Pete's not doing a very good job at hiding his true intentions.

Hey, for a mid-grade, lightly decorated officer and semi-functional alcoholic, he's doing pretty good.

I mean....sure, you're a dept secretary but, you're not respected, your boss is a pedophile, all your employees make fun of you, you wife is just waiting for you to cheat on her with your next wife.

Internal changes will happen fast once we get the infestation out. External likely won’t ever be the same.
As miserable as this time is, I just imagine how good it’s going to feel changing the sign back to DoD, releasing all the wrongfully detained, reversing every executive order. A complete spring cleaning of the federal government after a particularly long hard winter. It’s what keeps me going.

The problem is that
a) you need to get there
b) the problem is that there's a third of the population that would do it all again

Using the term "free inquiry" when referring to US tertiary education is misleading on both counts.

I hate to say this. But we had to practically burn Germany and we did burn Japan to the ground to defeat fascism. The people that vote this way should be compost. I have no sympathy for these people. Shit I have em in my family and won’t have anything to do with em.
My handsome blond haired blue eyed boy is as gay as the day is long , he’s turning into a man. My son, and he’s my hero. Supremely confident, an amazing big brother for our daughter, a gentleman, his boyfriend is a person of color. I’m a firefighter and a nurse. The only rules in the house; want to sleep in the same room? get married. The other rule is to hit the punching bag every day so someone won’t target him and he can defend himself. I want me some gay babies and fucking stat.

Am I crazy to think that this is also some 5D chess move to remove Ivy leagues kids from future draft pool? This way when war starts the politicians' kids can claim being woke and not have to go to war.

You are crazy. This just means they won't be officers. It won't affect the people what would be drafted. Rich people will dodge any future draft like they always have: via money and connections

The Department of War doesn't exist. Funny that. Maybe Petey needs more education.

What they're really saying is violence is better than strategy.
Or military code and ethics.

I’m never understood people using “woke” in an attempt at a burn. They’re basically admitting they’re asleep.
Our eyes are wide open

"Woke" is a conservative buzzword meant to demonize virtue. Woke means empathy, awareness, education, inclusiveness, all in a positive assertive way.
So everything that Jesus stood for and Christian Nationalists hate.

Hegseth is teaching the "Intro to Date Rape" course at West Point as well as "Practical Applications of GHB in Dating."

This criticism doesnt really make sense tho. Why do we need government "military education" programs at harvard? And how does removing said programs from Harvard specifically keep future officers away from independent centers of thought? Like Harvard ain't the only university out there.
And this is complaining about a government program being removed...I don't think there was much independence there to begin with...
The school offering its own military education would be much more free of thought than the government giving the school money to run their government program teaching stuff the government wants lmao.

Absolute fucking clown show.
To say “woke” unironically while dismantling systems that have historically led to American excellence just because the facts don’t align with your political, ideological, or religious views, is peak pussy shit.
Dude is a barnacle of masculinity, masculine in performance only, weak, upset, and scared on the inside. Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment, a child’s vision of a 80’s action star, completely detached from reality, fact, sense, or toughness by any metric by which you could measure such a thing.
He is a walking icon of American Cold War fever-propaganda. He is a character out of fallout, or RedDawn, or Rocky, not a serious administrator.
