AP: "Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who oversees the Catholic Church’s pastoral services to Catholics in the U.S. military…stipulated that any Catholic soldier assigned to the U.S. Army firing squad should ask to be excused from that duty, which he described as contrary to the teachings of the church."
what a joke
https://www.military.com/pentagon-na...rs-and-stripesThe Pentagon has named one of its own public affairs officials to run the publication Stars and Stripes, and he will keep his Pentagon job while doing it. This places a single official inside both the office that shapes the military's message, and the newsroom charged with covering it independently.
Trump nixes livestreaming the execution of the Ft hood shooter
Death penalty debate aside, this would give them attention and make them martyrs. Pete is an unhinged idiot.
How many innocent people has Trump killed lately? I'm not sure we'll ever witness him getting justice.Trump nixes livestreaming the execution of the Ft hood shooter
OPSEC is clean
https://www.thedailybeast.com/defens...n-surveillancePete Hegseth’s Department of Defense is putting troops at risk of foreign spies because of security weaknesses in the Pentagon’s $2.67 billion cellphone contracts.
A damning new watchdog report exposed ongoing failings in the Pentagon’s protection of sensitive communications and location information in the military’s sprawling Spiral 4 wireless contract, despite repeated warnings about overseas espionage, as revealed by PunchUp, the Daily Beast’s sister Substack.
The armed forces had more than 568,000 wireless lines in January, making the security of its communications a potentially enormous national security concern.
The Pentagon failed to check whether phone companies were adequately protecting sensitive data that could reveal troops’ locations and who they were in contact with, the investigators found. Officials also failed to properly scrutinize the companies’ security checks before renewing their contracts.
In a chilling warning, the watchdog said hackers could “map entire communication networks within the DoW (Department of Defense), pinpoint sensitive locations like safe houses or command posts, and expose operational vulnerabilities, significantly compromising national security.”
Investigators also found that Pentagon officials “were aware that malicious actors could exploit known vulnerabilities to intercept and read SMS messages” sent to and from military phones. Yet the department “had not issued policy for protecting text messages.”
the Pentagon hates Pete
Maybe it's just them scratching off the words "Lake Ontario" and "Gulf of Mexico"
Good God what an imbecile.
Kriegsminister Pete is a chaos agent and a disgrace to the armed forces -- he should resign

maybe Pete wants to drop a nuke on Iran
making up to OAN on background should dispel any concern
"This guy did no planning for the war we badly ed up"
He's such a true Patriot
Why is he wearing child sized suits?
politicizing US armed forces, driving good people out
Roughly 79% of veterans and service members believe that politicians and society areleaving veterans and military families behind.
That is according to polling by grassroots veterans' organization Common Defense Civic Engagement, which it conducted in September and released in late October. Of the 731 active-duty service members, veterans and military families that responded to the survey, 48% strongly agreed with this sentiment and 15% disagreed.
https://www.military.com/79-of-veter...em-behind-poll"Veterans know what real leadership looks like: you take care of the people under your command and you keep politics out of the mission," said Jose Vasquez, U.S. Army veteran and executive director of Common Defense.
"Right now, nearly 8-in-10 veterans and military families say they're being left behind, and active-duty troops are telling us that politicization is pushing them toward the exit. That's not a talking point; it's a readiness crisis," he added.
Common Defense also found that 53% of active-duty service members want to separate from service sooner because they said the military is becoming more politicized.
Another 45% said policy changes or uncertainty under the current Trump administration had also made them consider separating sooner.
the whispering starts
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-h...ection-losses/President Trump has been asking advisers around him and on the phone whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should stay in his job, following Republicans' catastrophic losses Tuesday night, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
Some White House aides have predicted some of the blame for GOP midterm losses will be trained on Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, who both played big roles in guidance on the Iran war.
yes please, with all due speed

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio..._medium=socialDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of government employees and taxpayer-funded resources to create a self-promoting video attacking Democrats and other political opponents probably violated federal law, government watchdogs said Friday.
The video is part of a highly unorthodox Defense Department messaging campaign that debuted on social media Thursday, as Hegseth stepped up efforts to save his job after Republicans’ historic collapse in this week’s midterm elections.
It shows him outside the Pentagon as he criticizes former president Joe Biden along with members of Congress from both political parties who have called for him to resign or be fired. Over roughly six minutes, Hegseth also defends the unpopular Iran war, extols perceived accomplishments in office and heaps praise on his boss, President Donald Trump.
