What do you want him to spend our hard earned tax dollars on, a gold ballroom?
Has anyone checked Fort Knox???
Trump has expressed concern about someone stealing the Fort Knox stockpile. That's how you know he plans to steal it.
Projection AGAIN!
Project 2028, Project Projection
Hegseth trying a "I say jump, you say how high" routine and IMO failing.
Let's also remember that Trump hates the military and probably revels in the idea of cowing generals.
This could have been an email.
Or a signal chat, shared in the media.
A drunk text or a butt dial!
Or preferably a suicide note.
Better yet, it could have not happened at all.
“Anonymous generals,” right? Fucking cowards.
If they voiced discent now they'd be fired on the spot and replaced with Trump sychopants . Let us hope men and women of honor hold to their oath if the moment comes when they must make a critical choice between Trump and the Constitution.
The moment came back in 2021.
They chose to sit on their hands and see if trump would win.
That moment came in the GWB era.
There was never a better opportunity than when they were all in the room with him. He's been shitting on the constitution since he got into office. We are well past the point where it's appropriate to do something about it.
That must have been the reason for the meeting. The leaders had the opportunity to kill him and they didn't. That tells every soldier to accept whatever is coming.
I mean, I would rather have people with that kind of opinion (who at least go to the press anonymously) in that kind of position than someone who says "oh yes daddy, shave my beard!"
Trump absolutely would fire them on the spot over that, if he knew who it was. And we'd immediately see someone who smells like aftershave in their place
Otherwise decent people can still be cowards. That’s why everyone with good intentions isn’t labeled a hero.
It sounds like a weird move, but if bravery immediately removes you from the equation, cowardice could put you in a position to one day be a hero.
This would be great if there was any indication at all this was going to happen. Meanwhile, the US is sitting on a few dozen shitbags with the knowhow and the information to stop this who are doing fuck all- where is Vindman, Brown, McMaster, Esper, Mattis, Maguire, Kruse, Plummer….?
These clowns have not earned the benefit of the doubt.
if there was any indication at all this was going to happen.
That's an even more certain way to get thrown out of the building
Let's say they do the "brave" thing by naming themselves. They're thrown out with their middle fingers up, and replaced by an inexperienced sycophant.
That sycophant is now in charge for hundreds if not thousands of other individuals and their lives.
It's simply not worth their pride to risk the lives of these people under their command.
I think withholding their identities is a smart, if not expected, move.
I’ve learned recently that is how they are trained. They serve apolitically.
What's your name buddy? Where do you live?

Sounds like government waste, fraud and abuse to me!
Grow face pubes you weasels
I thought liz truss could not be outdone in terms of cringe, but i think hegseth might have done it. By god, he might have done it. USA, USA, USA!!
