Apr 23, 2025 — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has altered a space behind the Pentagon briefing room to use as a makeup studio before media appearances.

Such a Pretty Boy

I think the simple solution would be for women, minorities, LGBTQ, or anyone with a sense of decency to just not sign up.

If Kegseth and Cheeto Hitler think they can just run the military with white men, they should have at it. I think they'll have a hard time meeting their recruiting goals, though.

Getting rid of DEI isn't "getting rid of anyone other than straight white men" it's getting rid of a program which incentivizes promoting/hiring etc people because they are (insert "marginalized group" here) because they are in that group, not because they are qualified. I frankly dont understand why doing that isnt insulting to the people it's targeting. And lets be clear. Women do not have to meet the same physical standards as men in the military, if they did there would be very few women in the military and even less would get promoted.

Why is the military better because there are gay people in it? Why would someone's sexual orientation factor into the equation other than for billeting considerations? Why would someone's race factor in? Or their biological sex?

Transgendered people are non-deployable, that's why they should be barred from service, just like anyone else who isn't deployable is.

Does a football coach have to be physically fit to win championships?

Nope.

Our generals are not taking the field. They've already been there, done that. More than roid rager Alky Hegseth has.

Provably false. Hegseth actually has an award for valor.

Not one of bribems JCS appointees did.

Not one.

The whole bunch were REMFS.

Trump will soon suffer the same fate as Joe.

He already is. His dementia is out in the wide open now.

 

[g5000]

He wasn’t talking about just running the military with white men. He was referring to the simple-minded idea that diversity trumps competency. For example, lowering the standards so that more females qualify for combat roles is just plain stupid. You know it. We all know it. The problem is the left’s emotionally charged ideology clouds any intelligent thoughts they may have.

Game show host Donald Trump's only physical standards for his administration officials is they must be white photogenic Fox News and social media personalities with IQs even lower than his so he looks smart.

Speaking of physical standards and an over-the-top fawning Cabinet, this is footage from one of Trump's Cabinet meetings:

You do know every single person who goes on a scheduled TV show or appearance wears makeup, right?

But in the 80+ years that the Pentagon has been there, there never has been a makeup room until pretty boy showed up.

No, they did makeup for press conferences is some other room.

A Fox TV host lecturing a room full of generals about a "warrior ethos".

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Oh, man. That's priceless.

I stood in chow lines longer than that asshole served.

Cool story. You realize that over half of the Sec Def's never served a day right? Only 3 were career guys. Hegseth has as much or more military experience as the 80% of past Sec Defs.

And none of them summoned every general and admiral to flex and bloviate.

You think none of the Sec Def's in the past had a meeting with the top generals in the country?

ROFL. Ok.

 

[g5000]

You think none of the Sec Def's in the past had a meeting with the top generals in the country?

Nope. None of them summoned all of their generals and admirals from around the world to come to DC to be lectured.

All caught up now?

 

[g5000]

The lecture could have been done over Zoom. Or even an email.

This is two men with out of control egos.

One high on roids, the other suffering from dementia.

Yeah, I’m sure none of the past secretaries are defense ever had meetings with top military general to discuss the future and direction of the US military I promise that never happened.


By the way, you’re a ******* moron if you believe that

Exactly.

Dead giveaway.

Show me one who summoned all his generals from all over the world to a meeting.

Go ahead.

Good luck.

The last person to summon all his generals in one place was Adolf Hitler.

I like to see him attack the fat generals. Unfortunately our commander in chief has a slight weight problem.

The Commander in Chief will never be in a combat situation. So his weight, whatever it is, is irrelevant.

I much prefer a Commander in Chief who is mentally competent even if a bit overweight rather than one with severe dementia who has to have cheat cards to recognize people on his staff and likely has no clue that he is commander in chief or even what that means.

 

[g5000]

The Commander in Chief will never be in a combat situation.

Except when it comes to escalators.

He isn't required to meet the physical standards for combat. Your point is moot.
