disgraceful.

Show some respect for once.

They got what they voted for.

As far as being stranded in DC, they'll fly out on their own dime and get reimbursed once the government opens back up.

Plenty of retired officers endorsed Democrats at our conventions. There are some Wesley Clark types out there.

which is great for military strategy but bad according to MAGA

I met him on the campaign trail and called him by his Call Sign when he was in the First Infantry. He looked stunned that anyone would remember trivia from 35 years earlier.

tRump for what & who he is. A lying piece of shit. They know bullshit when they see and smell it. It's right there in front of them. AND they do not trust Putin. AND they do not like pedophiles.

For every General Michael Flynn there are probably a hundred like General Mark Milley.

are likely anti-Trump. Does anyone really think these people are Trump Supporters?

Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown Jr.: Fired as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on February 21, 2025.

Adm. Lisa Franchetti: Dismissed as the Chief of Naval Operations on February 21, 2025. She was the first woman to lead the U.S. Navy.

Gen. Timothy Haugh: Fired as head of both the National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S. Cyber Command in April 2025. He had served in intelligence and cyber operations for over 30 years.

Gen. Jeffrey Kruse: Fired as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in August 2025. This occurred after the DIA reportedly contradicted White House claims about Iran's nuclear facilities.

Adm. Linda Fagan: Fired as Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. She had been the first woman to hold the position.

Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force: Gen. James Slife was also dismissed in February 2025.

Lt. Gen. Jennifer Short: The top military assistant to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was relieved of her duties in February 2025.

Gen. Mark Milley: His security detail and clearance were revoked in February 2025, and his portrait was removed from the Pentagon. Milley, a retired Army general who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Trump's first term, had become a vocal critic of him.

we are all about to find out, just how deeply the MAGA Republican Party has infiltrated the U.S. Military, National Guard, and Reserves.....

I think it's an assumption that something "macho" about the "military" means all vote Republican, since they lean heavily into hyper-machismo imagery (having some serious insecurities around masculinity in general, it seems).

It's always anecdotal, but I have two living veterans in my family - husband and brother-in-law, both Democrats. A close friend, career military, supported GW Bush is registered Independent, but votes Democrat. Past veterans include my father and father-in-law - Democrats.

I think it might be new recruits from certain backgrounds who were already Republican-leaning and overlap with Republicanism.

A good turn of phrase. Applied to some platoon sergeants, master sergeants, and first sergeants too.

…..

Spec 4's seemed to be an interesting group. Some were very gung-ho, clearly wanting to become sergeants while others acted like that was the last thing they wanted. Men of both types could be good soldiers and had the potential to be good NCOs, and I appreciated that some of the Spec 4s definitely questioned "the system" and the way things were done.

this ability to summon all of the military brass makes his bitty mushroom peepee have a little spasm

Somewhere in the recesses of his addled, fucking brain, the motherfucker knew he fucked up.

He inherited a fortune, but only if he could burn through millions in a matter of days.

Kraznov is bankrupting our country with this bs.

And just wait till the ICE lawsuits land squarely on the backs of taxpayers.

Ty for sharing.



On edit: film is very funny. Current scenarii not at all.

left my mouth agape at the hubris and smarmyness of both djt and Hegseth.

I don't know how that many generals were able to sit still vs run up there and beat his face in, making Kegsbreath watch and wait his turn to get his.

From https://combatoperators.com/expert-analysis/tabs-of-the-us-army/ :

Tabs of the United States Army refer to the cloth and/or metal arches used to display a word or words signifying a special skill worn on U.S. Army uniforms. Those tabs are used to identify a unit’s or a soldier’s special skill(s) or are worn as part of a unit’s unique heritage. Individual tabs are also worn as small metal arches above or below medals or ribbons on dress uniforms.

🤨

...seating was determined at least partly by looks.

That said, long-serving military officers seem to keep up with their fitness practices. More of them will be able to pass the twice a year test than anyone Trump has hired.

to overthrow this regime and restore democracy.

but would a military coup be preferable to a dictatorship?

over a career conman criminal and a chief lobbyist for tech billionaires. I think of our presidents who have served in the military from WWII on and they were pretty honorable.
(Nixon and W get an asterisk. HW squeaks by)

I think the vast majority of guys in the audience today have our nation's best interest in mind. I should say the PEOPLE in the audience if women are still allowed in the officer corp.

I’m sure that did not go unnoticed by K. Many of whom have endured harassment and rape to get where they are.

to be told they're only there because of DEI by one of the two most unqualified people in the room. The other being a rapist himself.

…and it never stops!

it's hard to imagine being judged by these two rapists, one of whom is a draft dodger and seditionist

due in part to all the BS men put them through. Women will take over when the rest of them stop catering to men.

Supports the sick F! Her brother does as well, retired Army and enlistment officer. The sickness is real. I am the odd one out in the family and am regarded as a peacenik mouth breather. They make me physically ill!

SHEER PROOF IT IS A CULT

and the ages.

President Queeg told Hegadeth to use the inner cities for war practice.

is NOT A FUCKING MILITARY TRAINING GROUND.

The Con Muntiny.

I like it.

to the analogy to Queeg. The tragedy of Queeg was that at one time he was a fine officer. One doesn't get promoted to O-6 by screwing up. The seeds of his insanity may always have been there, but he must have been able to keep them in check prior to his promotion to Captain. And then they got out. Bligh I don't know about - that was another nation's Navy and a very different time. But Queeg - and I know in the movie that was communicated, I'm sure intentionally, in the faces of the officers who comprised the Court Martial. there's pity there, and pain.

The Apricot Antichrist has always been who he is and I can't see a sane person feeling sorry for him.

I felt bad for Queeg. I don't feel anything but disdain for this narcissistic sociopath who hates America.

Perhaps one doesn't get promoted in the Navy for screwing up but evidently one can be elected President.

Nitpicky but Queeg was a Lt Commander (04) not an 06. The commanding officer of Navy ships are called captains regardless of their actual rank.

I have no objection to nitpicking. I've been known to do it myself.😉

Color me impressed.

Their oath is to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic".
I wouldn't want to be in Hegseth's shoes at that point.

... would be to get all the top brass together, in person, in the same place, at the same time. But that would never happen. Oh, wait...

I would not be surprised if there was some interesting water cooler conversation at this event, of a type that would not occur over any official lines of communications that might be able to be intercepted or preserved.

have been occurring to me for the past few days.

I just said this to a friend. You think these guys are not going to tap out this...A LOT?

This is from another thread. This is in what looks to be E-8’s (Black Diamond rank)

So much for the 2nd Amendment, Tree of Liberty and all that.
I wonder if the paranoia gives Trump bad dreams.

Am I wrong?

But I’d be surprised if they did allow any weapons in that room. There are a few patriots remaining.

Just love to sit and listen to a dumbass, chickenshit, draft-dodging sonofabitch tell them how it's going to be?

Just to clarify.

As a tabless beyotch infantry officer who got shuttled off to the purgatory of S-9.

But I was referring TO Trump in my post.

Just to clarify further - - - - I don't give a shit if Hegseth served. He obviously learned nothing from the experience. He has no honor. And that is the WORST insult someone can give to a person who did serve. NO HONOR.

who PIMPS for a drafter dodger rapist seditionist

On zoom or email, they could mute and be reading a book or not even look at email.

He wanted to force them to have to pay attention to him. Show them who was the power.

Putting all top military leaders at risk in case of a terrorist attack, especially since this was widely advertised in advance. For NOTHING.

Did the secretary bring generals and admirals in from around the world so he could treat them like a CPAC audience? Actually, yes, he did.

Why Pete Hegseth’s pitch to generals and admirals was even worse than expected

Hauled off blubbering with snot coming out of his nose for his crimes against the nation. Sort of like this.

Google him.

The Sergeant Major is wearing a long, blue one that designates that he is Special Forces qualified; the black and gold tab on the General's uniform designates that he's a graduate of Ranger School.

Both of these are referred to as tabs.

….

Which the fucking morons renamed to the Department Of War for some inexplicable reason.

and both are rapists, trashing women who serve

In addition to having an AR-15 tattooed on his arm.

who could know?

The fact that he is an enlisted man should not cause one to doubt his authority and his military experience.

I would wager even if some percentage is MAGA they still hold that they have taken an oath and will uphold that oath.

One is drunk and one is an Adderall freak. Hope the military squashes them like the bugs they are.

or the "this doesn't even qualify as mickey mouse or chicken shit" expression.
He was pissed.

That remains to be seen of course. DICKtater TRASHd💩mp may decide to have Blackwater (aka Triple Canopy aka Xi or some bogus shit) come in with their private security- militia-urban warfare tactics. Just like in RoboCop, except without the monster robots.
.

it's time to protect America's constitution and its citizens from domestic enemies. Now. Pronto.

hoping.) First thought it referred to females in the military. But after speaking with a serious left-wing friend, he suggested that maybe Kegseth was alleging that some military guys like to dress up when off duty...and that had to stop.

Anyone?

rages against general and flag officers over their political correctness, lack of attention to duty and physical fitness defects. This is the definition of "toxic leadership". If there is one positive result of this it will be that this massive insult may make it easier for them to refuse unlawful orders from Ranger Ramjet (Secretary of "War&quot and the Mango Mussolini.

And MARSOC, CCT and PJ pipe hitters.

I'm no history buff but knew that Weimar rung a bell. Sadly it appears to have been a failed initial attempt at a democratic republic in Germany following WWI which ultimately led to the rise of extremist movements. Historians out there please fill in any blanks but hopefully he will come to the same fate as the aforementioned Weimar. I haven't heard the "speech" yet but hope that wiser minds prevail.

FAFO, that's the WOKE of Fuck Around Find Out. These people are so fucking stupid.

wasn't a high ranking officer. He was a Chief Master Sargent in the US Air Force and a lifer. He was generally a conservative and his politics could best be described as aligned with Archie Bunker. Even so, he despised people like Donald Trump and would have been royally pissed to be ordered to sit through speeches by morons like Trump and Hegseth. He hated incompetence. Even though I miss him daily I'm glad he is not around to see the shit show this country has become and the idiot fuckup in the White House.

Technically, they were probably Command Chief Master Sergeants (same pay grade), accompanying their generals. Their main job was probably to keep their generals from jumping up and punching Hegseth in his stupid face.

I'm sure he sat through a lot of pointless meetings in his career.

It's an amazing feat of discipline none of them went up there and kicked his sorry fucking ass.

I remember when that total shitstain and tabless beyotch infantry officer went to Stuttgart and strutted around 10th Group Special Forces’s gym during morning PT like he was even vaguely qualified to be there.

Fuck that posing shitbag.
