You need to check yourself. This framing is ridiculous. No one has been defeated—except the media, which has once again surrendered to stenography from notorious liars. The entire war narrative is detached from observable reality but instead of journalism deconstructing it M$M keeps reinforcing it.

hegseth is substituting fitness drills for actual strategy because he lacks the depth to handle modern warfare. it's a classic case of substituting performative masculinity for competence while the real threat from iran remains unaddressed.

Fixating on men's physiques...? It seems less than macho going by their own "metrics" And by "metrics" i think you know what i'm saying... For the party of proud homophobes... They seem a bit "gay" but maybe they're just happy

I think this is yet another impossible foreign policy defeat that reflects poorly on the quality of Western political experts. Our shallow, tribal media coverage completely ignores the root cause—the exact same crisis of expertise that led to a Trump administration in the first place.

I think this gives Hegseth too much credit. There were horse-obsessed generals in 1940 and they could reasonably argue there were no recent large-scale conflicts to show horses were obsolete. Cavalry played a major part in WWI even as the Western Front showed its limits. Tanks weren’t fully proven.

I think we should allow Whitest Knight Crusader Hegseth to form his own crack group of Christian fundamentalists to storm the heathens in the Iranian desert on horseback. We will even commission a poem for him and his doomed charge of the lunatic, but very fit brigade.

Hegeseth helped everyone of our enemies by firing our military leadership with a lot of intellectual capital, depleted our munitions and handed China and Russia a much weaker US. The lesson learned here is that a second rate Fox News host can and did destroy the most powerful military in the world!

Eisenhower pushed out generals who were stuck in the past, with the WW1 mindset, that thought horsemanship and target shooting were the most importan skills. Whiskey Pete is trying to bring back the mindset of the past.
