Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Orders Force-Wide Review of Existing Fitness and Grooming Standards

[Robert W]

But intact good looks and serenity look great on dead bodies .
Tremendous pictures for Langley propaganda .

Attention to detail is the secret to success .
If the Chinese think all Americans are beautiful and God like they might not turn up to fight .
Go for it Pete .

In combat, no matter the dress code, the war ruins uniforms.

The U.S. military, specifically the Army, Navy, and Air Force, has faced significant recruiting challenges, failing to meet goals in recent years, particularly in 2022 and 2023.

This is why I don't do AI overviews.... I actually scroll down into the actual articles.

The name if military bases should never have been changed to begin with

Um, yeah, they should have. There was no point honoring BAD generals who tried to destroy the union. I mean, I guess the North won because Benning and Bragg were so fucking incompetent, so that was a good thing.

As for black history month its way over the line for a color blind society

Is there a Anglo Saxon history month?

Or a chinese, korean or Armenian history month?

Asian & Pacific American Heritage Month

Paying tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America's history and are instrumental in its future success.

General Patton after the devastating loss at Kasserine Pass in Tunisia where the U.S. lost more than 7,000 men:
"You want to know why this outfit got the hell kicked out of it? A blind man could spot it. They don't act like soldiers; they don't look like soldiers; why should they be expected to fight like soldiers?"

Military discipline isn't just for show. And, after Patton re-established it in Tunisia, coupled with his brilliant strategies, the U.S. obliterated the next German assault

Patton was the kind of General who would lead troops to winning battles even were the troops dressed as bums.

Biden was an idiot for changing names. I was at Ft Benning in the Army and it will forever be known as the base I served at, at least by me. Who the hell knows what name it got from Biden who was from Delaware anyway.

In combat, no matter the dress code, the war ruins uniforms.

So, parade immaculate looking dead soldiers in non combat areas . Like a washing powder relaunch.

Next to weeping children or a dog sitting silently beside them .

Bring back a great American war image .
Losers perhaps . But such great losers .

Wow, this is why you shouldn't get your history from movies.

George C. Scott was not Patton.

Patton actually had quite the mousy voice.

Further, while the US took horrendous casualties at Kasserine, it was ultimately an Axis defeat. Rommell knew he was overextended and was in the process of withdrawing from North Africa.

Actually, even Hegseth didn't change it back to the Confederate guy.

He found the name of some obscure enlisted man of the same name.

He didn't think so. I think he was right.

General George S. Patton: "You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things."

Also: "There is only one sort of discipline - PERFECT DISCIPLINE. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline."

Also: "No sane man is unafraid in battle, but discipline produces in him a form of vicarious courage."

Also: "If you can't get them to salute when they should salute -- and wear the clothes you tell them to wear -- how are you going to get them to die for their country?"

Also: "It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle."

This short article pretty much sums up requirements for military dress and grooming:

I own Patton's genuine book on this stuff. I will look it up to see if he claims he said that. George Scott was winning awards as an Actor.

Precisely. He is very smart. I still don't know the first name of the original Benning. I served over time at Ft. Ord (who is that) at Ft. Benning (who was that) Ft. Dix (who was that) Ledward Barracks (who was he) (Conn Barracks). I mean Biden went nuts changing names. Yet Democrats despise the name of the Gulf of America.

I'm pretty sure all those quotes aren't necessarily from his book. Some may be. Those quotes were not from the movie but were attributed to Patton himself.

~~~~~~
But, he certainly played the role well.
While no matter what you say General Patton's leadership was key in winning WW2 against Nazi Germany.
Without Patton, the "Battle of the Bulge" would not have been an ultimate win for Allied forces.

Something else now openly on TV are the huge numbers of blacks dominating commercials and TV programs.

Thats lib social engineering through DEI

You were obviously brainwashed and misinformed at an early age

The ex-Confederates swore allegiance to the Union and many later served honorably in the US Army

Thats a relief

I was worried about overlooking the asians even if they are poor step children to black people in the special treatment department

Do they do that in England?

There is a silver lining to that “black” cloud

The black characters are nothing like the ghetto characters used in the 1980’s

Instead of gold teeth and pants so low the cracks of their ass showing we see educated, civilized suburban blacks

This is a positive influence even if unintended by lib advertizers

Joe has never been to the Manassas area where Lincoln invaded VA. I was at both sites near Manassas VA. Made me appreciate what the South did. Abe got whipped both times there.

I stopped over 20 years ago calling them Liberals. It is like calling your girlfriend a whore. They need to be recognized as Authoritarians. I first heard of this from some poster who laid out why they are not liberal. It made sense so I now say what he told me.
