Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."

"We're gonna go on offense not just defense. Maximum lethality not tepid legality" Sounds like the language of someone getting ready to commit war crimes. Hegseth is a moron and he will do what the power behind the scenes wants. Venezuala is #1 on the list of worlds oil reserves. US ships r there

It’s all about theft. Smash and grab. Shakedown. Intimidate. Blackmail. Exterminate all that threaten your grift. It’s what most liars are really all about.

All these guys love to hear themselves talk. They love hearing themselves spew things they think are intelligent. He should resign from whatever post he thinks he's in charge of. Conspiracy to commit crimes is a thing.

Meanwhile, when whatever wars they create are happening. He'll be cowering in a bunker. It's a shame that the leaders no longer have to lead the troops into battle. They wouldn't be so keen on war then.

So the new policy amounts to little more than an invitation: conscript the unhinged and the bloodthirsty (i.e. MAGA), ply them with cheap liquor, and set them loose under the banner of patriotism. This is not national defense—it is state-sanctioned barbarism dressed in red, white, and blue.

It's what the Nazis did in the 30s. They attracted the psychopaths, sadists and bullies of society into the SS. That is what is happening with ICE and now it seems other arms of the US government. This is going to end badly ( & take a long time to fix).

well i doubt they have solid union backed contracts , i would suspect any new hires by this regime to be fireable on the spot. so there is that at least

Were these the warriors spreading mulch and picking up trash, Pete? Cool to see he’s just going straight to violence too. Message received Kegstand, the 2nd Amendment doesn’t just apply to conservatives Lotta people about to find that fact out

They're going to raise up warriors who can only work for ICE because they're uneducated psychopaths and the economy is dead. Warriors who will die with the rest of us from the next pandemic or climate catastrophe because we gave up on science and reason as a society.

So basically the man who’s pining for a Nobel Peace Prize just gave authority to his newly minted Department of War to use maximum lethality on the offensive🤯 What freekin’ alternate universe have we collided into☠️

We saw it coming but couldn't convince MAGA to actually read Project 2025. Republicans better stand up for democracy 😤. At this point, they are all complicit. Sickening 🤬 defend an adjudicated rapist, felon, Epstein teen trafficking pedophile is our fckng president! Sickens me 😤

I’m so sorry he’s your president😢 It’s not your fault, and we (Canada and the rest of the world) know there are many more democracy supporters than MAGAs. Hang in there and keep resisting.✌️

MAGA has always supported Project 2025; it’s their manifesto. Did they read it, know what it contained? Highly unlikely. They just didn’t care as long as their bigoted, law-breaking, anti-establishment, gun supporting, white nationalist Demi-god got into power.

They don't stand up for democracy because they don't want a democracy. They are Nazis who want an autocracy, and they are making it happen. It is a sloppy job, done mostly by television personalities, but it is effectively destroying our country nonetheless.

Every vapid son-of-a-moron (I know some personally) who voted for this on the basis that Trump was going to "end wars" and "get the US out of foreign wars" can kiss my enraged middle-aged ass. We were *always* headed here. They just wanted cover for their shitty vote.

It appears this regime has some serious issues with their “manhood.” Little stupid boys playing big bad games will soon find out. Castration won’t be enough for these criminals when we have our International Criminal Tribunals.

The sad thing is that there’s a scary number of male youths that are eager to sign up for it. They believe Fortnite has been training them for war and they are prepared. Most of these kids couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag.

Wow, saying they will use “maximum lethality not tepid legality” sure sounds like lawless use of force whenever and wherever they see fit. This continues to not bode well for America and abroad.

I guess minimally I was expecting more people to be mad their taxes were paying for these guys' salaries and weird escapades, not to mention their substance addictions. And in this guy's case a full War Barbie makeup studio.

Oh, ain’t he so pretty! I see him in front of his soft focus makeup mirror, practicing different facial expressions as he tells himself that he, like the wicked stepmother from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs, is the fairest in the land!

His first mistake was accepting the position. Sold your soul to the devil who can’t be that bad. Or the $$ was enough for him to resolve any prior commitment to the code. Cheeto still tells the faux story about meeting him and he had to put a statement out saying that it was false.

I mean, he was an O-4 in the National Guard. Not exactly military leadership. A captain, but not in the cool Navy way. In the Army way where the NCOs tell their enlisted guys about how dumb he is and might get them all killed.

Exactly. All dudes like this have amazingly small penises: I’m a male & have been in locker rooms and I know factually that there is a direct correlation between small penis size & hyperbolically performative masculinity.

They are working to turn our military against those who stand against their regime. They are going to build a Trumpian Military. He wants to be another Chi, or Putin, or Un. THIS is what this is all about. America will be in a war against each other. How sad.
