Portland, OR.  Book it.

Well, the president did say the other day that he wants to use US cities as "training grounds" for our troops.

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. 

 

So is the Bagram thing just concern that the Chinese will setup base there?

Depends on your type. I guess if you like brunettes with smooth cafe au lait skin, tight and toned bodies, lilting Spanish accents, and smoldering eyes she’s OK. But who’s into that type of thing?

Probably, but not just that. It is a pretty strategic place.

My takeaway after watching parts of both Hegseth and Trump's speeches on C-Span.

I suspect this was an event to collect photos and video of Hegseth looking tough and in charge, to be used when he runs for a higher office like Senator or President.  The resemblance to the movie "Patton" was obvious.  He was well rehearsed and walked around the stage, in contrast to Trump who was locked in to the teleprompter.  It was crazy stuff, which I think I can summarize by saying "Lose weight you morons" and "In Christ's name, I plan to blow the crap out of somebody".

A lot of "This is now the Department of War, I am the War Secretary, which means ... war ... to keep the peace."  Orwellian stuff.

Trump makes almost the same speech no mater who his is talking to.  I'm sure he is pissed that he had to talk in silence.  His act loses a lot when there is zero crowd reaction.  He kept it up even at the end, where he was clapping for himself and pointing at folks in the crowd like it was a rally, but instead of "YMCA" blasting there was nothing.

I think Hegseth works this into a stump speech about how he cleaned up the military, got everyone in shape, got rid of woke stuff, blew up some stuff ... and he'll have the images of the event to back him up on Fox while he's talking about what he did as SecDef.

The parts about using the military domestically were obviously the most concerning, but I have faith in our military.  I don't see them going along with it.  If I am wrong we are screwed.

Trump doesn't have the courage to send our troops into any environment where they could face losses. Instead he will only send them into US cities.

It's like playing a low level FCS team

Just ran across this interesting reddit post on "Pass the Bottle Pete's" military career mediocrity, from 6 months ago. Army folks feel free to weigh in re: this guy's insights. Obligatory: nsiap.

Pretty spot on. COIN training in Kabul? Um, most ANA combat units were not there. ANP was, but that was usually a State contract run by contractors. Most were former Delta/SF. 

SecDef is policy/admin. Not a planner. That is the Joint Chiefs.

I lost my shit when Hegseth was trying to do shitty wordplay about being the M in DIME but he fucked it up because he is so used to just talking about DEIA.

Trump will do whatever he thinks is best for trump, and if that involves thousands of Americans dying in a distraction war, it will be done.

I agree that Trump lacks courage as a general proposition.

I don't think I agree that sending US troops in harm's way takes much courage, especially for a thoughtless twat like Trump.

Political courage, maybe.

He'd run a war like he has run all his businesses.

If he wasn't in the bag for Russia and N. Korea, he'd invade one of those just assuming, as he always does, nobody knows more about winning than he does. Even he is not stupid enough to invade China.

Invade Canada because, I don't know, they're operating as a base for radical socialist incursions supporting the street to street fighting in Portand. Fake news won't show you the footage. Biden created a disastah.

If only Trumpuppets remain in command and the military doesn't mutiny, we'll find our tanks taking over major towns (victory!) then the bloody efficient transborder guerilla war run by Canadians who look just like us and speak fluent English will be blamed on, you know, the radical socialist with their woke agenda that has unleashed the violent, grooming havoc of Transgender Terrorism!

Oh, and a war will make Trump the richest man in the world.

My son said they have periodic "reminders" about their oath at West Point.  He added those reminders are much more frequent since January.  I wonder why?

My son in one year at West Point has his Air Assault badge.  Something the Sec Defense War couldn't manage to accomplish through his entire "career".

Hegseth is an odd combination of a manufactured politician plus someone who keeps screwing up. From a shallow perspective, he's an educated, military guy with extensive media background. That's custom built for a top leadership position. And getting to SecDef is pretty damn high up in terms of an appointment. Maybe SecState is the only higher appointed position. 

But he also ranks fairly high in the character flaws that he can't seem to control. Most likely stemming from his alcohol problem.

What's scary is that he could very well succeed in getting elected from a populist party like MAGA.

I had to look it up, but apparently Haiti has some gold in the ground.  Yeah, they're fucked.

Yes, and a strategic location. China has hinted at making a large manufacturing free zone in Haiti. With a port and large airport. 

Plus we have a lot of investment in the Dominican Republic.

Reminders of their oath to the Constitution of the United States of America? Hopefully that backfires on Trump & Hegseth.

That's the point.  It is West Point directing these reminders, not the DoD/W.  It's a not so subtle reminder of how they are supposed to conduct themselves.

We should increase that investment

I remember talking with a downtrodden Dominican one time who was talking with some Puerto Ricans, and he was lamenting the fact that their women were ugly compared to the boricuas. When I said, "Well at least your baseball is better." He responded with a, "man fuck baseball, I want some better pussy!"

They are some straight shooters with big ideas but bring your own booze. Oh, and we can pretend to ignore the racism with them like do here with our 80-year-old whites.

Thanks for the translation. 

So, this dickhead has a major hardon about beards in the military, likely as a proxy for practicing Muslims.  And he "taught" counter-insurgency in Afghanistan, a country where 99.9% of the adult male population has beards due to the theocratic mandate.  It gives you some insight to his version of counterinsurgency, one that makes absolutely certain that our otherness is highlighted, rather than trying to blend in.  It's a vision that makes it clear to the conquered people that they are conquered by foreign invaders, who do not share their religion, culture or values.  They are not welcomed to join unless they convert.   

I am so thankful we got out of Afghanistan before this shitshow.
