      Speak for yourself, I would have paid DIRECTLY to the defense department to put Hegseth on stage in front of hundreds or thousands of career military professionals from all walks of life and all branches of our highest levels of defense planning and strategy so they all get to see him in person for what he is, a wannabe TED-talking, sound-bite spewing grifter civilian with no leadership qualifications past running a podcast. Telling them each “how it’s going to be” in a sad, rambling, uninspired, chat-GTP written lecture that you would expect from a CEO of a silicon valley startup hungup on military aesthetics.

      There is no better way to ensure that every competent and concerned armed-forces leader is on the same page as getting them all in a room together to listen to these clowns perform their circus act.

      If it comes to it, we do not win revolutions without the military. We need this kind of performance.

        Hey hey… he’s not a civilian… for two weeks out of the year he is a citizen soldier.

        A citizen soldier that just called all of the top military brass pussies to their faces.

        Is it still considered a fragging if he’s a lower rank than them?
