Pete Hegseth

[Downtown1984]

My favorite is the, I didn't serve because I would've punched the DI/DS. Sure, sure you would've. And with the civil war guys you forgot the punisher stickers, always a punisher sticker along with the Grunt Styles shirt.

 

[kegger44]

He's a clown. Left/Right it doesn't matter. Washington will eat you up and consume you. No change is in sight despite we Hegseth or anyone says. Just empty words.

The physicals will be a joke and just eye candy to make the "'Merica" crowd a happy for 5 seconds.

At least the men aren't allowed to wear dresses anymore you stupid bitch.

Stupid bitch? Easy tough guy. You on tren or something?

The people who seem to have issues with glorifying soldiers or thanking them for their service often can't sperate the Government side FROM the soldiers' side. We all know the bullshit wars we've been in for the last 25 plus years (you could even go back to Korea/Vietnam) and wasted money, but my point is it's NOT the soldier's fault, it's the policy and war hawking that puts them in harm's way.

When soldiers sign that dotted line, they put their lives on the line not knowing if tomorrow they will be sent to hell. Their families sacrifice and God knows how they handle the shit they see. I for one, couldn't do it.

Soldiers, I appreciate you. The Government that puts them in harm's way spending trillions of dollars I hate you.

Who here was doing the"worship me for my service routine"? It appears you're the only person trying to brag about your service time in the Army.

This is asinine, so the fellas that work in the motor pool don't count? How about the Naval Flight Officers, since they're not pilots and actually dropping the bombs? Do pilots even count? Looks like only 11Bs count in your book. This may come as a shock to you, but there's got to be some pogues to get shit done, otherwise the door kickers wouldn't be able to do their job.

We now know you hate Pete Hegseth due to him not running around with an M240 in the Battle of Fallujah and apparently he triggered you on Fox. But what are you thoughts on who your boy Biden picked, Lloyd Austin? Was that a spectacular pullout of Afghanistan? How about those mandatory Covid shots for our service military men and women?

And I hate the "thank you for your service" virtual signaling and vets that need to bring up their service in every conversation fishing for it.

Oh boy.... Here we go...

I brought up a few of the things I did to emphasize that I'm not just some joker who spent four years enlisted (30 years ago), who is solely basing my statements on that. My experiences lend credence to the validity of my claims.

For the record, plenty of service and support MOS saw some very real combat during GWOT. This wasn't exclusive to combat arms. The fact that you bring up support MOSs (you did, NOT me) and assume that I mean they don't count tells me how little you actually know about how deployments work. If you spent any time at all in either Iraq or Afghanistan, then you'll know there are a metric fuck ton of people who spend their entire deployments working in a mail room, handing out towels at a gym, and yes, turning wrenches in a motor pool. That said, there are many infantrymen out there who never spent a day in the fight either. There is nothing wrong with this on the surface, but it always seems to be the ones who were the furthest away from the fight who have the biggest mouths about "the hell they saw" during their time in the war.

I used this point to illustrate the fact that no, not everyone walking around with a war vet cap on did anything very meaningful. These are also usually the first assholes in line at IHOP every Veteran's Day for a free meal, just before changing their Facebook profile pic to their million-year-old BCT photo to remind everyone to shoot them a thank you. I see it all the time, and it's nauseating. Or how about the chick who spent her entire enlistment pregnant and on limited duty post-pregnancy. Guess what? She's almost always the first in line to start yacking about this, that, and the other thing that she actually knows fucking nothing about.

Hell, on my last deployment (I won't go into specifics so your pussy doesn't bleed and you accuse me of boasting), our BDE Commander was rotating new LTs "up north" for a day (yes, one fucking day) so they "could get their combat patch." If you think for a second that this type of shit isn't EXTREMELY common and hasn't been going on during each conflict since and including Vietnam, I've got bad news for you.

Maybe you're just getting upset because I'm hitting a nerve? Am I talking about YOU here? Anyway, I'm done. You guys can keep crying.

show me on the doll where the army touched you

You do a whole lot of projecting. I'm not old enough to have served 30 years ago. You're the one who's triggered because I asked if someone "served", remember? I understand you were probably too busy talking about yourself and being triggered by Pete on Fox News, who the fuck watches Fox News?

This threads about Pete Hegseth the Secretary of Defense/War and I'm happy he's there, no crying from me. Possibly try reading the thread.

So what were your thoughts on your boy Biden's pick LLoyd Austin? How about that Afghanistan withdraw? How about those forced VAXX shots? How about them trannys?

 

[Syntha Claus]

A lot of this sounds like the hatred for Trump as president but when you ask what was the alternative or if the other candidate was better, you get some deflection response.
Or like when someone complains about someone doing one thing and asking why they aren't fixing all the other 3 million problems instead.
We are all suffering "death by 1,000 paper cuts" and all we can hope for is to treat a few at a time.

Prompted by this thread, this morning I watched the whole, insufferably politician like speech Hegseth made the other day to the big dicks in the military. I really can't say I disagreed with anything he said. On the surface, it sounds good to me.
Maybe you had to live through the absolute demoralization I experienced during my time in? I can guarantee the useful troops are cheering, inside at least.

Then shut the fuck up.

I can't speak my mind because I didn't serve as a boomer? What the fuck kind of drugs are you on?

Edit: Not everybody on this board is a boomer you fucking clown.

 

[heckler7]

I believe the whole thank you for your service started in 95, when Scott Ogrady was rescued, aftwards he was interviewed and said you should thank servicemen for what they do.

I just looked and Pete Hegseth was born in 1980, he's not old enough to have served 30 years ago either. But the mans Secretary of War already. Is that what you're upset about, being an old has-been?
3+ more years of President Trump and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of War!

I think its side effects from taking tylenol

I got a customer that is 100% disabled. Officer, never fired a shot, never was shot at, just retired from a GS15 job, now hired again as a GS13. ALL WHILE being 100% disabled for mental disorder.
I really struggle with it. He can ask for a change of task at his job, because he's struggling with the current task. He can leave for a week and go 4 wheeling without taking any PTO or sick leave, because he's disabled.
This is the shit that needs to end.

I mean maybe the abuse of the system needs to end, especially if they’re non combat

But there’s also plenty that serve and who have seen action that come back wired extremely tight with obvious PTSD, anger and impulsivity—like their fight or flight system never turns off. Those types of systems are probably more oriented for these types of people

So it’s kind of hard to fix because if you remove the system all together the people that actually need it will be hurt, but at the same time there’s also going to be people that abuse any system

 

[Sector.]

There’s a guy at my gym I talk to regularly that served in Afghanistan, he’s told me a few stories and shared a few pictures, and you can tell he’s definitely seen and done some shit.

Wired to the max, wide eyed, always angry about someone using a machine that he wants, borderline psychotic, but I’m nice to him because I respect his service, and I also don’t want to be a target if he snaps. He’s a nice guy, but just always on edge, fight or flight mode always on

He’s always polite and respectful with me, trusts me enough to vent, so that’s all that matters, but you can just tell that combat really changes people. They just don’t come back to the same. I think those programs are really helpful for people in his situation.

more people are hurt and killed in training than people know about and its every bit as traumatic as in combat

Exactly what we earned.

Actually you just brought up a fun game. Most of Trump's Cabinet don't make it to the final episode, based on the previous season. They get fired on Twitter, called no-talent hacks, and ejected from TrumpWorld eventually. The time to firing can be measured in Scaramuccis.

Do we wanna bet money on Hegseth getting removed before 4 years is up? I'm willing to bet he fucks up and hits his wife or does something similar that causes an uproar and he bows out.

I'll take that bet? We should go year to year though.

Secretary of War now, huh? That's adorable. So, who are we gonna spend the next twenty years and trillions of dollars, and countless lives fighting to make our politicians richer?

Warmongers gonna warmonger: a tale as old as time.

I know its not the same thing but what you said makes me think of the folks that park in a handicapped spot at the super market, hop out of a lifted 4x4 and then proceeds to jog into the store.
I know Its not my business but I do shake my head, like wtf you can walk an extra 5 parking spots, how a person reconciles that is okay behavior is mind boggling to me
I live in Texas where this happens daily, we are the land of lifted trucks haha

if Im running in real quick for a 18 pack of modelo Im guilty, what I find funny is people trying to get the closest spot but then spend an hour doing several laps around the store. Like costco thats gotta be several hundred steps as opposed to adding 50 more for a further away spot

we are still in the hegseth thread right? PH has 2 bronze stars, altho nothing says valor like scarfing down some AFFEES toranodos and getting back to work without shitting your pants

OK bud. First off, blow me. Yeah, there may be outliers.... But you show me a group of 100 recruits, any branch of service, at any MEPS location, and I'll show you 100 people who joined for the sign-on bonus, family medical benefits, G.I.Bill, life insurance, paycheck, advancement opportunities, citizenship opportunities, etc..... The last breath of their answer to the question, "Why did you join?" may be something about "Oh, my dad was in, or I wanted to serve my country." But that's usually about the extent of it.

BTW, every conflict has had its fair share of people who contributed very little. This may come as a shock to you, but believe it or not, not every WWII vet stormed the beach at Normandy or got dropped into Sicily DZ. There's a whole lotta Vets out there, young and old, wearing campaign hats, looking for a "Thank me for my service" that didn't actually do shit. So take your high horse somewhere else.

You forgot about the ones that are out of other options and even the ones that have the option to join or go to jail......

 

[S00Meaty]

Your blaming him for past wars? Seriously.. He’s just interested in getting our military back and get away from the political pandering bs..

I don't follow bro.

So in an attempt to get away from the political pandering BS, the presumably former alcoholic Fox Weekend Host summons the country's military brass (at no small cost) to have a televised partisan pep rally.
