It’s also a demonstration of power - Hegseth is reminding them, and all of us, that he CAN summon them. I don’t know how wise of an idea I think that is. Not sure I’d want to incentivize the military brass to start thinking about how to organize against my “leadership.” |
|
wait - I thought you called him “whiskey Pete” and promised he was about to get fired months ago.
You were not lying to us, were you? |
That’s not what it’s telling me. It’s telling me he is bush league and cry baby who needs to show people who’s boss because his ego is bruised. What risk is involved in this circus show? 1) if it is just for show and dressing down then it’s embarrassing, it can be done by video conference without the security risks 2) if there is a real threat, bringing them all to one place is an even bigger risk. It’s just another day of circus acts and chaos. |
| It's complete lunacy. I wouldn't put it past Hegseth to push for this on his own to remind them that he's in charge, but I can also see this being something that Trump suggested Hegseth do. "Pete, you really should get those generals and all the top guys here. Gotta remind them who's in charge. Just call them back. You gotta be firm with these guys or they don't know you mean business. You know, they say this is what they do in North Korea and look at the loyalty there." |
| For all Hegseth's womanizing and philandering, he gives off a lot of small d*** energy. God save us from all these insecure men who control our country. |
It could be both. He could have demanded it of Petey and then the dementia made him completely forget it. Of course, he could also demand it and deny it so that only Petey gets thrown under the bus. Or JD and Petey went rogue. All plausible. |
- though it was “short man energy” you leftists harp about? |
Why are you radical right wing lunatics so insecure? Do you have small D or short man insecurities yourself? |
The energy is the same, as you likely well know. |
| He is spending millions to fly in actual military leaders to tell them about his cartoon version of warriorhood? The generals will need all their strength just to endure the idiotic event. |
|
I cannot imagine how much generals and admirals loath Hegseth. He is clearly the worst SecDef in the history of this country.
I mean spending millions to bring all these generals and admirals to sit in a room and listen to a ball of alcoholic hair gel lecture them about the "warrior ethos" or "lethality" is ridiculous. The Republican Party is beyond pathetic. The GOP is North Korea at this point. |
Have you never worked in corporate? This is a retreat where they will lift huge rocks, climb rope ladders, and have a keg toss competition. It was probably kept secret so they could get Kid Rock to play during the open bar. |
|
What would Patton do?
Not this. |
| Is he a functional alcoholic? Can’t imagine this tool isn’t downing shots during the day. What’s in the big coffee tumbler he totes around? Regardless, he’s a still a dysfunctional dbag. |
