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

AQ

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.

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.

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.

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.

AQ

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.
