It was Hegseth

Bailey, don't be surprised if this post doesn't age well.

Trump won't fire Hegseth now... He'll never let his critics get a win. But he'll be gone sooner than later.... Same as how Musk has been sidelined and on his way out.

Looks like full blown chaos at the pentagon. Leaks, back stabbings, administrative leaves, firings, ambitious underlings, and more. Sounds like House of Cards. . Yet highly successful operations against the Houthis, including B2’s and bunker busters. I expected this chaos in many areas. Good news it’s only pentagon—so far. I’m not sure anybody Trump would want to appoint would be better.
If only the cause of the chaos was known . . .

Pete Hegseth never should have been confirmed and he should be shown the door ASAP. I'm plugged in with many in DoD and universally they think Hegseth is a joke and unqualified, and that he's a bold-faced liar. He says he didn't put classified information into Signal and every person that knows about strike mission plans and the information contained in them knows that they're always classified. The classification guide requires them to be Top Secret. It's not a good thing when the people within DoD don't respect the SecDef because the SecDef deserves no respect.

The fake news left is alive and well.

Check back in when Hegseth resigns or is fired. It's going to happen, and it can't happen soon enough. Only fools thought he was a good choice for SecDef to begin with.

It's clear that hard core MAGAbots like yourself don't give two shits for protecting national security information or for the rule of law.

My bet is on Hegseth resigning. Trump likely won't publicly fire him, but he would tell Hegseth that it's time for him to resign.

The Pentagon is filled with two types of people. War fighters and careerists. Hegseth is weeding out the careerists.

If I was Hegseth it would be a simple litmus test.

“How many degrees do you have?

“More than two?”

“You’re gone.”

If you wanna be an academic, go be an academic. No room for you here.

There we go! Ignorant Googly (Farv) speaks. There is no one that know less about the Pentagon on this entire board than you do.

What do your DoD buddies think of Trump’s and Hegseth’s efforts to end military DEI and woke. If Trump chose another anti-woke person, would that person also meet resistance?

Seems some of you think that the DEI initiatives were popular within DoD. They weren't. It really just meant another hour or two of stupid training per year to them. It really didn't change the DoD or the military in any significant way, but it won't be missed. No one is "resisting" Hegseth by the way; they just don't respect him. No one will care that a new SecDef is anti-woke.

Dumb. The people that got canned were literally Hegseth's closest people, those that came into the Pentagon with him. Pete is on very borrowed time.

Damn. Some serious smoke. Aloha may be right actually.

Hope you guys are ready for Secretary of Defense Michael Flynn or Steve Bannon.

Will teach you about the grass being greener.
Republicans rolled over to confirm Hegseth when most knew they shouldn't have. That's not going to happen again. Neither Flynn nor Bannon would have a chance of confirmation. Both are nuts and Bannon is no more qualified than Hegseth.

"Due to the Lamestream media and organizations like NPR, who were all in on the Russia hoax and denying the existence of the laptop, spreading rumors and outright lies about me while running interference for the woke left, I've decided the best way for me to affect the change we've desired is for me to step aside and allow the spotlight to return to the reform that our military and its warriors so desperately needs and deserves."
 
I'd bet that he got drunk with his entourage on one of his trips. He claimed he would stop drinking if he was confirmed (classic alcoholic promise) but he's been seen drinking at official social events. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing he went on a bit of a bender and the word is getting out.
So what! Ulysses S Grant.

Who would be acceptable to you and Trump?
Kellogg, retired LTG and current Ukraine envoy, Joni Ernst or DeSantis. In that order for me. Who knows who the President will pick? Total and complete loyalty to him is his top priority and I think all three of these choices wouldn't consider that their top priority. They've all taken oaths to support and defend the constitution above all.

Ernst has shown no backbone. She voted for the asshole when she was threatened with a primary.
 
Just make it make sense. The Dems don't actually give a damn about this.

Its the same 2016 playbook all over again so they can force him out and get an establishment guy in who will do what they want. Isn't going to be so easy for them this time around though. The cycle on El Salvador is running out and this will be the thing now for the next week. Then onto something else.

I agree he shouldn’t replace him with an establishment guy. Three good choices would be Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley, or Kelly Ayotte.

You’re right after dbm on the dumbest poster list. You’re embarrassments to the Republican Party.
 
I loved the Hegseth appointment when it happened... and I love it even more now after reading this thread.

You guys need help. You actually spent part of Easter Sunday discussing this?

Damn. And please...for my amusement...Carry on!
You don’t care for competence, expertise and concern for protecting national security information. Got it.
