Our Commander in Chief spoke to military leadership.

By having every one of them right there, they cannot later claim that they didn't understand what was presented to them.

As for traveling 8000 miles, this is the correct chain of Command. They are accountable to the SecDef, and he's letting them know it.

There will be no ambiguity.
Hegseth let the old farts know that it is now The Dept of War. It will be all about restoring the Alpha Male, Toxic Masculinity, Bad Ass military we USED TO have before the Democrats diluted it.
 
These changes - reverting to past standards - are being implemented at a time when American commanders will no longer send troops into engagements where casualties are likely. The Russians will. The crazy Muslims will. The Chinese will, and the North Koreans will, but not civilized countries like the U.S. and the regimes of Western Europe.

We will rely on bombs, artillery, and stupendous numbers of drones. Which even a WOMAN could pilot. How about THAT for irony?
 
Before Mr. Trump 1st ran for President, He made a speech at Jerry Fallwell University in Lynchburg, Virginia where He said "Give the Israelis everything they want, then God will Bless America." That is the essence of His idea about "Making America Great".
And, that is why He is gung ho for more War stuff and actions. Perhaps that is why the nice Fake Israel gurus have been advocating a war between USA and Russia for a long time while saying. "There is nothing you can do to stop it."
 
Spaciba/Thank You DGS49 for revealing Your vision of "civilized USA" which has spent the last 200+ years slaughtering and maiming millions of people around the world for NO GOOD REASON. I suspect the USA beast from the Sea is circling the drain.
 
President Donald Trump's speech to top military brass was blasted as "absolutely unhinged" Tuesday — as onlookers voiced demands that to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office."Trump opens with a threat to the generals: 'I've never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud ... If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. but you just feel nice and loose,'" noted MSNBC producer Kyle Griffith.

"The other thing that he talked about was changing the culture and, you know, talking about accountability and responsibility. I mean, there's nothing like being lectured to by a reserve major about things like that."I think that there's probably a lot of general officers sitting there right now muttering to themselves, I traveled 8,000 miles to hear this?"

"The fact he said this to military officers - who have likely lost people in Afghanistan is absolutely unhinged. It’s really funny that Hegseth’s little GI Joe fantasy league speech was met with… silence," noted writer Roxane Gay.

He then went on to praise another predecessor, Barack Obama, for his nimble negotiations of stairways — punctuated with some rhythmic scat singing and some dance moves.

"That is one thing with Obama," Trump said. "I have zero respect for him as a president but he would bop down those stairs [like] I've never seen – da-da, da-da, da-da, bop, bop, bop. He'd go down the stairs, wouldn't hold on, and I said, that's great. I wouldn't want to do it. I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are going to happen, and it only takes once. But he did a lousy job as president."


Draft dodging convicted felon, Fox News host puts national security at risk to lecture combat experienced Command Officers. Jesus ******* Christ what a national embarrassment.
WONDER how much it cost us to require Our Military's leaders to come hear these two speak?
 
Read it and weep, it's the Wild West, no oversight, no rules, no corruption, fraud, waste or abuse is worth worrying about anymore. Only the corrupt celebrate such a directive.



Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he will overhaul the military channels that allow troops and defense personnel to file whistleblower complaints, report toxic leadership or point out discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality or religion.

The changes are being implemented at the same time that Hegseth is loosening rules on how senior officers can treat enlisted personnel without having it impact their careers — including a review of what constitutes bullying or hazing — in moves the secretary said would “empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second-guessing.”

Robert Storch, who served as the Pentagon’s inspector general until President Donald Trump fired him this January, said the new directives would have a chilling effect on people coming forward “with what would be valuable information in detecting and deterring waste fraud, abuse and corruption within the DOD.”

Storch warned that the memo language discourages whistleblowers and threatens them with consequences if their claims are proven false. “People who come forward perform a valuable service to the department and the American public,” Storch said.

“From firing Judge Advocates General to now purportedly weakening the Pentagon’s Inspector General and Equal Opportunity programs, Secretary Hegseth and President Trump have shown a clear pattern of undermining the very mechanisms that safeguard accountability and protect our servicemembers,” Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.

“Watering down the definitions for hazing, harassment, and discrimination does not make our military stronger — it erodes trust, silences victims, emboldens bullies, and strips leadership of credible tools to facilitate good order and discipline,” Hirono added.
 
Those who didn't held high level positions in industry or government. Hegseth was a yakker on FOX News.


But let's look at his military experience, and it appears to be very thin. Feel free to include any relevant experience not related to FOX News that is not on Wikipedia.

Iraq:

He began his tour in Baghdad before moving to Samarra, where he served as a civil affairs officer.

Afghanistan:

In 2011, Hegseth was commissioned into the Minnesota Army National Guard as a captain. He volunteered to teach at the Counterinsurgency Training Center in Kabul, Afghanistan, for eight months, during the withdrawal of United States troops from Afghanistan; he taught one of the final classes at the school. After completing his tour in 2014, he was promoted to major and enlisted in the Individual Ready Reserve
Cool story. What’s being discussed since you apparently can’t keep up is Hegseth’s military experience. If he served a single day it’s more than the majority of past Sec Defs as 12 of 21 had zero.
 
Strange.... About a year ago you called for Biden's ouster on grounds that were not constitutional:
Section 4
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

You're a special case. A unique combination of ignorance and stubborness. I knew full well you wouldn't understand. ;)

Yep...Trump looks more and more unhinged everyday. Might be time to start considering that.

This was just more reality teevee.

This could have been done online, and it didn't have to be done in front of the cameras.

Everything now is just showbiz, and the world knows it. It's amazing how quickly we've fallen.

You are projecting. Trump is fine.

Biden was clearly suffering from cognitive impairment. Judging by his symptoms and medical history of vascular problems it's either vascular dementia or mixed vascular dementia with Alzheimer's

His problems are not from normal aging. His frequent falls and abnormal gait indicate impaired motor skills. His heavy reliance on caregiver-style prompts, structured guidance and cues is indicative of frontal lobe impairment. And caregivers of dementia patients know what a great tool ice cream is to sooth them. Jill used it frequently. She knew. The all knew.

Biden frequently lost his train of thought mid-sentence and drew a blank. That's not normal aging. That's dementia.
