Secretary of Defense Hegseth calls rare meeting of General Officers and Admirals.

[Jacuzzme]

I saw no calling for heads on a platter here, that appears to only apply on one side.

I think Hegseth was a good choice, anyone above his retirement rank (maybe one step higher) is essentially a politician these days. I’ll take a guy who kicked in doors to lead the troops over an LTC on up every time and twice on Sunday.

If you don’t think that Hegseth is a politician you’re delusional. I am not sure if he started out as one but he sure is now.

No because he's a threat to the spread of the lefts bullshit communist diversity ideology.

“Diversity is not your strength. Your strength is your unity of purpose, your shared mission, your love of country” Hegseth

Yeah. I'm betting you spent about 15 minutes in the military and this is the shit you jerk off to every night.


Hit the report button twat.

Hegseth's "good shape" has zero to do with his qualifications for this position. It is just another example of the MAGA double standard: use meritocracy as a weapon when it suits, and then completely overlook it when it also suits.

Nah. We just have much higher standards than MAGA. We are amazed that they support someone so blatantly inept and unqualified. And that they justify that support with reasons such as his "good shape."

Personal insults? No. That's you and your side. You people have NO standards. Hence why your boy Biden hired guys in dresses and "men" who stole luggage from airports and put them in important positions. Hegseth is far more qualified than any DEI leftist that was in there previously. So you leftists have ZERO argument about Hegseth or any other Trump appointee.

If he is/was what his nick indicates, it’s one of the most difficult courses in the military. You gotta be a little crazy too, the avatar is not far reality.

Hmm, Combat engineer for VF-31? Not sure that makes since since VF-31 was carrier based.

It's way too early to tell how history will view Hegseth.

... THIS surely might be your best post in this forum, mate.
And THAT is saying something.

... And yet it was yer-own speculation, mate - in the
very-first post here - that Hegseth's meeting of General
Officers and Admirals was going to be a GREAT PURGE.

... Which didn't happen.

... So, it would seem that Pete Hegseth CAN "act like
a politician" at times, yes?

... Still, would surely rather have HIM in his
military role than a sad old "career stumblebum" who
has one eye on retirement and the other on the clock.

... just sayin'

It would appear I was incorrect, judging by the avatar being identical to the fighter squadron. I was referring to the Sapper Leader course at Fort Leonard Wood.
