Did you see Pete Hegseth's speech today?

[Dargil]

It might do you some good. Reminds me of George C Scott's Patton speech.

To all you leftist cranks here We won, you lost. You will likely lose more at the mid terms. Enjoy the ride and the Schumer Shutdown.

[Syntosi]

A bit. Did not stick around though since it just keeps reminding me of Pete Hegseth, an 0-4 whose main duties are basically cleaning toilets, speaking to a room full of star generals and people so above his paygrade that he does not deserve to shine their boots.

It also reminds me of how incompetent the Trump administration is. This was supposed to be like when in 1934 Hitler voided the military original pledge to the country and forced them to swear the oath to him instead. If in style at least if you dont agree with me in the similarities of the content. It was supposed to have gravitas and weight. In reality, what I got from it was just a bunch of social media influences trying to shoot the next Hollywood military blockbuster movie in their garage.

The fact remains that this is pretty much an unprecedented meeting which they called for no adequate reason and wasted the time of some of the most important military staff in the country just to film it and put it up on TV to score some PR. It is a pathetic usage of the literal military power of America. Once again, these people just show the world that they dont know what they are doing by undermining their own efforts through their own incompetence.

[contentious]

Yep. No more dudes in dresses. No more racial or gender favoritism. No more nation building. No more climate change. No more fat bodies. Clean cut. All war all the time. Kill! Kill! Kill! Merit based promotion. Kick ass and take names. Shark attacks coming for you...

[seeyounexttuesday]

Hilarious that the whacked out lefties expected this meeting would be an announcement of martial law, an announcement of a world wide war.

This is why they should never be taken seriously.

[Syntosi]

You do realize that this is worse right? Like seriously, putting aside all the bullshit speeches, why was there even civilians with cameras allowed to film this "meeting"? Pete Hegseth just made the whole country into a joke because he does not know what this kind of meeting signifies and instead treated it as a photo opportunity.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi It signifies the end of your lefty bullshit in the military.

[Syntosi]

Tell me that this "meeting" does not look like a TED talk and then tell me that this is not a pathetic image for the "number 1 military in the world".

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi The job of the #1 military in the world is to kill people and brake shit. Not whatever the fuck this is:

[Syntosi]

Ah yes. The job of the #1 military in the world is to "attend meetings that could have been an email (tm)" where some twerp on stage rambles on about how they should allow bullying and hazing in a supposedly "professional" army.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you could continue your current SOP of crying like a bitch about it on the internet.

[Syntosi]

... What part of the soy boy Pete Hegseth whining on stage does not sound like crying like a bitch on the internet to you?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you don’t understand most of the words you type, do you.

[Syntosi]

Ditto.

[Syntosi]

As opposed to Pete Hegseth who spent how long whining about about woke rules and criminals being held to account for their actions?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I know, criminals being held accountable for their actions is an odd concept for you degenerates.

[Syntosi]

Its so refreshing to see you openly defending rapists and violent people instead of only doing so covertly.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi moron, the military is supposed to be violent. I’ll wait for you to prove I defend rapists.

[Syntosi]

Uh-huh? Sure man. The military is supposed to harm and abuse their own soldiers and staff.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you got nothing so you’re as usual going off the rails. Good effort though, you’ll get ‘em next time.

[Syntosi]

"got nothing"? He literally said that superiors should "lay hands" on other people in the military, and its up to you if you think that means sexual assault or just assault, and Pete Hegseth also said that he would stop most people from submitting sexual assault claims within the military.

It really shows which one of us watched the "meeting" and which one fell asleep in front of fox news or whatever.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi yeah, I’m sure you heard one thing and typed another. It’s typical once information is transmitted through your smooth brain. You dopes are unable to understand the meaning of most words. I blame years of you being told what to think instead of how to think.

[Syntosi]

As I have said many time, Ditto.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi except you're the one who is claiming that Hegseth told soldiers to beat and rape each other. The fact you type that and think it's real is amazing.

[Dargil]

@Syntosi It wasn't classified. The meeting between the FBI and staff at Mar-A-Lago involved civilians with cameras , too. Your ignorance is showing. You actually know better. You and the rest of your TDS schizo, fascist, angry incel Karens and leftist nut balls. Make up silly toss off statements and hope some moron believes them.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday
"think that"? Dude, he said it straight up.

[Syntosi]

@Dargil
Show me the last meeting with top military leaders that wasn't classified. Ill wait.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi of course he didn’t say that and you’re a lying sack of shit. I don’t need to show an unclassified meeting with top military leaders because it’s irrelevant. What law indicates every meeting with top brass needs to be top secret when the items being discussed are not top secret.

That’s what you’re whining about today?

[Syntosi]

So what you are saying is that this meeting could have been an Email. Congratulations.

Also, direct quote from his speech:
"That is why today at my direction, we are drastically reducing the ridiculous amount of mandatory training that
individuals and units must execute. We've already ended the most egregious.
Now, we're giving you back real time. Less PowerPoint briefings and fewer online courses, more time in the motor"

So yeah.. He wants less training and classes. Unarguably so.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi that is purely your uneducated opinion. And you’re just proving what a great job he’s doing. The more you whine and cry the more I know it was the right decision.

[Syntosi]

... You do realize that I was hoping he would do this right? It makes you all look like idiots. I was afraid that he would actually do something competent in this meeting but any assumption that this might have been the case has since evaporated.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you are hilarious. Literally no one gives a shit what you think. You’re crying to yourself. Meanwhile our military is getting better. You seething about it is just gravy. Your impotent rage is affecting you only.

[Syntosi]

Oh, I dont care about your feelings either soy boy. And how exactly is the military getting better again? The "Every soldier is an infantry man" mentality perhaps that Pete rambled on about like a fanboy? Yeah.. It really shows that you dont actually understand the military outside of what you see in the movies.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi bahaha. Yes, we do not need trannies in the military. But now they’re civilians your dating pool went up. It’s gotta be frustrating to you that you shitlibs are in the trash heap of history.

[Syntosi]

There you go again demonstrating that you dont care about standards in the military since you against "trannies" on the basis of their identity rather than what they can do. Fuckt that one up now did you?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi are you drunk? Trannies are mentally ill. And need continual medication. Two things not exactly good for morale and the front lines.

But since you think they will pass the physical requirements that destroys the whole “trans women are women” narrative

[Syntosi]

That some pretty excuses you have there. Were a shame if I did not care about your feelings on the matter.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you’ve lost the ability to use English. Go pass out with your boyfriend

[Syntosi]

Oh really? A spot of homophobia sprinkled into your bigotry? You really do embody the true spirit of conservatism.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi are you embarrassed you are gay? Cause you are projecting your revulsion

[Syntosi]

? If I were gay then I would not be "projecting me revulsion"? God you are stupid.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi it seems that way. Because if you weren’t embarrassed you’d gladly take the suggestion. I’m happy to crawl in bed with my wife and would never get butthurt if someone suggested I did so. But since you are literally butthurt you’re all uppity.

[Syntosi]

I am not the one who tried to use sexuality to attack. Are you trying to confess to something here?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I’m telling you that you’re drunk and unable to even type any more. so it’s time to go lay down with your boyfriend and sleep it off.

[Syntosi]

Yeah, yeah. Continue to try deflect away from your fragile masculine ego.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi ok ok, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were so repulsive that even a gay guy would want to fuck you. I assumed you could at least find a guy desperate enough to hang out with you. I stand corrected.

[Syntosi]

You are still going on about this aren't you? Some people would call that an obsessive interest in the topic.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I just tried to assume you weren’t a complete incel. I stand corrected.

[Syntosi]

can't be true, I would have to be right wing for that like all the other losers.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi apparently it is, because you got all defensive when I said you were drunk and it was time to go to bed with your boyfriend

[Syntosi]

Your inability to read my social ques are not the same as me actually being defensive, it just means you suck at empathy and reading social interactions.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you can come out of the closet. It’s fine.

[Syntosi]

Again, sounds like projection to me.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I'm not the one crying on the internet because the secretary of war came out and told the top brass of the military that woke and degenerate garbage isn't allowed in the military any more.

[Syntosi]

I am not crying about the TED talk delivered by the secretary of defense. I am embarrassed for how he used the military generals as props for a political photo opportunity. Also, you want the military to hate your administration? This is a good first step to accomplishing this and I have heard a lot of very unflattering things said by these generals about their opinion of the secretary of defense playing public speaker.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi of course you are. The ones that "hate the administration" probably need to be rooted out of the military as well. It's time for the woke mind virus to be eradicated.

[Syntosi]

Good luck with that. The military are experts in ignoring retarded administrations and I doubt this time would be much different. I can't wait for the secretary of defense to whine about how "slowly" the military moves to comply with anything he tries to do going forward.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi we'll see about that. Considering your track record on everything else you pontificate about, I'm not to worried.

[Syntosi]

True. My predictions has been pretty accurate so far. I dont expect any surprises this time either.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi lol. name one - that the economy is going to explode? My portfolio's up almost 20%. I've gained more in 10 months than you make in a year.

[Dargil]

@Syntosi Let me tell you this. This is not a pathetic image for the "number 1 military in the world". That's what we had before. Right?

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday
Well, for one I did predict that this meeting would be a complete waste of everyones time while everyone else ran around shouting about invasion plans and whatnot.

Also, are you aware of the buffet indicator?
https://thebuffettindicator.com/
I am sure there is nothing wrong with the economy when the stockmarket is overvalued by 220%. Its not like this has historically been correlated with the biggest economic crashes in human history. Carry on.

[Syntosi]

@Dargil
So you dont think its embarrassing for a failed 0-4 to rant about personal grooming and bodily appearances on stage in front of the leadership of the greatest army in history?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi you mean the secretary of war who is doing something a lot of the military and most of the country he serves wants? All for it. To have no more perverts in dog costumes in a US military uniform and a fit and strong fighting force? Great!

[Syntosi]

No, I mean the secretary of defense who is doing something a lot of the military and most of the country hates. Furthermore, its not even about loving or hating the changes and it speaks volumes that you are not arguing over actual results.

Its all fee-fees with you people.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi but he isn’t. This is the fundamental problem with you. you don’t understand that.

[Syntosi]

Dude. Apparently only one of us has suffered through the TED talk about male grooming and body standards and it is not you.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi aw just because you don’t meet the standards doesn’t mean other people can’t.

[Syntosi]

What standards? Having 4 star generals clean shaven?

It all smacks of a kid who grew up seeing the military as super heroes and becoming disillusioned when he finally meets one and finds out that they are just human. In fact, this whole TED talk tantrum sounds a lot like this guy:

[Dargil]

@Syntosi Nonsense, but entertaining, from one of GAG's designated court jesters.

[Syntosi]

You say that as if its an insult when in reality, comedy and indeed the court jesters were tasked to speaking truth to power and make fun of powerful people on the basis of their flaws. Congratulations on airing your dirty laundry regarding your general ignorance of common sense topics.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi can you do a single pull up?

[Syntosi]

Not while having to carry your Luddite ass out of the middle ages.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi so absolutely you can’t. Lol. Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

[Syntosi]

Oh noes~ A loser on the internet is trying to insult me based on his own flawed stereotypes! Whatever shall I do? Where is the internet police when you need them?

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi I’m not the boy whining about the military.

[Syntosi]

... Really? Dude, the secretary of defense spent like that entire speech whining about the military being fat and stupid or whatever.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi and you felt personally attacked. That’s why you are lashing out

[Syntosi]

No, I sensed your weakness.

[exitseven]

It was a declaration that American military will be more about winning wars than it will be about pronouns.

[Syntosi]

Sure buddy. Thats why he spoke about lowering standards and reducing training. What a fucking joke.

[exitseven]

@Syntosi If you watched Pete Hegseth you would have seen it is quite the opposite.

[Syntosi]

I did watch and he explicitly said it.

[exitseven]

@Syntosi Thius is the new standard'
news.usni.org/.../pentagon-issues-new-guidance-on-physical-fitness-grooming-standards-following-quantico-speech

[Dargil]

And no more FAT PEOPLE.

[Syntosi]

Uh-huh? Where is the part about reducing training times and qualifications? You know, the part that actually matters rather than grooming standards.

[Anonymous]

lefties are crying over Pete equalizing physical standards for combat roles lmao

[DrPepper12]

Absolutely embarrassing. Cringe.

[Pterodon]

Yes I did and as a vet I applauded it
