prove that it is REALITY that YOU are talking about. PROVE IT!!!!!

You can't because data and facts cannot be found that support your beliefs

I already did, snowflake. Posted multiple links proving it.

Now, you prove that it's "not" hurting military preparedness. PROVE IT!!! You're the one who denied reality and made the outrageous claim. The onus is on you to prove it

 

[P@triot]

YOU are the one that needs to supply proof that the military has been favoring women, Blacks and gays.

Here is what I found in my research

AI Overview

Again, that's not "research". You have no link at all. You literally did not do any research. You could have totally made that up. Here, watch:

@Luckyone is a clown. He is known world-wide for making stuff up, denying reality, whining incessantly, and is prone to hyperbole. However, this issue is NOT subject of intense debate and controversy - both sides overwhelming agree that he has 0 credibility, 0 facts, and 0 common sense.

See how that works?

AI Overview

There is no evidence that the military has a policy of favoring women, Black people, or gay people simply because of their skin color and gender.

The evidence is DEI as I already proved in links from actual research papers. That's why you can't add anything of substance and instead are making stuff up under the guise of "AI Overview".

Here is the proof yet again...And again, it's self-evident that when you focus on skin color and gender instead of merit, then you're weakening an organization. It's weird that you're so proud to be racist and sexist here in 2025.

Hegseth (at Trump's urging) is removing "Woke" policies from the military but in an overly aggressive way!

AI Overview

The term "woke policies" is a politically charged and controversial phrase, primarily used by critics to label policies perceived as excessively progressive on issues of race, gender, sexuality, and social justice.

A very rare (and over the top) meeting was arranged where over 776 U.S. generals from all over the world (more than 400 of them being oversees) were brought in to Quantico at a very high cost.

Hegseth's mystery meeting in Quantico could cost millions, require unprecedented security​

Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of U.S. Army Europe, posted to X, referencing when Adolf Hitler summoned German generals in 1935 to swear a "personal loyalty oath to the Führer."

The meeting was arranged for this reason:

AI Overview

News reports from late September 2025 indicate that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and former President Donald Trump are moving forward with plans to assert political control over the U.S. military leadership. This includes significant firings of senior military officials and the forced attendance of hundreds of generals and admirals at a highly unusual meeting at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Critics have voiced concern that these actions are an attempt to install military leaders based on loyalty rather than merit, which could undermine the military's traditional apolitical nature.

Hegseth slams 'fat generals,' says U.S. officers should resign if they don't support his agenda​

• Trump's executive order renamed Department of Defense to Department of War

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed "fat generals" and diversity initiatives that he said led to decades of decay in the military and told a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday they should resign if they don't support his agenda.

Why is this likely to be the reason for this meeting?

Following the "Dictator's Guideline Book":

AI Overview

According to the political theory outlined in The Dictator's Handbook, a leader's ability to maintain power relies on a "winning coalition" of loyal and essential supporters. For dictators, this small but powerful group often includes the military, making their loyalty a prime requirement for survival.

Are we on the way for this to happen?

Here is my original though (and has been for 12 years).

Trump is an egomaniac that wants to be a Dictator but has so far and because of his incompetency, failed to accomplish it. Nonetheless, THIS year, he has had more success because he is following the Dictator's handbook more closely.

Nope

So many threads on today's meeting, most seem to be started by Leftist idiots and no-nothings and reek of bias and misinformation.

Here's a more objective source and perspective.

Trump, Hegseth Lay Out Culture, Policy Reforms in Address to Military Leaders​

The secretary of war called a gathering of U.S. generals, admirals, and senior enlisted troops to Marine Corps Base Quantico.
...
QUANTICO—President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sept. 30 addressed a gathering of hundreds of generals, admirals, and senior enlisted troops at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, to outline their efforts to reshape the military and reform its policies.

During his remarks, Trump highlighted improved recruiting and retention figures, increased defense spending, and plans to develop new weapons systems and capabilities, including the F-47 stealth fighter and an overhauled missile defense network.

“We’re investing tens of billions of dollars in modernizing our nuclear deterrence capabilities like never before, and we’ve begun construction on what we call the ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense shield. It would be the most sophisticated in the world,” Trump said.

Trump also announced that the U.S. Navy intends to build 19 new warships in the coming year.
....
The president’s remarks followed an address in which Hegseth emphasized a shift in military culture that eschews falling fitness and grooming standards, and so-called “woke” cultural agendas.

“The new War Department golden rule is this: Do unto your unit, as you would have done unto your own child’s unit,” Hegseth told the military leaders.

“Would you want him serving with fat or unfit or under-trained troops, or alongside people who can’t meet basic standards, or in a unit where standards were lowered so certain types of troops could make it in, in a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons other than merit, performance, and war-fighting? The answer is not just no, it’s hell no.”

Hegseth announced he has directed that all troops in combat roles will have to meet the highest male standards.

Further, Hegseth directed that the Department of War will no longer make exceptions to grooming standards across the military branches, such as allowing troops to wear beards.

“When you let the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes,” Hegseth said. “So you have to address the small stuff. This is on duty in the field and in the rear. If you want a beard, you can join Special Forces. If not, then shave.”

DO not get it! addressing the small stuff like shaving is more important than the big stuff.
Explain please.

I experienced second-hand embarrassment for him seeing "AI Overview" over and over and over. For starters, as amazing as AI is, it still gets a lot wrong. I mean, a lot. Even the most basic stuff. Second, it just screams that liberals truly have no ability to think critically or even form their own original thoughts.

AI is basically Wikipedia on steroids.

It regurgitates what it is fed.

Depends on what you ask. What was the question you asked of AI?

Bwahahahahaha!!! back at ya

AI Overview

Numerous right-wing figures and outlets, particularly in Hungary and the United States, have accused philanthropist George Soros of using his fortune and foundations to fund propaganda that promotes a liberal agenda
. However, these accusations are based on interpretations and are largely unfounded. Soros's Open Society Foundations (OSF) provide grants to groups that support human rights, democracy, and equity, often in opposition to authoritarian regimes.
The accusations leveled against Soros often involve his financial support of progressive causes, which opponents characterize as a form of propaganda or an attempt to secretly manipulate political outcomes. The alleged "propaganda tools" are the organizations and media outlets that receive funding from the OSF.
Accusations related to Soros-funded "propaganda"
Opponents of Soros have used his financial support of various causes as the basis for their allegations.

• Funding political campaigns: Trump and other conservatives have repeatedly highlighted Soros's support for specific progressive candidates and groups, particularly those focused on criminal justice reform. They point to donations made to groups that backed district attorneys like Alvin Bragg as evidence of Soros trying to control the political scene.
• Media funding: Accusations have been made by conservative outlets suggesting that Soros and other wealthy donors fund media companies and journalists to spread "fake news" and propaganda. The goal, they claim, is to push left-wing talking points and influence public opinion.
• Support for activist and human rights groups: Soros's Open Society Foundations have supported numerous human rights and activist organizations, including some that have been labeled "extremist" or "terrorist" by political opponents. The OSF and many human rights organizations dispute these characterizations, stating that the accusations are politically motivated and designed to silence dissenting voices.

Counterarguments and refutations
The accusations against Soros are widely contested, particularly by the Open Society Foundations and human rights advocates, who offer the following counterarguments:

• Attacks on open society: Critics of the allegations point out that Soros's foundations support pro-democracy movements, especially in formerly communist and authoritarian countries, which is why they are often targeted by repressive regimes. The same strategies used against the OSF in countries like Hungary are also being employed by right-wing opponents in the U.S..
• Conspiracy theories: The accusations are frequently intertwined with antisemitic conspiracy theories, such as the idea of a powerful, globalist Jewish figure secretly controlling governments and institutions. This has prompted the Anti-Defamation League and other organizations to call out the rhetoric for playing into long-standing antisemitic tropes.
• Funding transparency: The Open Society Foundations assert that they are transparent about their funding and mission. They argue that the attacks are "politically motivated" and not based on credible evidence.
• Combating disinformation: Some ventures backed by Soros explicitly aim to combat disinformation. For example, in 2021, a new media company supported by Soros and other billionaires was launched to fund efforts that "tackle disinformation" and support local news.

Summary
The term "propaganda tool" attributed to George Soros refers to the organizations and media initiatives that receive funding from his Open Society Foundations, especially those that advance progressive or pro-democracy goals. Accusations of funding propaganda are most often made by his right-wing political opponents in contexts such as Hungarian politics and American conservative media, where they are used to paint him as a villain controlling events behind the scenes. Conversely, Soros's supporters and the foundations themselves contend that these accusations are politically motivated smear tactics designed to discredit their legitimate work in promoting human rights and open societies.
