“To our enemies: FAFO,” Hegseth said, using an acronym that translates to “fuck around and find out.”
Hegseth ordered hundreds of U.S. military officials around the globe to meet him at a spontaneous assembly in Virginia, keeping the details of the gathering extremely hush-hush.
The message shocked members of the U.S. military, who could not recall another instance in which a defense secretary summoned so many commanders for a sudden in-person meeting—especially without a clear rationale. Some warned that having so many integral military leaders in one place could pose a national security risk.
As it turns out, the rationale was to rail against the culture wars. Hegseth, pacing back and forth onstage, also leveraged his time in front of America’s military to criticize “woke” ideology. He ordered the armed forces to reset its combat requirements to the “highest male standard only,” a decision that would effectively force women out of the military.
“If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is,” Hegseth said.
The Pentagon chief also nixed medical beard waivers, a decision that will disproportionately affect Black service members due to the curl pattern of the hair on their face.
Aaaand once again a huge gathering of people who are oath-bound to defend the constitution from domestic threats just sat and listened to a domestic threat prancing about a stage, adding to a mountain of failures in their duty to this country.
Cowards and traitors.
Lmao did we watch the same “rally”?
I’m not sure if you were hoping to see a mutiny/uprising? But compare what we did see to a Bush rally circa late 2001. The lack of fucks to give from that audience was palpable.
Hoping, yes. Definitely not expecting, but hoping.
We don’t need them to not give a fuck, we need them to do their job.
