The Dark Satire of Pete Hegseth’s Quantico Speech

Maybe Dr. Straygelov– The greatest satire, who was once, was closest to the capture of what happened in Kantico on September 30. “God wishes,” says General Jack D. Ripper, crazy, responsible for how the world to his nuclear death. “We will prevail in peace and freedom from fear and true health through the purity and essence of our natural liquids. God bless you all. “

This line continued to return to me when I watched the again wonderful minister of military minister Pit Hegset, Princeton Tori Shock Jock became the Gung-Ho infantryman who has become a disgraced right non-profit non-profit rate, became the interchangeable Fox News Dunce and A reckless ax thrower He turned in a sexual collector-album, became pretending to be a very serious statesman. Referring to Jesus about the gold rule (“do others that you would have done for yourself”) in a room full of generals during the decline of the decadent empire, in itself is not a dark comedy. The fact is that such a fallen, reverent copy, like Pete Brian Hegset, which speaks of the sacred rivals of Stanley Kubrick at his peak.

Unlike the Ripper, Hegset never spoke about the purity and essence of our natural liquids, but his speech came into the same well -being. Most of the diatrine was focused on the obsession with the secretary to restore what he called the “male standard, neutral on gender issues.” For him, this means no longer to endure the “beard”. That is, Sikhs, Muslims or Jews who were allowed to abandon religious goals. As well as black Americans, who were similarly refused from health, which makes regular shaving unbearable.

At times, like the cause of the secretary, he seriously appeared, and I believe that he is convinced that one of the reasons that the United States had lost Kabul is that too many troops had hair on his face. But it is impossible not to wonder if he has more vile motives. Right before the military without the “Scandinavian pagans”, Hegset did not explain without explaining the explicit exclusion of special forces, which continue to warm up in their undisciplined methods. If dirt and military competence contradict, how can they be so accelerated military military? Or does the secretary want to choose for features that are different from competence? He also did not explain how his examples for Menlie the military, from the Spartans to the crusaders, receive a pass. They were not quite pure shaved types, at least they were not Sikhas, Muslims, Jews or black Americans.

The contradictions abound in life and times by Pete Highs. The excessive part of his harangi was concentrated on the thick troops, thick generals and thick admirals. He delighted romance on the return of responsibility, merits and high standards. In the need to reject a stupid leader for qualified and capable: “We just have to be honest. We must tell with our mouths what we see with our own eyes, just say how it is in simple English to point out the obvious things right in front of us. This is what the leaders should do. We cannot go the next day, without turning to the plan in our own eyes, without solving the problem in our own teams and in our own forms.

Then the secretary conducted by Jesus, repaid hypocrisy, greeted Donald J. Trump on stage.

These contradictions indicate something more sinister. And, despite all their “simple English”, people, like a hegset, often fall into euphemism. Against the backdrop of his alleged calls for recovery discipline and standards, our self -thought redemption demanded a curious set of relaxation: “More frivolous complaints. No more anonymous complaints. No longer repeated complaints. No longer smearing the reputation. I didn't wait anymore. More legal limbers. 1948. The same applies to sexual harassment.

Again, it is possible that the secretary of Niminy-Piminy simply loves proper care and is suitable for men. But as someone, who has a long track record of that he was accused of making fanatical statements and abuses for women, including close colleagues and family members, would be nice if hegset – in this case, think about how this is: he does not call for discipline, but about dominance, and with which he left for many years.

In the same way, for the statement of the secretary that the “stupid rules of interaction” have already ended. Hegset was too shy to tell us what specific rules would no longer be observed, but his recent announcement that the butchers in the wounded knees would retain their medals of honor. Just like his participation in Trump's conviction, to pardon or provide a pardon to military criminals Clint Lores, who ordered his people to shoot at unarmed Afghans; Matthew L. Golstein, who is captured; And Eddie Gallagher, who struck a teenager prisoner to death and posed with his body. Or his greeting on Trump's threat to pull the page from the Taliban play and destroy Iran's heritage sites. Hegset's request for discipline collapses against the opposite – a demand for senseless violence and chaos.

For a naive listener, hegset may seem conscientious if the provision of a traditionalist. This, of course, is what he bets on. Speaking to return the “department of the wake -up” military ministry, he insisted that he would simply return to General George Marshall and War Minister Henry Steamson. Trump expressed his associated opinion among his Brushkov when he turned to the heritage of Andrew Jackson, Ulysses Grant, Dwight Eisenhower, Chester Nimitz and Curtis Lemey. Later, the president caused an “adamant power [Gen. George] Patton, [Gen. Omar] Bradley and the Great General Douglas MacArthur. ”

None of these people were left. Most of them were some varied conservative, and they all ended their career with great blood in their arms. But what is most noticeable on this list is its disharmony. On the one hand, a larger number of these figures despised each other. Strong racists and jingo, such as Jackson, Patton, MacArthur and Lemey, throw the relative cosmopolitanism of others into sharp relief. He granted the Grant Confederation and was in solidarity with radical Republicans and black reconstructionists. Marshall was at home with the liberals of the new course and opposed the escalation of tension with China, the founder of Israel (which, as he warned, will turn the Middle East into a fiery storm between generations) and the Dutch invasion of Indonesia, which accompanied the end of the Second World War. Eisenhower confirmed the compromise of the new course, contributed to the cause of civil rights and opposed the fact that he had come up with a military-industrial complex. Eisenhauer, along with Nimit, regretted the use of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and both became critics of nuclear weapons race. In addition, these leaders welcomed the most post -war international order – from the United Nations to International Law – that the current administration is now being established for destruction.

General Omar Bradley once warned: “Our is a world of nuclear giants and ethical babies. We know more about the war than about the world, more about murder than we know about life. ” It is difficult to imagine a more suitable description of the hegset worldview. A lot has been written about the tattoo of Hegset, which reads “Deus Vult”, a Latin phrase that translates as “God wishes this”. The phrase functioned as a fighting scream during the Crusades, and Christian nationalists accepted this call. Hegset himself wrote a book called ” American crusadewhich praises the original item. So, perhaps, he and his colleagues are eventually traditionalists. But their tradition returns to the Holy War, to the most decisive exaltation of violence as a virtue. “No one wants war here,” said Highset, “but we love the world – we love the world for our fellow citizens.” Nevertheless, the world that he describes is the world of conquest, quietly, which follows the ruin. This is the type of world that its chief commander had in mind when he subsequently proposed to turn our cities into “training venues” for the military. Both talk about the world with the same bloody thinking as one of the most crazy creations of Kubrick. Really strange love.
