Trump and Minister of Defense called the best military leaders to the side of authoritarianism and abuse, but the officers did not feel a message.
No one knew why the Minister of Defense Pit Highset called the 800 best military leaders in the United States, from posts around the world, to the Marine Corps in Kantico, Virginia, yesterday for the most expensive and boring rallies in world history. He wanted to free the “spirit of warriors” among men – and a handful of those present women, he said in his speech for them. The meeting was noted “the liberation of the soldiers of America, by name, in business and in the authorities,” he continued. “You kill people and break things for life. You are not politically correct and not necessarily belong to a polite society. ”
Perhaps Hegset thought he was turning to the last class of ice recruits. How could he say that the auditorium, filled with outstanding officers, in uniform and decorated with medals, sitting with an ideal posture, that they “do not always belong to a polite society”? It was one moment – there were many others – when I could not help but wonder what the assembled was thinking about. It is likely that it seems that the Senator -VVS veterinum Mark Kelly told reporters after the speech: “This is what you get when you install a guy on Saturday of the morning news service as a Minister of Defense.” Or, as someone said: “Secretary of Kegstnd.” In any case, he did not receive applause or laughter from the crowd.
Hegset took the opportunity to declare several new rules, including what he called the “Grumin standards.” “There is no longer a beard, long hair, a superficial individual expression. We are going to cut our hair, shave our beards and adhere to the standards, ”he said. This ban on beards is frankly racist, since black men are disproportionately suffering from a skin condition that makes shaving painful, sometimes impossible. But this does not stop there. Since he “directs that combat combat combat work performs their fitness service at the gender-neutral of the age of the male standard, which was gained above 70 percent”, women will not be in battle if they cannot comply with the exact standards for the training of men. He lifted the ban on the brutal hazardous role of young recruits in training and seemed to encourage the torture of enemy combatants. He ridiculed the so -called “rules of interaction” as “weak” and “waking up”. Oh, and fat is not allowed in the corps of warriors.
“If a military secretary can make regular hard PT [physical training]Just like every member of our joint force, ”he said. – Honestly, it is tiring to look at combat units or in fact, and see the thick troops. Similarly, it is completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading teams throughout the country and the world. This is a bad look. This is bad, and this is not who we are. ” So, hegset points out: “Today, in my direction, each member of joint strength at each rank is required to pass the test on PT twice a year, as well as meet the requirements for growth and scales per year every year”.
Current number
What did these people think when their pathologically lively commander, the leader took place on the stage a few minutes later for a 72-minute chamb? Trump made the news with his speech, warning these leaders that their mission is changing, and that they will soon more and more concentrate on the “enemy inside”.
But he robbed his frightening call to illegally apply military force against the “enemy inside”, with “crazy” complaints about Joe Biden, whom he insisted on signing the official commission of each officer with autopen. Not Trump: he told them that he was happy to sign them personally. “I love my signature. I'm really doing. Everyone loves my signature, ”he said.
Especially Late Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump's eyes were chubby; One eye plunged. He sounded more crazy when he pounced. He seemed rumbling when these gathers also did not applaud him. But he was very clear in relation to the new mission of these leaders: the use of American cities “as training fields” for the American military. “Democrats control most cities that are in bad shape,” he told the officers. “What they did with the dignity of Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los -Angeles -they are very unsafe places. And we are going to straighten them one by one. And this will be the main part for some people in this room. This is also a war. This is a war from the inside. ”
The head of veterans for responsible leadership exploded The abomination of Quantico on social networks, especially the Hegset message that the goal of the collected was to “kill people and break things”:
This is a shameful message. There was a soldier with whom I served in the army, which was later killed in Mosul, Iraq, which stated that the reason he joined the military was that he believed that it was the greatest power forever, that the world knew when it knew. He said that the military not only taught their soldiers to be fatal, but also taught us to be compassionate and sympathetic and care not only about the American people, but also a free loving and looking for people from around the world. This is the real spirit of a warrior, which many of us, veterans, know and love. I think a lot about him tonight and will be cursed, if sons with bitches, such as Trump and Hegset, will turn our great military into something reminiscent of Russians. ” His memory and service should not be in vain.
Former defense representative said Politician The meeting was “a waste of time for many people who were better, what they could and should have done. It is also an unforgivable strategic risk to concentrate so many leaders in the operating chain of the command in the same public time and place to convey a meaningless message about small merits. ”
The officers obeyed orders, but they did not need to like, and they did not look. Silence was sometimes deafening.
All these officers woke up this morning in the expected news that the government closed when the leaders of Trump and Republicans of Congress refused to cancel the sharp contractions of healthcare in exchange for the votes of the Democrats. I am also strangely optimistic about this development. Trump promising mass dismissals, but there were already hundreds of thousands of dismissal. He has already canceled the expenses for programs approved by Congress, without looking into protest from the republican leaders. Now he says that he can use a shutdown as a pretext to reduce popular programs, such as social security and Medicare, and I can only say, according to the immortal words, Pete Hegset: “Fafo”. When the officers ignored his obvious attempt by the applause line, his expression said: “For somewhere five hours.”
The leader of the minority in the Senate Chuck Schumer folded for the last time he encountered this potential result in March, to the chagrin of most democrats senators. He was afraid that he said that Trump would make the power that the shutdown gave him to contact federal labor. Six months later, we saw Trump still assumed this power; This time Schumer acted correctly. I don't know where it is, but I agree With Marsy Wieler That, although some Americans will suffer, they will also see that the only sector of the government that continues to work, as before, is a growing and increasingly violent immigration mechanism. Most ice agents are considered “main workers.” You will not be able to get an employee on social security on the phone if you have problems, but you will see your neighbors with brown skin illegally captured bandits in the mask.
We are not heading for the authoritarian regime; We already live under one. And the earlier more people understand this, the earlier we can start to fight effectively.

In 2009, the Republicans falsely argued that the law on affordable medical care would benefit immigrants without documents. They still trade in the same nonsense.
On the verge of potentially destructive state closure, Trump spent his day with Pete Hegset-General General at the top, which was supposed to be e-mail.
The former deputy general of the prosecutor was hardly charged as the director of the FBI as the director of the FBI and discredited the federal justice system in the process.
