Hegseth is committing treason. right now. In broad daylight

[Takket]

In the middle of a war he is gutting our military leadership. This is giving "aid and comfort" to Iran, by reducing our abilities militarily, and he should spend the rest of his life in prison for it (If I didn't oppose the death penalty, my thoughts on what his punishment should be would be different. so i settle for life in prison).

Hegseth’s Thursday night purge of Generals continues.

The Armed Services Commitee must demand he and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll answer questions immediately.

And, see if their stories match.

This is all very unprecedented and alarming. Especially in a time of war.🚨🇺🇸

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

1. If he were...

Found face down in a nasty, trashy alley under a dumpster in an old puddle of someone else's vomit... that would be too dignified for him.

[ThoughtCriminal]

2. If the war is going so well...

why is everybody getting purged?

[orangecrush]

7. Because they won't follow insane orders

[mr715]

3. Hegseth doesn't understand he's a civilian

He still thinks he's active duty.

He doesn't get that we don't live in a military junta.

4. It's not a war. It's an Excursion!

Or incursion, or...whatever Trump calls it

[Whiskeytide]

5. So why does he not want black and female officers promoted ...

… to higher command positions? Is he worried they might be more resistant to future orders he is contemplating? Is he worried that black and female personnel might get out of line if their black and female commanding officers set an honorable example.

I don’t think it’s just because he’s racist and misogynistic (though he certainly seems to be both). I suspect there could be more afoot.

[AverageOldGuy]

11. Because black and female officers . . .

. . . should not get out of their place.

Same thing as sitting in the back of the bus.

[orangecrush]

6. They are refusing illegal orders

Is my bet

[purr-rat beauty]

8. Worthy of a...

Traitors treatment.

9. This may be the start of the Holy Week (Passover-Easter) Massacre

This may be the start of the Holy Week (Passover-Easter) Massacre. I bet this General is a Hard No on ground troops. PedoPrez only wants Yes Men around him. The White House must be a 💩storm after his incoherent, bombastic, unmoored speech last night.

10. Shouldn't he be in church for the Holy Thursday service?

[Akakoji]

12. Are they dead yet?

They all need to meet a well deserved demise. Not sure why God is allowing this to continue. Hegseth, Trump, Miller will surely not be admitted to Heaven. Hopefully we know enough to reach out to all our fellow Americans to put an end to Republican rule. It is killing everyone, everywhere, all the time.
