Is it not obvious that Trump has hired incredibly incompetent people for every position ? He needs total breakdown of every visible system so he can declare Marshall law . Easiest way is to hire a bunch of idiots . Even if he died tomorrow, we may be unrecoverably f***ed
A dozen out of 900 General Staff. Hegseth can't cut too deep without tanking moral, even worse than it is. If he starts seriously hacking and slashing, those boys and girls will consider a coup. I'd be surprised if there's not already talks of contingency plans if Trump tries nukes. Whatever one thinks of the US military, dipshits don't get that star on their shoulder, and they don't get it by playing partisan politics.
From what I’ve pieced together here and there, the sole reason he did this is because the orange pedo felon doesn’t want to have to stand near African Americans or women during events. Thats it. Apparently the shit Cheeto also refers to black people as “boogers” (I believe I read that in the Trump files. Epstein was talking to someone and said to make sure not to get any black girls because “Trump can’t stand them and calls them booger”)
The problem with lack of promotion, and the problem with lack of education and bigotry is that we will need every decent mind and body available if we want to pull out of our current trajectory. Looking forward to the end times is a self fulfilling prophecy.
If only there was something the Republican Party could do, with full support of the Democrats and Independents, to end all this! If only!
Pathetic fuckwits. They're not scared of making him angry, they FULLY support everything he's doing, and just talk shit to cover their asses. If they actually cared, they wouldn't be cowering like the worthless fuckstains they are.
As a non-American, it disgusts me to see what America has become really. I mean I'm sure you guys understand. I know a lot of Americans hate this too. But man. You're becoming the thing you helped fight against back in WW2. It's happening so slowly, and there's too many people in power that want it to happen, that it feels very difficult to overcome. But I think you guys, maybe of all people, can figure out a way to solve this problem. "The eyes of the world are upon you."
As a non-American i feel surely one of these generals could just start with a well timed punch in the face to one of the nazi losers who have weasled their way into power by manipulating the stupidity and ignorance of the uneducated masses
And bereft of morality, competency and empathy. I’m a USAF Vet and can tell you the military needs leadership with all of those, plus the intelligence yoù note he lacks,
A reminder that Randy George enlisted in 1982 and made E5 before the Army sent him to West Point in 1984... he has been an infantry officer his entire career and has a CIB with a star on it and a very rare mustard stain on his jump wings (Iraq, 2003 with the 173 PIR)... he has been in over 40 years and Hegseth should not be allowed to shine his jump boots....
Pete is causing critical damage to our military, firing experience is not a good idea. Armed forces live and die on their experienced people being there in the command structure.
I'm almost certain it's intentional, but I'm still hung up on the end goal. We all have a couple theories cookin', but they do so much stupid shit that it's hard to believe they actually have one.
The military is seen as a threat... by definition they have pledged to sacrifice their lives to defend the US Constitution... something none of them would ever do... they see them as simps, suckers and losers (to quote the orange child rapist).
Respectfully, can you verify if I'm right - for those who have not served? E5 = sergeant CIB = Combat Infantry Badge (and significance of star?) mustard stain on jump wings = Parachuted into combat
E5 is sergeant. It is pretty rare for enlisted to transfer to west point. They usually to a regular green to gold transition. Enlisted going through west point is a pretty big deal. CIB is a combat infantryman badge and a star means they earned a second one. A person can have up to 3 stars. Mustard stain on the jump wings is a bronze star indicating a combat jump. Those are super rare even after Iraq/Afghanistan. So yeah the dude was an infantryman's infantryman.
BTW I once met a guy with three mustard stains. He was a WWII vet. He only had 5 jumps on record (usually the standard for airborne school) he transferred into the unit right before they got sent over from Britain. He had 2 training jumps and the next 3 jumps were all combat jumps.
I went thru Infantry Basic with a drill sergeant who had one for Panama with the 2nd Ranger Battalion, had a Platoon Sergeant in USAREUR who got one in Grenada with 1st Bn...
They are super rare... there are a few famous people with three... most famously CPT Lewis Nixon of the 506th PIR, who did both 101st jumps in WW2 (Neptune/Market Garden) and one with the 17th ABN across the Rhine... some members of the 82nd got four (Husky/Avalanche as well as the previous).
No one in the US is going to fix the situation, the country's fucked. They go on the streets, announced, they complain a bit, then back to enslaving themselves to their employer overlords, waiting for Trump to die of whatever, as if Vance will not continue on the same path... The day for the Americans to raise up in arms against the government was yesterday...
A reminder that the US Army is a cult whose charismatic leader is the US Constitution and they will not do anything that goes against that master... we have civilian authority over the military, it will not act without civilian leadership giving the ok... and they definitely won't act against that civilian leadership.

You watch. As soon as Trump is successfully impeached and removed from office they’ll all turn against him and have a lot to say.

They’re also being fired bc they’re telling him a ground invasion is impossible and we’re killing too many civilians.

Only 600 jumped into Iraq.

Republicans in Congress are praising the fired General for his long service and expertise.
Not a one of them has called out Hegseth for firing him.
