Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense

The distinction I’m making is between us sinning (we all do everyday) and a person who professes teachings that go against Christianity. Bulky was drawing a conclusion that he is more of a Nationalist than a Christian because of his sins. I disagree. Now, if Pete is saying it’s ok to cheat on your wife, that would run counter to the teachings of Christ and I would agree with Bulky.
Why should anyone care what conclusion a troll comes to?
 
Of course not. It just means he has a tattoo of a phrase that has been adopted by white supremacists. And he likely knew that when he got the tattoo.
Is it a phrase adopted by white supremicists? I have no idea.

I'll bet some white supremicists have tattoos of the American flag too - better not have a tattoo of an American flag anywhere on him!

You should really try Google sometime. It’s a great way to learn things.

Any decent Officer would know what tattoos are impermissible.

I don't spend my time worrying about white nationalists, but if you want to be an expert on them, knock yourself out.

I don't waste my time on nutcases, unless they're on the Cooler.
 
I don’t think so.
I don't, either. I think most tattoos like that are there because people think they look cool.

I've watched Pete a lot as a host on Fox. He's a level headed person who has strong n - on the military, in particular - but I haven't heard anything radical from him.

But does he actually have PTSD?

Stupid stuff like this is why god invented 4 letter words to use against people.
I also have an old white flour sack, that was my great grandma's dress. I only have it because I love the KKK.
The people recently voted this stupid shit down. Now, change yourself.

Trum hasn't even taken office yet, and all of the stupidity, obvious false bullshit spewed by news people that we are forced to pay for, have been proven to have been pumping intentional, false info to the masses. Let me say that slower.. Intentionally Spreading known, false information to the US Masses.. Known False, intentional spreading..
THEY KNEW IT WAS FALSE !!! and still to this day, spread it... Let me say it louder. Our "news" people KNEW that they were being paid to spread lies and they took the $$$ and did it anyway.

I'm a simple, country boy redneck. I Never expect to be Jamie Diamonds rich, nor need to be. Good for him. But I know when someone is trying to lie to me. I know when people treat me like I am illiterate. I am not. I see everything that you are doing and trying to do TO ME ! Republicans are working to do things FOR ME, not to me.

Dem's. You are, possibly forever, dead to me. In short, piss off.

It’s called Happy Hour, not Unhappy Hour. You go to the wrong bars.
 
Sorry buddy. DoD is getting an overhaul.

Bitchy, obsequious flag officers who wax poetic about White Rage and vaccination rates will be out on their ass.
You don't know any flag officers, but as usual you'll talk out your ass about them. I'd prefer you just STFU.
 
The tat is more than just the cross, I guess. From WSJ:

The email, dated Jan. 14 and sent from a former Washington, D.C., Guard member, included an attachment showing a shirtless Hegseth with a tattoo on his bicep inscribed, “Deus Vult.” A quick google search told Gaither the Latin phrase means “God wills it,” which served as a battle cry for Christians during the Crusades and has become associated with white extremist groups, he told The Wall Street Journal. The pictures also showed that Hegseth has a large Jerusalem cross tattoo. Gaither said he was not concerned about the cross—it was the “Deus Vult” that worried him.
Depends when he got it. That symbol has indeed been co-opted by white supremacists, but relatively recently. If it's a really old tattoo, it might simply mean he's very Catholic.

arggh. Do you know how many Swastikas you will see in India within a 20 minute drive? We get so caught up in shapes.. Like 1st graders pounding squares into round holes. .. God we are stupid.
 

 

Oh wait - we're believing whistle blowers now?
 

"The report also says that Hegseth, who was married at the time, and other members of his management team sexually pursued the organization’s female staffers, whom they divided into two groups—the “party girls” and the “not party girls.”"

Any names in this report?

A background investigation would dig up the real dirt. Only problem is that so far, Trump hasn't signed the transition documents which would allow background investigations to begin on all his nominees. He also doesn't want FBI background investigations on any of his nominees. He's making a mistake on this because any hidden dirt will eventually come out and it could be very embarrassing for him.

To paraphrase Woody Guthrie in Alice's Restaurant Massacree (" 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages...after being a litterbug." )

You want to know if Hegseth is moral enough to run the military which burns women, kids, houses, and villages... after being a skirt chaser?

I'm not sure the morality issue is the most significant one.

The SecDef is in charge of a bureaucracy of 3 million people. He's got one of the most important jobs in the world, in charge of the most powerful and dangerous military the world has ever seen. And this guy has PTSD, gets drunk a lot, and can't control himself?

I heard Peggy Noonan today talking about this with my future wife, Barri Weiss. She said we need a serious person running that department. Someone who is experienced, understands the bureaucracy, and can implement change if that is what is wanted and needed. I think she's right and this Hegseth guy doesn't appear to fit the bill.

Is a malignant narcissist (or sociopath) even capable of experiencing embarrassment?

“Future wife” ?

She plays on the other side.

Allegedly. Grant got drunk a a lot and was a helluva general and a decent President.

The military culture needs to change and appointing someone from the good old boy network won't get it done.

I think Hegseth is deadly serious and, with the world it is today, we need a military that is more interested in winning than equal outcome.
