    This is a good read and its more than just beards. All right men we are going to be running this department of war the way jesus would…:

    “But over 45 minutes, a very animated Hegseth railed against what he called “stupid rules of engagement” in the military, cited Jesus, talked up his book, and repeated a litany of talking points.”

      Wait, what was that about “stupid rules of engagement”? He and Trump want them changed to allow full fire on US civilians, don’t they? Fuck this shit.

        OMG! Im listening to it and he is going on about lowered requirements like its dei and I know people who have been in the military. What lowers requirements is needs. Guy gained weight till they kicked him out. Would not have worked during war time. They have been big on drone operators and that has done a lot because they want the best person to pilot the drone not look good doing it. Its like a right leaning plan for last millenium.

        They need to tear shit up. Regardless if its the enemy or friendly fire or civilians. Whats important is the violence, not the objective. People need to be afraid. The enemy, our friends, our citizens, even our military. We. All of us. NEED to be pissing ourselves.
