Did she just get out of a church service?Pete Hegseth's wife has a hard job: running Pete Hegseth and the DOD at the same time

No recreational boaters or military guys who have a take on Hegseth bombing a boat in distress?
Seems nonnormative, anyone?

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...th-evaporated/Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented and dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon, said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials.
Numerous high-ranking officers painted Mr. Hegseth’s Sept. 30 speech to hundreds of generals and admirals gathered at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia as a turning point in how his leadership style, at ude and overall competency are viewed in the upper echelons of the U.S. armed forces.
“It was a massive waste of time. … If he ever had us, he lost us,” one current Army general told The Washington Times.
The Quantico speech — described by other sources as “embarrassing” and theatrical to a degree that “is below our ins ution” — seemed to crystallize beliefs about Mr. Hegseth that had taken root among some senior officers, including the view that the secretary operates with a junior officer’s mentality that has led him to micromanage policies about issues such as military facial hair standards and press access to the Pentagon, sometimes at the expense of the much broader portfolio of a typical defense secretary.
“Mainly what I see from him are not serious things,” a current senior officer said. “It’s, ’Why did this service member tweet this?’ Or internal politics and drama. That’s mostly what I see.”
ladies and gentlemen, your revamped Pentagon Press Corps
Claiming the right to kill people anywhere on the basis of secret determinations and mere allegations of drug-trafficking and terrorism, is concerning
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...-survivor.htmlProsecutors in Ecuador have decided not to charge a man who survived a U.S. military attack in the Caribbean Sea last week and have already released him, according to an Ecuadorean official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.
The outcome came despite the Trump administration’s stance that people suspected of smuggling drugs from South America are “terrorists” who pose such a severe danger to the United States that it is lawful for the American military to summarily kill them as if they were soldiers in a war. In announcing that he was repatriating the man, Mr. Trump declaredon Saturday that he would face “detention and prosecution.”
The man was one of two survivors of a U.S. military strike on a semi-submersible vessel on Thursday. The strike killed two people, Mr. Trump later said, but the Navyrescued two other men from the sea afterward and detained them aboard a warship while deciding what to do with them.
Ecuador nopes out, US soft power in a total shambles
objectively hilarious that InfoWars has agreed to publish nothing about DOD without prior government consent

No one is stopping you from posting whatever you're talking about in the Pete Hegseth thread for some reason.
Let's see it.

Could be a Calypso song, probably will be in about 15 minutes
The genre often veers to the topical

wonder who's in charge now
https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/polit...aded-caribbeanPresident Donald Trump is considering plans to target cocaine facilities and drug trafficking routes inside Venezuela, though he has not yet made a decision on whether to move forward with them, three US officials told CNN.
The president has also not ruled out taking a diplomatic approach with Venezuela to stem the flow of drugs into the US, two officials said, even after the administration cut off active talks with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in recent weeks. Venezuela is not known to be a major source of cocaine, but the Trump administration has been aggressively trying to link Maduro to the drug trade.

can SECDEF directly command battles?
not rhetorical
attacking Venezuela would tend to create a state of war in Colombia, which considers all attacks on its neighbor a direct national threat
peacemaker Trump
The chances of Trump starting a war with Venezuela on fake premises to grab more emergency power is nonzero
Could turn into a quagmire, though
comical chest-puffing, but sounds credible

It wouldn't be a war tbh, it'd be a demolition of Venezuela without a fight on their end. Their "military" is worthless like Maduro. Same with Columbia. Both countries would be annihilated in a matter of minutes.
(kw is pro-war)
lol over in minutes
haven't y'all learned anything over the last 22 years?
What conflict of interest?
Of course he is. He wishes death on anyone that in the least bit slights him/her.
Just because I'm a realist when it comes to those corrupt and bankrupted countries by no means makes me a pro-war anything. You leftists are too dumb to realize there is a grey area to most everything.
You loving mamdani means you're an incestuous re muslim lover, see how this works?
