My, that didn't take long, did it? Just over a year to crater the economy and shred America's reputation in the world.
We are now in the hands of a demented child-raping felon and his merry band of preening pinheads, craven cos-playing tv bullies, and money-grubbing leeches. They can't run anything, or build anything, or do literally anything right, but fear not—they'll just blow something up, or threaten an ally, or kidnap a family, or murder a citizen who dares speak out.
"With machismo, Christian nationalism and callousness toward the lives of US troops, they say, Hegseth’s puerile displays on TV are aimed at sating Trump’s desire for a warmonger worthy of the manosphere. This was reinforced by a lurid social media video that intersperses clips from Hollywood blockbusters such as Braveheart, Gladiator, Superman and Top Gun with Hegseth and real kill-shot footage of the attacks in Iran.
After leaving Princeton, Hegseth joined the US army national guard as an infantry officer. He later revealed in a book that he told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement.
Hegseth became chief executive of Concerned Veterans for America, a conservative advocacy group, but departed in 2016 amid allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety and personal misconduct.
In 2018 Hegseth’s mother, Penelope, sent him an email that said: “You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.” —The Guardian
A very special thank you to the spineless, toadying Republican Party, for turning America into this fascist shit show, and our military into a death squad for hire.
If you had half a brain, or an ounce of courage, you'd be mortified.
How I hope you reap what you have sown.

velcher,
the economy is far from "cratered" and the USA's standing in the world has never been higher than it is right now.

Hegseth is the ultimate cosplayer.
An Infantry officer with no Ranger tab.
A cabinet secretary* who never even commanded a Company while in uniform (I did, twice, but if asked would turn down SECDEF as I’m not properly qualified).
He skipped about 8 layers of management, basically.
*I didn’t say leader because he isn’t one. I would take a poor one; he doesn’t even get that paltry assessment.

Ranger Rick,
You were undoubtedly the kind of company commander as depicted in "Heartbreak Ridge" who is the adversary to Gunny Sgt. Highway.
A douchebag.
Amazing you weren't fragged by your own troops.

Would you cut the personal remarks Marco. It looks like you're out of ammo.

Bombast and bullshit are the only tools in his toolkit. Don’t expect a sudden burst of humanity.
Not gonna happen.k
