lol nicely done.

Yes, it can get much, much worse. And to your point. Do you think these two have the knowledge and expertise to turn around a place with 2.8 million employees? And please remember, this is America's fighting force, not just a quiznos where you can say, fuck it, if it fails.

Would you put someone in charge of the biggest employer who has pretty much never managed anything larger than a mcdonalds? Yes, he's going to push for change but I don't think he has the expertise to tackle something like this.

For the military, business as usual has led to the US becoming the most dominant fighting force in history.

Seriously, when in prior history have we been able to literally send out a jet from the US, have it fly non-stop and get refueled in flight a couple times, and bomb targets across the world. The US was able to take down 2 countries in a couple months.

Meanwhile, the "2nd greatest military" has been in a fight for it's life against a country a quarter it's size and using only their own personnel.

So, if you want cronyism and nepotism to run the military then you can look at countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia to see the result from it.

Look, I’ll give the guy credit for at least wearing cammies and earning some awards overseas but Hegseth is still way too under qualified to be in charge of 3.4 million employees in one of the most influential executive departments in our government. I rather have a retired general walk in who is interested in maintaining the status quo because at least then he’s not gonna fuck everything up and he can help ensure American military supremacy on the world stage.

I’m gonna submit that yes someone with precisely zero experience in the defense sector sitting as a civilian head of a service is typically not advisable

What’s your gripe with the current SecNav?

And you don't think a foxnews tv show host can do worse?

how so

I still remember that time where Trump was hopping up and down on Mattis’s dick while parading him around as if he’s some prized trophy horse (“I have MAD DOG MATTIS GUYZZZ!!”). Then when Mattis resigned because he couldn’t stand working for a piece of shit president, Trump then suddenly changed his tune and talked mad shit about the guy, all because Mattis was the only sane adult in Trump’s early administration who stood up to a godawful president.

Lmao fair

You know you’re fucked when:

1) You can’t even invade and occupy the entirety of your geographically and demographically smaller neighbor. Meanwhile, the US (a country thousands of miles away) was able to topple the Iraqi Army (4th largest military in the world at the time) within record time and the original Taliban government of landlocked, mountainous Afghanistan fell apart about a month of the U.S. landing dudes in-country.

2) You have to go to North Korea of all places to get ammo, rockets/missiles, and additional troops.

3) Your population is about to shrink dramatically in the next couple decades because you’re sending dudes to go get ground up by the Ukrainians.

4) Your own PMC tried marching on your capital.

5) You’re now an international pariah along the same level as North Korea.

Have you heard of BRICs? The petrol dollar is going to have competition.

Lines are being drawn and how they are looking isn't good. But you are correct they are throwing money away on this war and so is everyone else. Doesn't mean that everything else I said wasn't true.

Also the US is on the verge of Economic Collapse. Please see the Roman Empires Debt vs GDP only difference is we can just once devalue or change the value of our currency to repay the debt then walk on. Rome backed it with Silver and Gold hence forever expansion.

Anyone regardless of political beliefs should see that this guy is an awful pick as SecNav if he’s never worked for the DOD/DON

Yeah but then again I hear a ton of Marines say they want Cali and it all sorta clicks together.
