What Do You Think Went Through The Minds Of Those 800 Generals Today?...With A Drunk Rapist And Racist Fox News Host Like Pete Hegseth Lecturing Them?

Well, service members can speak most clearly. But from what I've read, I'd guess.....greater than the usual disgust at civilian leadership.

Spent their lives doing what they do, and now they're told "you're fat and woke. Agree with the civilian president on everything political or GTFO".

It's a betrayal of their lives' purpose.
 

Hegseth Announces War Department Reforms in Sweeping Speech to Top Military Brass​


Secretary of War Pete Hegseth today announced a series of new directives aimed at strengthening the War Department's people and culture during an in-person speech in Quantico, Virginia, to the U.S. military's most senior leaders.

"Good morning, and welcome to the War Department, because the Department of Defense is over," Hegseth said, noting the recent rebranding of the department emphasizes the military's requirement to ensure peace by preparing for war, and that the American people deserve a military that will win any war it chooses or that's thrust upon it.

"The topic today is about the nature of ourselves because no plan, no program, no reform [and] no formation will ultimately succeed unless we have the right people and the right culture at the Department of War," Hegseth told the group.

He added that, in his eight months on the job, he has learned the best way to take care of troops is to give them good leaders committed to the War Department's warfighting culture.
"Not perfect leaders [but] good leaders; competent, qualified, professional, agile, aggressive, innovative, risk-taking, apolitical [and] faithful to their oath and to the Constitution," Hegseth emphasized.

Stating that the military has been forced to focus on the wrong things by misguided politicians for too long, Hegseth said that he's made it his own mission to uproot the obvious distractions that have made the War Department less lethal in past years.

"The new War Department's golden rule is this: do unto your unit as you would have done unto your own child's unit. … Standards must be uniform, gender-neutral and high. If not, they aren't standards, they're just suggestions," Hegseth said.
 
There's bound to be a couple who.were yeah, I'm down with that and are already cult members.

There's bound to be a chunk o' sheeple who.will trim with the wind.

The rest must be wtaf though I.doubt we will hear much about their response at this time.

Active service members really aren't allowed to speak out though, are they?

That's the best attempt at saving face you could come up with?

You cited a press relese from the department Hegseth controls under Trump, which praises Hegseth and Trump, and you did it as a *gotcha*.

That's the ****ing dumbest thing I've ever seen. If it said anything different, everyone involved would be fired

Look at the messenger.....meaningless words.

The greatest speech in the world means nothing if no one respects you.....and none of those generals and admirals respect a drunk ****-up like Pete Hegseth.

Republicans sure can pick 'em.

It appears as though the government of our mentally ill, draft-dodging, convicted felon is about to collapse.

As a Marine Corps vet, I simply can't imagine, other than a lot of laughter held back.

This is the government chosen by Republicans who shall remain silent.

Trump and Hegseth made complete fools of themselves.

They WANT them to quit in disgust.

It's an attempted decapitation of our own military leadership, so they can replace them with their guys.

Trump is a draft-dodger. He hates the military. Republicans made him President, so today Trump is allowed to use the military as pawns and cause an idiot like Hegseth to lecture generals.
 
The US military needs to fight the enemy within, using our cities as practice for overseas warfare? Sounds like a cross between Senator Joe McCarthy and William Keitel, head of the Nazi armed forces in occupied Europe.

He especially hates vets injured in the line of duty. I don’t see how any vet could possibly support him.
