Trump picks Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth for defense secretary

[Marener]

I dont mind arms to ukrainr, Israel, and Taiwan if necessary

But our stocks have to be replaced and maintained

As far as soldiers the Army is 45,000 short

no wars to fight, and good jobs elsewhere, means less incentive to sign up.

Anyway, Trump will spend mountains of cash on the military. The military industrial complex won big here.

No wars to fight? Tbe war in Ukraine is available. For an internet tough guy, I would have thought you would have volunteered.

Yet your slogans are funny when you denigrate the military industrial complex when that complex supports a war you want to continue.

I’m just pointing out the conservative hypocrisy. They pretend to be against the military industrial complex but they absolutely love shoveling money to them.

It’s pretty obvious.

You're pointing out nothing. Who is the "they" you insist are against the military industrial complex? What is this mysterious, complex you retreat to slogans to define?

Silly slogans and undefined conservatives who you blame but can't identify being against the military seems to define the retrograde left which is anxious for wars but doesn't have the ability to recruit soldiers to die for.

Why aren't you in Ukraine defending the military industrial complex?

It's pretty obvious. Chickenhawk leftists are chest puffing buffoons when the incoming starts.

okay. Never mind. You guys love the military industrial complex and are delighted to shower taxpayer money on them.

Thanks for clarifying.

That was quite the sidestep. That's the danger presented when you cut and paste slogans and refer to groups you can't identify as "they". There was $61 billion dollars in military aid for Ukraine this past April.

The funding passed with the support of 46 Democrats, 31 Republicans and 2 independents. It seems the left is particularly anxious to throw money at the military industrial complex.

Hope that clarification helps.

The left is anxious to preserve the independence of a nation being invaded by Russia.

That is going to require spending money on weapons. I wish there was a way around it, but that’s just reality.

 

[Blackrook]

Oh, he has command experience. You remember those pictures of detainees at Gitmo being subject to abuse? He was a platoon leader, probably the 84th Troop Command but I need to do more research. He was an infantry platoon leader in Iraq where he did see action. He became a captain in 2012 and went to Afghanistan where he was a senior counter insurgency trainer. How did that turn out? NOT SO GOOD.

He has no senior military or national security experience. I really don't know if he could qualify for an even midlevel security clearance, but apparently, Trump is going to hand those things out without an FBI review. Quite frightening.

The man is a disgusting, racist, pig. He is 96.4% Scandanavian, who even brags about something like that? While married and working at Fox he had an affair with his producer and they had a baby. Had he done that in the military he would have been court-martialed and spent some time in the brig. At FOX, well it is SOP.

I mean I knew, and I warned you all, this administration is going to be a total shit show. I just didn't think it would happen this fast.

Do you have citations for any of this?

It's not just spending money on weapons, there's an issue of depleting arms the US is not replacing. There's "Humanitarian aid" money. There needs to be oversight and accountability for this taxpayer money showered on a former comedian heading a nation with a long, lurid history of corruption.

I know you meant DEI...and you are absolutely correct! Not to mention, the Gender-Affirmed Surgeries to kids. To me, that is SICK!

Show me one actual case of someone conducting gender affirming surgery on a minor. I will wait.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Whats with all the Crusader tats he has? Is that Neo-Nazi crap?

For all of it, has already been posted, do try to keep up.

 

[Hollie]

Isn't this nice. A last, dying, panic move by Biden - Harris to increase deficit spending. A big FU to the taxpayers.

 

[Winston]

Everyone is lzughing at your TDS inspired rage.

Are you qualified for anything?

You are not worth tits on a boar hog. Yes, I am qualified in a lot of things, but does it really matter?

Was Pete a guard at Gitmo when the prisoner abuses were taking place, why yes, yes he was. Was Pete one of the primary instructors for the counter-insurgency forces in Afghanistan. Why yes, yes he was. Does he have any high level command experience, no he does not. Platoon leader, that is it.

So, your task is to either show how any of the above is just not true, or demonstrate how, well, it doesn't really matter. You post anything else, well you are confirming your own lack of qualification for, well, just about anything.

I agree. What you're qualified at doesn't matter.

You really are stupid. Trump's proposal will add one trillion dollars to the deficit, PER YEAR. Both Fitch and Moody's have warned of a possible downgrade of US government debt.

Hell, the information during the election, from various sources. Trump would increase the deficit by twice as much as Harris. To lament about the final spending of the Biden administration because it would exacerbate the debt indicates you are not even qualified to vote.

You are an angry spammer. To endorse throwing more deficit spending money at the Ukraine comedian indicates you should be out playing in traffic.

Now that would be comedy gold.

remove the DEI distractions and mandates for vaccines.

Damn, it is a flippin miracle that we defeated the British in the Revolutionary War. Damn DEI suckers. I mean damn blacks fought for the Continental Army, and the State Militias. Both freeman and slaves. We had gay generals. Hell, we even had a trans general, although maybe Pulaski was intersex. You do know that happens, right? We had women that were spies, probably our best, can you imagine that? And we had women in combat roles, guess Pete didn't study much history at Princeton. I mean there were women that collected a pension for their service in the Revolutionary war, COMBAT service.

Was that saliva-slinging tirade supposed to do something more than make you look like a buffoon?
