| Is he still babbling on? I want to know when they are dismissed so I can feel a bit safer. Every plane overhead freaks me out |
| They brought the entire military top brass for this? Make this make sense. |
They just wanted to feed their egos by proving they can order flag officers around. It’s insulting. |

Hegseth... is fine with his son getting bullied and hazed.
Got it. |
They serve to protect the Constitution of the United States — against all enemies: foreign and domestic. Right now, the supposedly “democratically elected” civilian leadership of the country appear to be domestic enemies of the Constitution. Whether anyone now employed by the government decides to stay or decides to resign should be guided by their assessment of their ability to protect the Constitution. There’s an amendment in there just for this type of situation — well, for the parts of this situation that involve people unable to fulfill their oaths of office properly. Yes, “properly” is carrying a lot of weight and value judgements here — as does the Constitution. |

Hegseth... wants the military to revert to the 1990s.
Only women who can pass the highest male standards will be allowed to join/stay. |
Thread winner! |
| He’s done, thank goodness. Hoping they disperse and reduce chance of DC bombing |
This perspective makes a lot of sense. If it’s true, hopefully it means that Vance will have it out for Hegseth and will find a way to get him removed. Matthew Gertz @MattGertz I think my takeaway from this speech is that Pete Hegseth is going to challenge JD Vance for the GOP nomination in 2028, and my takeaway from recent anonymous leaks about Hegseth is that Vance knows it. |
Have you read the book by Mary Trump — Donald’s niece, who is a licensed psychologist? |
That works out not so great when you’re doing a ton of your warfare in highly gender segregated societies, as we learned in the early 2000s. |
I’m sure that he gets enough at home. |
A man (Hegseth) who supports church leaders discussing repealing the 19th amendment should NOT be president. You do not take away a woman's basic right to self defense. Hegseth is anti freedom. |
Standards? Appearance based standards and outright sexism. How men look and lets get rid of women. I'd expect nothing more from a Fox news host and this admin. It's all about appearances and BS and not about quality or competence or real substance. FFS If you are on board with these morons, you are part of the problem. This country is going into the toilet and these guys are worried about beards. |
