Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, the era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos ... if you don't meet the male-level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position."https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3m22k7bx...I guess beards don't comport with the Aryan ideal. But what about those Vikings in Valhalla, asks Patel?

"Today, at my direction, the era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos ... if you don't meet the male-level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position."
Literally the ultimate "This could have been an email" meeting. Instead of spending tens of millions of dollars, and bearing the security risks, to pull the entire top command layer of the entire global U.S. military away from their posts and so they can physically be in a single room to hear the Secretary tell them "no beardos and no fatties."

The email is step one. If the people in the room were doing it, there'd be no need for the meeting.
So why do you think there'd be a need for the meeting?

Anyone ever see a picture of those Navy Seals that killed Bin Laden. I guess they are not qualified for their positions?
I知 writing a speech. It starts with 的 have a dream that my military will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the trim of their beards but by the content of their character, or perhaps the ability to get the job done." It痴 not quite right yet, but I知 still working on it.

Perfectly obvious.
So Hegseth could have a photo op of him lecturing all of those woke and lazy generals.
FOMOTrump- same thing.

I am so loving it that BoneSpurs horned in on WhiskeyLeaks's moment of glory. An hour and ten minutes, he rambled. All-around, a show of the you-know-what variety. Priceless.

Yeah. Couldn't possibly be to...make the address and let them know change was coming.

I知 sure the generals knew that going into today.
There was nothing new in what Hegseth said- but it was an opportunity for Hegseth to do his bad imitation of masculinity.
The generals were not impressed.
The golf claps prove it.

I'll bet J.D Vance is glad he's not in the military.

And the Pentagon and its legendary bureaucracy is known for instant compliance, amirite?

Don稚 care. Of course some fatty in the audience is going to be angry at having to drag his a$$ out of bed and actually set an example in front of his troops.
