Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard."I have yet to find a single military official who was in the audience today who thought tha...
Just curious how much it cost American tax payers for this meeting that could have been an email?
Speak for yourself, I would have paid DIRECTLY to the defense department to put Hegseth on stage in front of hundreds or thousands of career military professionals from all walks of life and all branches of our highest levels of defense planning and strategy so they all get to see him in person for what he is, a wannabe TED-talking, sound-bite spewing grifter civilian with no leadership qualifications past running a podcast.

There is no better way to ensure that every competent and concerned armed-forces leader is on the same page as getting them all in a room together to listen to these clowns perform their circus act.
If it comes to it, we do not win revolutions without the military. We need this kind of performance.
Hey hey… he’s not a civilian… for two weeks out of the year he is a citizen soldier.

Policy decisions and recruitment strategies come and go, but they have a saying about war and if it ever changes or not. These lifetime generals and leaders are in their positions because they have far greater concerns than the temporary ravings of a political pundit who captured the spotlight for a moment. They will all go back to their stations, a little time lost, a little more to do, and they will sweep all the performative letters into the garbage so they can focus on the eternal art of finding ways to put holes in other people in mass numbers before they can put holes in us in mass numbers.
