Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense

[Rotadom]

Is that an admission that you've realized how fucked up you are? Because it "sounds Greek to [you]?"

Or are you disparaging people because of their national origin?

Yes, folks. He just said that my saying that we were founded on democracy created by Greeks means the above.

Holy smokes.

Not my fault you've gone off the rails in your desire to "win" an internet argument.

There's no winning an argument with you. It's more about educating you for free entertainment.

 

[HisArpy]

There's no winning an argument with you. It's more about educating you for free entertainment.

You're spending way too much energy trying to do something you're totally failing at for it to be "entertainment."

Which makes it seem like you're trying to convince everyone that you can still compete in a pissing contest merely because your depends are full again.

Gotta think a mother knows her child better than a confirmation hearing calling him to answer their questions.

I'd go with her statement and act following it if I were there in the decision box.

It's the NATIONAL Cathedral, not your local cardboard box church.

BTW, Moses talked to God. That kind of makes him a Christian since other religions, for the most part, don't even acknowledge the existence of the Christian God.

Which makes one wonder; are you FUCKING STUPID or something?

By that logical deduction, Jews are Christians as well since Jews still pray like Moses. So we are all one body?

Muslims do. That is, they identify Allah with Yahweh.

 

[Politruk]

Hegseth will not commit to abide by the Geneva Conventions. Says deferring to "international bodies" is incompatible with an "America first" defense policy,

 

[jomar]

He pretty much disqualified himself but repubs are gonna hold their noses and confirm him because peer pressure. Then he’ll be in way over his head and yay more trump initiated chaos and incompetency to deal with.

ANYONE can talk to God, conversing with a higher power transcends religious affiliation.

Even I talk to God regularly....primarily to petition Him to grant the mercy of releasing HisArpy from his hellish wheelchair-bound existence, that he might "slip the surly bonds of Earth" and meet the hereafter he so richly deserves.

National Cathedral was built over 200 years after the founding fathers died.

"In God We Trust" wasn't added to American currency until after the end of the Civil War.

 

[PaxNurgle]

The decade of the shrill female Harpy is over.

Unfortunately we still have the MALE one, ie YOU, posting wayyy too often for your own good on this forum.

 

[Rotadom]

"In God we trust" didn't appear on money until 100 years after the founding fathers died.

How much more wrong could you possibly be?

"In God We Trust" wasn't added to American currency until after the end of the Civil War.

Yes, HisApry had another bad day.

 

[PaxNurgle]

The problem is, before that happens, how much damage will he do to the integrity of this country and our armed forces?

Or to our own citizens, should Trump decide to deploy the military against us?

If I was a senior officer serving in the military and he was in charge, I would do the honorable thing and resign in protest. If I was a senior officer serving in the military AND was a person of color, I'd resign... before I was forced to. If I was thinking of enlisting, with him in charge, I would have second thoughts. And this guy, an outspoken racist, misogynist, who believes in torture and does not abide in the Geneva conventions, has NO FUCKING BUISNESS being involved in the U.S. military in any way. This is a guy that Putin, Xi, or any number of third world despots would love to have on their side.

NOT in America. Every good senator or congressperson left, if there are any good ones left, should step up and shoot this guy down- now. This guy is scary bad news.

Because he's not shitting on the 98% for the sake of the feelings of the 2%?? LOL

Because he'll raise standards instead of lowering them like you guys??? LOL

You can't make this shit up....

Are you not entertained?
This celebrity has "Deux Vult" ("God wills it") and a Jerusalem Cross across his chest.
"Deux Vult" was the battle cry of the first Crusade on Jerusalem.

Hegspeth has been married three times since 2010, and has fathered three children and one bastard (a child he fathered out of wedlock by his Fox executive producer while married to his second wife). He later married the producer.

It's the Christian answer, uttered during the Crusades to the Islamic "ʾAllāhu ʾakbar." Remember he went to war with the same people as a soldier in the United States Army. You should be more respectful of his sacrifice in doing so.

Pete Hegseth will eclipse the intellectual failures of DEI General Austin who never had the stature of George C. Marshall who was a better general than he was a SecDef. Marshall's tenure was relatively short, only two years. He resigned due to disagreements over the administration's military strategy and his belief that the position required more time and attention than he could provide, given his other commitments. So he didn't have the stones to complete a full term. According to Foreign Policy Magazine, he isn't even on the list:

[Chernosoth]

He is a prime example of staying in his lane with appropriate knowledge and skills. He's a military guy. He is unlikely to have a career in relationship counseling.

 

[Politruk]

Never mind the drinking, Hegseth's association with Concerned Veterans for America should be enough to disqualify him -- it's a Koch Brothers network organization that wants to privatize the VA.

This cannot be repeated often enough.

 

[Rightguide]

This cannot be repeated often enough.

You lie a lot and assume everything.

 

[Politruk]

You lie a lot and assume everything.

I'm not lying about Concerned Veterans for America.

The Koch network funds the nonprofit group Concerned Veterans for America.[143][144][145] The group favors privatizing the Veterans Administration, or as the organization describes it, converting the VA into an "independent, government-chartered nonprofit corporation". The goal is opposed by Veterans Service Organizations such as the American Legion and the Paralyzed Veterans of America.[146]

Anybody who has any connection with the Koch network should be disqualified from any public office.

[PaxNurgle]

I am not saying he is a good soldier. I am not saying that he's wrong to want a military that is mentally tough and prepared to fight the nation's enemies.

But the man is an avowed and outspoken racist- this isn't the 1920's anymore people, and he IS wrong to want a military to fight for our country that is strictly White, Anglo-Saxon males. I mean, it's like the dude is like stuck in the 1860s and thinks he's fighting for the Confederacy or something.

No way will Hegseth ever equal Austin, intellectually or otherwise.
