Badger and Skinny Pete Play Soldier


From ABC News:

Hegseth rails against 'woke,' lays out standards in speech to top generals, admirals
The president echoed Hegseth's sentiments in a long-winded speech.


In a speech Tuesday morning before an auditorium packed with several hundred of the nation's most seasoned military commanders, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for an end to "woke" culture in the military and railed against a litany of complaints such as diversity and probes into hazing.

"The era of politically correct, overly sensitive, don't-hurt-anyone's-feelings leadership ends right now," Hegseth said at the gathering at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia -- a secure site an hour south of the nation's capital...

He demanded no more "fat generals," saying all service members would need to meet fitness tests and grooming standards.

"No more beardos," he said. "The era of unacceptable appearance is over."...

"Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,' but not anymore," he said...

He told his audience that if all the new standards he has unveiled makes their "hearts sink," then they should resign...

Trump followed Hegseth with his own speech, saying that as president, he would have their backs and that he is committed to making the military "stronger, tougher, faster, fiercer and more powerful than it 
has ever been before."

The president argued the military's job is not only to protect the U.S from threats abroad, but also what he repeatedly referred to as a domestic enemy in American cities.

"I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military National Guard," said Trump, who claimed "We're under invasion from within."...

For the record, the ABC News article pushed back on exactly none of the great, whopping lies and overtly fascist rhetoric that Badger and Skinny Pete threw around in front of the brass.

The good thing I see is that we don't have to worry about whether the military will help the nazis. They will not. Also, we see there is no working plan to get them to do so. All that happened is that Hegseth set up a stage performance starring Hegseth that Trump horned in on. What the generals all ready knew was true is now confirmed true by direct observation. Presumably, there are a few generals who would share in the nazi project. They can certainly see this will not happen with Trump/Hegseth.
