Scenario: Senior NCO hazes a junior NCO. On a mission, the senior NCO finds himself in a difficult position. The same hazed junior NCO sees his senior NCO struggling but decides not to help him. Not a textbook case but the lesson is that actions have consequences. Is this what you want to promote?

Back to this bull$#!+ again. He’s removing the very behavior that sows division in the ranks. How is this going to benefit building a culture of teamwork, trust and leadership?

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.

Rules haven't stopped anyone in the military from hazing or raping. But that's not going to help the U.S. win a war. Longer drought than the #DallasCowboys.

If you let people get bullied they will shoot up the school. There was just a mass shooting on a military installation and his idea is to let people be hazed? I'm sure he gets the suicide reports. I'm sure he gets the sexual assault domestic abuse and rape reports from the military branches.

This is how you force people in the military with morals to either get out or cross the line & commit crimes, by setting psychos on them. They've already padded the service with FoxedUp dumbasses. I had 2 boyfriends from private schools who experienced hazing that left them scarred.

I still remember hearing a few racial slurs during the “woke” era. I guess now they won’t pretend to be joking. I’m curious to hear how this abrupt change affects troop readiness and if it’s possible to go back if it’s catastrophic.

So this is what we’ve come to, an alcoholic former talk show host from a faux news network trying to rebuild our Armed Forces into his vision of a fighting force! He probably wrote his plans and speech on a cocktail napkin.

Hegseth's speech is code for "brutality and cruelty" are now the new "warrior ethos" in the U.S. military. These men are fascist traitors and criminals. We must invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump and his entire cabinet before it is too late. I've read they are attempting a coup.
