    I disagree. An email wouldn’t have captured the full scope of Hegseth’s immaturity and desperation. Now, all our military leaders have seen it first hand. Well done.

    The drunk TV guy with a make-up room tells generals he wants manly men. Did I get that right?

    The best part was “You’re not allowed to do that (laugh)”, said by a guy who tried to invade Chicago.

      And because it wasn’t an email, they can share their discontent in person with each other without being spied upon.

    This was distraction. The main reason for the meeting was to galvanize the troops for world war 3.

    The best part is that both him and trump prepared a “funny” speech with pauses for cheers and applauses but were too stupid to realize the difference between a military meeting (listening in silence at blank face) and a political rally (cheering at whatever you say, even if it doesn’t make sense)

    Those generals agree with 80% of what was said and will 100% follow whatever orders come down. Just because they grimace at stupid meetings doesn’t mean they are the peoples’ friends.

      They’re all 4-star general West Point graduates. They do not agree with 80% of the speech, and whether they’ll follow orders is not a given. There is a balance of power at play.

      No one is “the people’s friend” and that’s not the point. Some of these guys believe in nothing but power, but a significant number are also constitutional ideologues. And both of those groups among the generals know their power is both at risk and so is the constitution. And this meeting has been largely been disliked according to reporters among all of them.

      Pete Hegseth is completely retarded.

      A lot of black men have pseudofolliculitis, which causes bumps, scarring, and rash on their faces from daily shaving. Black men are a big portion of people that request the shaving waivers in the military.

    I’m convinced what we saw was just a distraction for the public.

    They definitely did the more nefarious shit off camera.
