Time to start testing military personnel for physical enhancement drugs. The new physical fitness demands will push military personnel to use these types of drugs. Start the testing with the Pentagon personnel first.

This is really your take on the outrage from the "Secretary of War" yesterday? Why don't you just pay Trump his extortion/protection money now and get it over with.

He and Trump were the dumbest folks in the room. Think about that!

So what I saw was a call to use American civilians as targets to train troops. A call to skip over pesky rules like the Geneva Convention. A ‘my way or the highway’ threat. And a wish to return to a white male military.

So to summarise he wants to protect rapists in the military and do war crimes. Other than saying the quiet part out loud did I miss any other revelations from the drunken oaf? Shame it was so boring. You’d think with all their top brass in once place something funny might have happened
hungrybillionaire.bsky.social
Why is he so paranoid about masculinity? Why do MAGA states watch so much trans porn? It's the most anxiety-ridden Admistration in US history. They all walk around in suits so tight, they look like constipated penguins, not warriors.

I read that it’s designed to force black men out. Something about sickle cell disease, which happens predominantly in black men and causes razor bumps. I do remember reading years ago about the military permitting facial hair in medical cases. I wonder what Hegseth will come up with to get women out

Is Trump (aka nuclear bomb Fat Man) going to drop 80 lbs and prove he is also be unable to do a pull-up like Little Boy Peet? Vance better shave that beard because Little Boy Peep thinks facial hair is offensive.

That's ALL you got from that? Fitness and grooming standards? Not the murderous intent, the the declaration of them being subjects of the president and not the defenders of the Constitution? The man is thirsting for domestic war. You media clowns are worse than useless.

Hegseth to generals: "We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement." Someone please explain.

They should also not drink themselves into thinking they will not be held responsible for all of this s**t once this regime is toppled. "Just following orders" won't work this time. LOVED the looks on their faces as PEDOTUS and Kegsbreath tried to lecture them!

Just before WW2, Stalin purged some of his best Generals for not being loyal enough, of course he was paranoid. Now,Trump is doing the same thing to his military command. Stalins insanity cost millions of Russians their lives. Let's hope Petey doesn't do the same to the USA he was only a radio jock

That’s what you are going with? Not the threat to American cities and citizens? Not the avowal to commit war crimes and be unfit for civil society? Countries need to fence in our bases. The Secretary of Defense has promised soldiers they can be monsters.

Because we all know that a General should be judged on their looks, rather than if they can actually strategize, plan and lead troops into a military operation. This is so damn bonkers - someone who was wounded on the battlefield can be run out of the service, regardless of their capability.
