Is there a military committee agreeing to his decision, or just him alone, all willy-nilly?
"Our democracy is being destroyed, let's complain non-stop but not actually DO anything!" -literally everyone
His mismanagement and dismantling of the military is treason. Impeach him now!
Believe me no one knows more about the General than 47, 😂😂😂😂. We didn't know they were going to start bombing other countries as he looks around for some confirmation.
Where and when did Rachel Levine serve to become admirtal?
Bully’s want ONEWAY leadership..
“ Do as I say”….
Notice so many of the Top, best Generals are gone under Hegseth…?
Learn what poor leadership is..ONEWAY..
Hegseth like trump is a what to be. He will be on trail soon.
Dunning krugar in action
I want to just barf.
So if you wear the orange puffy jacket and you are the safety it is presumed you have detonation training, please nicely consider that concept.
Remember when they wouldn't let the next generation have their final gunsmith training because that other causim wasn't doing detonation status? It's a hidden concept and they have plenty of time to work on that concept and world.
We did a mission to fund and settle their gunsmith training because the next matter is already in movement and we have people whom have training to help settle people into proper science of rifle concept world capable of doing repairs or a basic level of training that is only inteded to help the person with their self control and does not mean they can do any other duty or work anywhere else. They stay the same status until they are proper fitted and I only know the vigo mortenson person to do that concept of change of status, but I think maybe a general can but I don't know that part. I just know this part and discussion.
Hegseth is a Chinese asset. Every single thing he’s done in office has crippled the military’s ability to fight against China specifically
We need to stop looking at these moves as though they are a result of incompetence because they are not . They are all strategic dictatorship moves to replace the US military with lackeys .
And we wonder why the mental health of service members is declining at a rapid pace and living conditions are deplorable for troops. To the point of risking one's life to escape. Same can be said about food recalls and Americans health.
I think the lack of republican senators failure to hold accountable but just talk is disgraceful. Only worried about their careers.
How about the fact that he was Thrown out of the military! That's not troubling!?
DJT point is to destroy America, he find satisfaction in destroying everything. Making the military weak is another way to make America weak.
Hegseth got his feelings hurt while in the guard and is still pouting about it. This position requires an adult. Hegseth has the personality of a spoiled and vindictive little girl. After this administration is humiliated during the mid-terms he needs to be one of the many who are dismissed by and legal means necessary.
He's an ex Fox news hack, not a military leader, he had to have a makeup room. He'd never make it through a day that the service members fighting an illegal war go through.
Can you say TREASON?
Donald J. Trump is mentally ill in my opinion. His mental illness prevents him from performing his duties as President of the United States in an effective manner and the results are beginning to show.
What a tool.
Pete will never survive his crimes against America
Most of the Military is MAGA, the ones that are not are being purged out.
This guy is effing clueless on what’s going on. Is Pete that stupid not to realize he’s so incompetent or is he just winging it?
Couldnt have anybody smarter than them!!
PLEASE …Stefanie…bring on MELANIE JOLY to speak about the TRADE war between Canada and the US.
