There is no way all of this macho posturing by Hegseth (and Miller) will end in anything less than a military invasion that involves boots on the ground in another country. As much as dotard would be satisfied with having them gun down US civilians here in America, the Secretary of War's micropeen won't get hard until we bomb the shit out of some poor brown people halfway across the world. They're going to stage a made for HDTV special while turning some non-threat on the map into a grease spot.

Oh, my friend.  You know that it's going to be "both."

A man who lives for temper tantrums, grudges, and vengeance, has decided that half of America is his personal enemy.  And he has a whole military that he thinks (and maybe he's right) is there to do whatever he tells them to do.  So he is 100% going to use them as an instrument of his vengeance to go to war with Americans.

And then war against foreign brown people, because he thinks it makes him look tough to his pathetic cultist followers.

No. This is about killing the medical shaving exemptions for black men. If he extends it to spec ops, it’s because he’s jealous of them and holding a grudge.

I don’t know if it’s been posted yet but Kegsbreth was the least qualified person in the room this morning. Tabless Infantry officer that made Major in the IRR. And he was telling 25 year plus dudes about warrior ethos? He’s a drunk idiot

In Hegseth's video snippet on X or Bluesky posted earlier, he said "If you want a beard, you can join Special Forces."

I’m bumping up against a theory of the mind problem because I can’t model the brain of a person that was for. 

I can sort of map out a person who would be on board with all the dumb stuff he is announcing. Not agree with them but imagine how they internally get there. 

I can’t get into the perspective of someone who wants to see that level of MasterCringe Theatre from a senior cabinet official. Just painful and embarrassing to watch.

Trump was super low energy even when he meandered from the prepared lines to the stuff he likes. Part of that was the stoic crowd but it was clear he didn’t want to be there. He only came because he couldn’t let TripleSecDef give a big important speech to military people without him. 
 
 
Also: pretty clear that Hegseth is right now harboring an insane ambition to run in 2028. Vance and Rubio will eat him alive soon.  It’s funny that none of them can hint about it until DJT formally says he’ll leave office. If in fact he does, he will drag it out a stupid long time and Dems need to exploit that window. 

Dems exploit windows about as effectively as Greg Davis coordinated Iowa.

I don't. Trump's maybe only genius is understanding how submissive and compliant we all become to ensure that nothing interrupts the direct deposit paychecks to our accounts.

Generals don’t get to be generals by being weak or compliant. They definitely know how to play the political game. Anybody above major is good at that and it gets exponentially harder to advance through the ranks above that. I would bet there is a core group or possibly even groups who communicate routinely about scenarios just like this and have contingencies to put themselves in power. You might even agree with most of their policies, but there ain’t no going back if that happens.

 

Edit to put it another way, how many people who have the drive dedication and ability to achieve the level of general are satisfied with that being the end of the line? You really wouldn’t even need that many colonels completely loyal to you as long as you were in the right locations at the right times.

This would make a great novel, if it weren't actually happening in front of us. A crazy President and Sec Def assemble all these dudes together and proceed to show them all just how crazy they are. Assembled military dudes are then left to decide exactly how they should, um, react. 

Posted (edited)

It would be satisfying if the generals/admirals would have all walked out on Trump but that feeling would be fleeting. Trump would fire them all and appoint personal loyalists in their position, which would take us closer to ending democracy.

There's no doubt in my mind that some of them will be fired after yesterday anyway. You have to guess that both Loomer and Hegseth are running their own research into each military leader to find any possible connection to disloyal comments. This would especially be true if any of them rolled their eyes or displayed other disrespectful looks.

Trump cares more about personal loyalty than the defense of the US since he feels that personal loyalty to him IS the defense of the US.

I'm with you. But let's not act like Trump is above court-martialing such a general for treason and seeking the death penalty.

We need a thread to predict what new country will be first to have US boots on the ground. I know Iran would probably have the best odds, but after that it should have some interesting options. Iraq, Afghanistan, Mexico and China probably round out the top 5. Maybe some latin or South America countries, dark horse possibilities of Gaza, Ukraine and Russia. 

I would go with Venezuela for good odds and a realistic chance of happening. I bet we would be welcomed by their people as liberators to free them from Communist Marxism!

Set it up. yes Venezuela. Don't forget Haiti.

But I don't see the 1st Cav going in. I see Special Forces leading/advising supporting nations. That is the heart of the current Gaza and Haiti plans.

It's going to take a while to weed out out the women, fatties, and other undesirables that Hegseth mentioned yesterday in Quantico.  So I say we start with a warm-up lap in Greenland.

With overly "Fuck yeah, 'merica!" MAGA reaction to having a fucking UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House with walkouts from the Oval Office, it becomes pretty clear that a significant number of Americans have an IQ slightly above imbecile.

The really weird thing is that the ban on facial hair in the Navy is a pretty recent phenemenon.  It was only implemented in 1984 to ensure a proper seal for modern firefighting equipment.  But before that, facial hair in the Navy was very common, if not the norm.

And of course it was.  We're on a fucking ship.  We have limited supplies of freshwater.  We can't run around wasting it on fucking shaving.  Save that shit for shore; when we're underway, that's just a fucking waste of time and water.

I wonder if Pete Kegsbreath wants to go back in time and ask Bull Halsey or John Paul Jones why they were being so woke for allowing beards in their command.

Again, I cannot believe what I am seeing.  The Secretary of Defense just called all of the highest ranking military officers from all over the world to talk about *checks notes* PT and facial hair?  I'm sorry, this has to be a bit.  Nobody can be this stupid, can they?  This is directly from the Idiocracy script.  Mike Judge himself could not have written this any better.

No chance we'll go in on the ground to Iran, that would be a fucking quagmire.  It looks like dumbass and Mini-Me are setting it up to be Venezuela, but I don't see any other country being stupid enough to go in there with us.  We'll end up at war with the entire continent of South America.

well, if you start with the understanding that Trump is a coward and a bully, your first five are off the list. No way he risks the bad press of flag covered caskets on the runway at Dover.

All he really needs is some B roll of paratroopers landing, or tanks rolling off a landing craft and maybe some shitty patriotic country song written by AI and he can distract the whole country for a few more weeks. I'm going to look back at history and think "What would Republican Jesus do?" No, not that guy, I'm talking about the original Republican Jesus... Ronald Reagan. Venezuela checks a lot of boxes. Not too far, mostly brown  people and evil commies, and wouldn't put up much resistance to the might of the US military...but it's pretty large and would require s lot of boots on the ground to secure the peace.. Looking at it through the mind of Trumpco, that still might be more than what's needed. BUT, right there off the coast is a small island nation with casino gambling, beautiful beaches, and an international airport. The perfect place for a new Trump Casino and Resort, so I will say the target is, with 80% certainty, Aruba.

Nah, it would pit us vs. Brazil. But Argentina with this government would back us. Plus we just gave them 20B. 

I still call Haiti for the Western Hemisphere. Agree about Iran.

I also hear we are pushing hard to have Bagram again. 

But in the news we keep hearing about how kick ass the Albanian coast is. So there is that. Trump Tirana.

Without facial hair, we would've never had Marine or Roadblock (who also may have been a touch gay #nttawwt).
