Hegseth is live speaking to the brass.

[WEATHER53]

They're far more peaceful than January 6th.

Which is absurd because it lasted a few hours

 

[postman]

Thats a list that you made up to suit your bias

Trump is right and you are wrong

I got the list from somebody on your side of the aisle.

They can, if and when local authorities refuse to enforce them.

Grok:

Use of the National Guard in Extreme Circumstances​

Yes, in extreme cases where state refusal leads to insurrection, rebellion, domestic violence, or makes federal law enforcement "impracticable," the president can deploy the National Guard (after federalizing it) to enforce federal laws until order is restored. This is authorized under the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251-255), which provides broad presidential discretion without needing congressional approval or state consent in certain scenarios. Key sections include:

• § 252: Allows use of armed forces when unlawful obstructions or rebellion hinder federal law enforcement via normal judicial processes.
• § 253: Permits intervention to suppress violence that deprives people of constitutional rights if state authorities "are unable, fail, or refuse" to protect them, or when it obstructs federal laws.
• § 251: Authorizes deployment at a state's request to suppress insurrection against its government.

The president must issue a proclamation ordering dispersal before deployment (§ 254). Historical uses include enforcing school desegregation in the 1950s-60s (e.g., Little Rock, Arkansas) and suppressing riots. However, the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385) generally prohibits using federal military for domestic law enforcement, but the Insurrection Act serves as a key exception. Recent examples include deployments during civil unrest, though courts have ruled some uses illegal if they violate Posse Comitatus without proper authorization. Deployment is a last resort and can be controversial, as it risks militarizing civilian affairs

Given that local refusal to enforce basic laws ensuring safety of person or property, this has encouraged domestic violence. Clear grounds for using the National Guard and military to restore peace and order.

How long has Trump been speaking?

More than an hour. You can tell about every ten minutes he quits rambling and starts reading the the teleprompter again for about a paragraph and suddenly sounds coherent again, then he meanders off. Its almost sad. He was talking about how Obama could bounce down stairs but he has to be careful or something.

It lasted longer than 9/11

In the space of three hours, two planes hit the World Trade Center, one plane hit the Pentagon and one crashed in Pennsylvania.

 

[Zincwarrior]

I think officers not being disgusting fat-bodies is a fine goal.

Fat generals in the US Army is not exactly a major concern.

 

[BackAgain]

You don't.

Sure, peewee.

Actually, I do.

If you care to be educated, I’m here to help.

 

[BackAgain]

1) Extreme cases
2) There must be insurrection, rebellion, or domestic violence (such as riot)

Protests don't fit any of the requirements.

Nope. Try again.

OK USMB Conservatives

What was so critical about the message that Hegseth had to summon our top military minds from around the world?

Truth be told, to let them know and to put them on notice about who's the boss.

That way they can avoid the "red tape" if they decide to get all full of themselves as generals and flag rank officers sometimes do.

Wrong. It is not the Iron Cross.

I can still help you if you wish.

 

[Old Rocks]

I think he's on the right track so far. May be some retirements. Sec. Hegseth: Department of War’s mission is to achieve ‘peace through strength’

Ah yes, warms the heart of any fascist.

Sure, peewee.

Actually, I do.

Give it a shot, numb nuts.

A natural lib loon apples to tire irons comparing 9/11 to 1/6

You talked about which lasted longer in order to rank their significance or impact.

Why would you tie the length of an event to its actual impact?

I dont know because I wasnt there

But the Sec of War has the authority to decide

Firing Generals already did that

Generals have little tolerance for blow hards wasting their time
Trump and Hegseth fit the bill

Nobody argued the authority.

They argued the wisdom.

Whoever it was is wrong

The attacks on ICE while local police do nothing is more than enough to justify federal action

Although I appreciate that you signed your post, it’s not necessary.

And since you asked, you ignorant twit, I will now proceed to give you the proper terminology to commence your education.

It is properly known as the JERUSALEM CROSS.

Now, I don’t usually accept at face value what “Snopes” has to say, but in this case, it’s accurate:

Contrary to Rumor, Pete Hegseth Does Not Have Nazi Tattoos

Pictures of Hegseth's alleged tats circulated online after Trump announced his appointment.

If generals address Trump as blowhard then they get dismissed
