in Vietnam. He definitely would have been one of the ones killed by their own troops.

All the Secretary and CinC did was rant and babble. Confirming to the top brass they should be ignored at best, arrested at worst.

Why it should not be the Department of War

Let's not forget Pete Kegsbreaths Warrior Ethos involves getting hammered and smacking a woman around while you're raping her.

THAT guy used his mouth to speak and use the name of Eugene Sledge?
If Hegseth wasn't already slated for Hell upon his demise, he definitely is now.

So, we've got two classes of leadership in the Pentagon, the military leadership and the civilian leadership.
The military leadership is referred to as the uniformed leadership.
The civilian leadership is referred to as the uninformed leadership.

And now for something completely different; Pete Hegseth addresses the military leaders. Enjoy.
