Here, too, the sheer ridiculousness of the regime once again obscures its criminal intentions.

Statements such as these are then completely ignored:

We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement, just common sense, maximum lethality and authority for warfighters.

This obviously means that all moral conventions, humanitarian principles, and international agreements are being thrown overboard—in other words, absolute ruthlessness, Israel-style.

This is the face of America today: a grotesque grimace of fascist malice.

They actually showed bits of both speeches on TV news around here (I'm not in the US) and these guys are like a clown version of the Nazis.

"And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, OK, because we're all on the same team. And I was told that, sir, you won't hear -- you won't hear a murmur in the room. I said, we got to loosen these guys up a little bit. So you just have a good time."

I'd like to see the first line changed to "Everybody's calling them" because

1. The generals didn't get to be generals without knowing when to keep their mouths shut.

2. You don't have to be military to enjoy this crack. I'm definitely going to be part of that everybody.

And also

3. Trump's favorite way of manufacturing and spreading lies is to say "Everybody's" and "People are" saying whatever it is.

I'm sorry, but... is this a Facebook meme? This is the oldest source I could find:

It's almost certainly not real.

I know it's not going to get taken down, but:

Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.

They just adapted incel / Maga recruitment methods to try and reel in the tops of the world, for real? Those work on incel / Maga, because they're downtrodden and insecure, but arrogant, want not to be, but don't have the insight or the ego to permit self improvement.

People don't get to the top with a personal failings like that, being angry at the world, types, don't ever get to top jobs, they were talking to grownups, thinking their magical words will cause them a world wide army. Holy fk I can't decide if thier levels of God syndrome are hilarious, in the face of the level of danger this presents. I mean, they're not dangerous in the sense that no one would listen to them, other than the dickheads like them. But, damn!

So something about this I don’t get. Didn’t they relax the standards because they couldn’t get enough people for Cyber Security Command? Do they just think these people are gonna magically start working out?

Oh that’s right, they don’t think.

And no I didn't say thank you

Please tell me this is actually happening

Wouldn’t that be great if I could have the faith in our military leaders to mock trump instead of saving their own positions and paychecks by bending the knee.

Good god, he looks like a freaking dunce in that photo. What an embarrassment

Nah, that's just an accurate physical description of the two.
