Pete Hegseth Secretary of Defense

[Lucy01]

Secretary Hegseth needs to get a handle on whoever he put in charge of erasing DEI content on DoD websites because they're screwing it up! Eliminating pages of MOH winners who happen to be black, eliminating history of Japanese American soldiers in WWII, eliminating code talker pages, etc., ain't the way. Sure, they're putting some of this stuff back, but what frickin' idiot(s) thinks that it's ridding DEI content to eliminating pages like this?

Medal of Honor recipient depicted in movie 'Glory' erased from Pentagon website

Denzel Washington reenacted the heroics of Sgt. William Carney in the movie "Glory." The Pentagon removed a story about him for DEI reasons.

I am so over this DEI promotions.

I think you’re underpromoted, Lucy.

Pete's brother Phil is probably the best guy for the job:

Hegseth’s younger brother is serving in a key role inside the Pentagon

Phil Hegseth’s publicly available resume includes founding his own podcast production company and working on social media and podcasts.

Everyone at the Pentagon leaking sensitive and classified information should be marched out and prosecuted if appropriate:

Pentagon senior adviser Dan Caldwell ousted in probe into leaks

Officials said Caldwell’s sudden downfall is tied to an ongoing investigation into unauthorized disclosure of department information.

When is Pete Hegseth (not his brother Phil) being marched out?

He's the one cleaning house. Why do think he's gone?

He exposed Top Secret strike mission information on Signal. You know this.

No he didn't.

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

No he didn't.

Oh yes he did. Anyone that says he didn’t is lying or ignorant. There are no other possibilities. Which are you?

No he didn't. And I'm not ignorant or lying.

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

No he didn't.

Just wait until Pete Post on Signal that "we have an Army".
It will all hit the fan then! Navy will be pissed for not being mentioned in the top secret info!

Or wait until he calls his Chinese counterpart and tells them we have no intention of attacking them and that he'll notify them if that changes.

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

No he didn't. And I'm not ignorant or lying.

You are one or the other. There is no other option. The information came directly from a strike mission plan and it’s not disputable. I’ve seen strike plans myself. The CIA Director acknowledged under oath that strike plans before the strike are classified Top Secret per the classification guide. Everyone in the administration claiming it’s not classified is lying. Hegseth’s is lying and there are few in DoD that don’t know that - and that’s because those few are ignorant.

Are you ignorant or lying? It’s one or the other.

See, I knew that we would finally agree. Great that you finally came around.

Does that mean you don’t want to admit you’re ignorant or that you don’t want to admit you’re lying?

It means go away, little man.

You can’t handle the truth!!

I suspect you’re a bit smaller than me, and I’m not small, since you’re so much older and probably shrinking. 😄

I’ll leave the seat and lid up for you too. You women are inconsiderate to insist the seat be put down for you.

I keep waiting to shrink, but I'm 1/2" shorter now than I was when I was in my 20s. My wife seems to be shrinking, though.

I think my wife is too. She did great with cancer treatment but I think it accelerated the aging process just a bit and she’s a little smaller. Still active with exercise and all that she did before.

My wife is incredibly active. Makes me feel like a slug. Her grandmother was like that - go-go all day and I think she's inherited that gene. Healthy as a horse, too.

These are all guys new to the Dod, right? Maybe some confusion over what could be shared?

Whatever it is, it must be a big deal.

Rookies doing rookie things possibly, but I believe all three were in the military so shouldn’t be like rookies.

Aren’t both also possible?

Could be. So they were going to brief him and the President did the right thing and canceled it? Sounds a little hard to believe.

Right. Make sure Trump doesn't get credit for anything.

I was joking. If he did that, he did the right thing. If that was Hegseth's plan, he was planning to do the wrong thing and the President corrected his mistake.

It looks like a mess. I predicted after the Signal debacle that Hegseth would be the first Secretary to depart one way or the other. I'm sticking with that prediction.

According to Fox News….Kasper had a “deep vendetta” against the other three and believed they were trying to get him fired.

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat

The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

He should be gone.

Any other SecDef would have resigned, and any other President would have fired him if he didn't. There is the fact that probably no other SecDef would have shared classified strike mission details in an unauthorized forum.
