I can’t believe the military is letting itself be bullied by some Fox News loser.

Right? Thought it was Army Strong not Army bend over and assume the position

As long as they are smooth and have high-T, Pete’s into it.

Really? Given how I've seen the US military conduct itself in my lifetime I find that very easy to believe. They'd never get bullied by a human rights advocate or an academic or most civilians, but they've been rolling over for right wing ghouls and dipshits for over twenty years.

you are 100% right…

Now prepare yourself for the barrage of people here who'll tell you those military commanders are the real victims and it's best they hold on and continue the murdering spree because killing innocent people on orders but not being happy about it, actually makes them the good guys

ps: I DO think the ones who questioned orders are the good ones… I'm talking about the ones who roll over to fascism without any resistance

Stop 'questioning orders' and start acting on your oath to destroy all enemies of the US foreign and fucking domestic. Idly following the orders of a domestic enemy isn't a good look - engage that fucker the same way you do any other enemy of the US.

This is literally your job.

ousted by Pete Hegseth for questioning unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral orders

Fixed headline

This article suggests there is consolidation of power occurring. I'd like to remind folks of Hegseth's tattoos: Deus Vult and the Jerusalem Cross, among others. I'd guess he's purging the military to his own religious standard.

You elected a clown.
