I'm very excited that Pete Hegseth is starting the Department of Religious Affairs. Since he married two of his mistresses and his family still seems very religious, I assume his own affairs were very wholesome and religious.

He fires a bunch of highly respected forward thinking seniors leading service modernization efforts and instead brings in 83 year old Newt fucking Gingrich to study the future of warfare??? What a fucking clown show.

Hegseth unveils Project Meridian, naming Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich to co-lead the effort under the department's Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
Theodore Roosevelt expressed these views in a 1918 editorial published in the Kansas City Star, at a time when the United States was heavily engaged in World War I. The federal government had introduced measures such as the Sedition Act, which restricted certain forms of wartime expression and made criticism of the government potentially subject to criminal prosecution.
Although Roosevelt strongly supported America’s participation in the war, he openly challenged President Woodrow Wilson’s leadership and military policies. He maintained that unquestioning devotion to any president was incompatible with American democratic principles. In Roosevelt’s view, the president was an elected representative accountable to the people, not a ruler entitled to unconditional allegiance. He argued that genuine patriotism meant placing loyalty to the nation and its principles above loyalty to any individual leader, while preserving the right to question authority and demand accountability.

Has anyone ever correlated the rank achieved by SECDEF and the losers @Infantrydort, @CynicalPublius , etc and at what level they served? They all culminated at Platoon level despite future promotions. Yet here we are and now it makes sense
.@SECWAR "This is our first stop on what we are calling the SEND ME TOUR.
If you know your Book of Isaiah, Chapter 6, Verse 8, the Lord said, 'Whom shall I send?' Isaiah says, 'Lord, I AM HERE. SEND ME...'
For 250 years of this country, there have been men and women who RAISED THEIR RIGHT HAND and said, 'SEND ME.'
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE REDCOATS.
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE COMMUNISTS.
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS.
AND YOU ARE SAYING, SEND ME TO GO FIGHT WHATEVER THREATS THREATEN OUR NATION.'"

To military leaders among us: show us.
Show us how you’ve turned the personal torment of your earthly life into an operational art that can drive terror into the hearts of your enemies.
Show us, without telling us, that you were held back in some way in life. And now it’s made you a wildcat in the offense. Where your commander literally has to put a shock collar on you before you advance too far. But everything in your path is laid to waste when he lets it go.
Show us, without telling us, that you were exposed at some point in life. You stuck your neck out too far, and it cost you. And now it’s made you a lion in the defense. Enemies many times your size can’t break the impenetrable tactical fun house you’ve created for them.
Show us, without telling us, that you were burned for being too boisterous and open at some point in life. And now it’s made you a master of infiltration. Getting into the enemy’s support zone and they never realize it until it’s too late.
Show us, without telling us, that you were punished for not being imposing enough. Ridiculed for weakness perhaps. And now your initial shaping operations are loaded with shock, awe, and enough precision to get the job done in an unmistakable way. The enemy knows your name based on the way you execute preparatory fires.
Show us the pain of your life through the silence of your submarines, the flash of your cannons, the roar of your tanks, the glint of your bayonets, the scream of your jets, and the ominous hum of your drones
But most importantly, show us all that this journey you’ve taken in life has taught you to mitigate risk, not be crippled by it.
Junior leaders should be able to do the basics. But senior leaders should have more. True maestros in a symphony of destruction.
The U.S. military has avoided battlefield creativity for too long. All in an attempt to reduce everyone to mechanical pieces. This is not the way.
The way is pain, torment, suffering, redemption, and weaponization of it all.
Or are there too few of these types left? In a system that rewards personal perfection, is there enough pain and imperfection left in the formation to make a genius? Time will tell. And that right soon.
But to the leaders and politicians who keep asking, “What problem are we trying to solve by testing officers before they become generals and admirals?”
I have a better question:
What exactly are you afraid we might discover?

If you want to know why, partially, I left what used to be the GOP, here ya go. The other parts are fiscal, foreign policy, corruption, and other reasons but this racism impacts all of those other things and Ive had enough of this bullshit 'brown scare'. Fuck you @bofrench.
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.
