Pete Hegseth Is Destroying Years Of Work By Democrats To Turn American Troops Into Spineless Wimps

U.S. POWs shown on Iraqi TV

DOHA Qatar -- Looking by turns frightened or stoical five captured U.S. soldiers were thrust in front of an Iraqi TV microphone and peppered with questions yesterday. The footage also showed at least…

Happened during the Gulf War, too.

Ok, I’ll give you that one

 

[Mac-7]

Except they don't have to. They are the top trading partner for all those countries, including Taiwan.

China needs Taiwan more than Taiwan needs china

There was a period when the democracies, including Taiwan, saw only profit and no ridk by trading with china

But that is changing

I'm not sure that's quite good enough.

You blamed Obama for sailors cooperating with their captors rather than risk torture. But the point is, during WARTIME, under REpublicans, service members have made the same choice.

Now, here's the thing: they tell you that your Name, rank, Serial number, and DOB are the only information you are supposed to give your captors in time of war.

But the reality is, when you are a captive, you do what your captors tell you.

Admiral Denton made propaganda films (and sent coded messages by blinking in Morse code.)



The sailors on the USS Pueblo did propaganda films as well, and then slipped in joke messages about "Pee on" Kim Il Sung.

I’m no great fan of Bush either

But he was never as bad as Obama or Biden

Actually, he was far worse.

Two Recessions
Two Wars
Major City washed off the map.

The reason I stopped voting Republican was at the end of 2008, I found myself with a busted 401K, an underwater mortgage, and a job that paid considerably less than the one I held the previous year.

Today.

Equity on my new home is up 30% from what it was when I bought it.
My stocks were doing fine at the end of the year (I am dreading this month's statement)
My job pays well and my two side businesses are doing okay.

I know Trump is going to fuck all that up, because that's what he does.

Two wars yes

Iraq was a total mistake

And Afghanistan should not have lasted more than 6 months

And bush shares the blame with clinton for the sub prime housing fiasco that plunged us into recession

And never mind acts of Nature like Katrina

That was not his fault

Bush had eight years to fix the housing issues... instead he encouraged more home buying because it was the only bright spot in his otherwise dismal economy.

And, yes, putting the horse show guy in charge of FEMA is what made an "act of nature' much worse.

Yes, he thought it fit his preferred image of a compassionate (bleeding heart) conservative

 

[Mac-7]

That sounds like a set of poor spending priorities. Instead of buying new ships and planes we don't need, we should be spending more money maintaining the ones we have.

The problem is, the Navy is having a hard time meeting it's recruiting goals, and no one is signing up to be "the guy who paints the side of a ship."

Any dumb decisions by the Navy brass fall at the feet of the woke obama-biden junta

 

[JoeB131]

N-word please.

he encouraged it bcause the rest of his economy sucked. We were bleeding manufacturing jobs, service jobs were being replaced with automation, the only thing that went well was dipshits buying McMansions they couldn't afford.

You obviously don't understand how military procurement works. Congress has a lot to say about it, and equipment spreads a lot of pork out to the states.

 

[Zincwarrior]

We need to:

1. Close hundreds of bases
2. Retired hundreds of 3 and 4 Stars
3. Completely rethink equipment. Abrams are just target practice
4. Get on a de facto wartime production schedule
5. Modernize our weapons systems
6. Close more bases at home and abroad
7. Disclose the secret technologies and space program
8. Close bases

Abrams appear to be slaughtering Russian shit. To balance the budget you will need to dramatically cut the military.

I am interested in what bases you want closed. Everybody always says this, but no one ever say any specifics.

It must be so bad you said it twice.

The economy was ok and did not need home sales to people with no chance to make the loan payments

It was all about white guilt and nothing more

Are you fucking kidding me? The economy SUCKED under Bush. We didn't get out of his first recession until 2004, (just enough to beat Kerry, barely) before his Second Recession wrecked everything.

Which is going to be nothing compared to the recession that is coming under Trump.

I hope you are wrong about a severe recession under trump

But you could be right

We are long overdue for a correction

But nothing is written till it is written

I said it three times

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I said it three times

True, Missed that one.

So, what bases do you want closed?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

True, Missed that one.

So, what bases do you want closed?

The U.S. military operates around 420-450 military bases and installations within the 50 states and Washington, D.C., and has a global network of approximately 750 military bases in over 80 countries and territories

Really? We need on average 9 bases per State? What do they do?

Same with in other countries. What do they do? Are they needed?

 

[sparky]

I removed the line “you must be joking” after I realized your meaning

my bad, i'll aspire towards a tad more clarity in my posts Mac....~S~

Nope, we are going to have a recession, because we ALWAYS HAVE RECESSIONS when Republicans are in charge

But Trump is a special level of stupid, which is why the Stock Market is burning right now.

And frankly, we deserve a severe recession. We put hate, misogyny and racism ahead of common sense, we deserve get burned.
