I am 53 year old veteran that served in the Marines . I have been a truck driver for the last 29 years. I believe the country I know and love is slipping away.
@paratroopbrady I laugh that you think the current republicans are any different than the democrats. It’s a UNIPARTY folks, they are just biding time until Trump is out of office, and then it’s back to business as usual. Wake the F up
Amazing how fast the Pentagon’s self-anointed Hall of Sacred Stars turns into a bunch of hysterical old bitches the second Pete Hegseth starts touching their furniture.
For years these pricks ran the place like their own private country club with security clearances and taxpayer-funded bar tabs.
Lose wars? Get promoted.
Botch the Kabul disaster so badly that Americans got left behind and working dogs got abandoned? Circle the wagons and protect your own.
Turn the force into a DEI clown show that prioritized race, gender, and feelings over combat power? Call it “progress” and hand each other medals.
Let retired generals and admirals linger over the active ranks like vultures waiting for their next board seat or cable news hit? That was just “mentorship.”
They built a perfect machine: command a division, lose some wars, retire, then cash in on defense contractor boards, think tank sinecures, and “distinguished” speaking fees while still whispering in the ears of the officers they left behind. And if anyone asked too many questions, the whole rotten club would close ranks and call it an attack on “the institution.”
Now Hegseth walks in and starts yanking out the people who helped turn the United States military into a taxpayer-funded sociology experiment with guns, and suddenly these same arrogant bastards rediscover “norms,” “process,” and “institutional integrity.” Spare me the theater.
This was never about keeping politics out of the military. It was always about protecting the people who already politicized it, institutionalized it, and then decorated themselves for doing it. Hegseth didn’t bring politics into the Pentagon. He found their political machine already installed, running at full power, and guarded by men with stars on their chests and future paychecks in their eyes.
And now that machine is getting smashed.
The howling you’re hearing isn’t concern for the troops. It’s the sound of a corrupt old boys club watching their racket get dismantled in real time.

@drinkonsaturday Kids nowadays are just handed keys to a high dollar car.
Growing up I had to work for my first car, it made me appreciate it a hell of a lot more than the little shits that mommy and daddy went out and bought their first cars for them.
@AlixG_2@Plan_Bteam Sweetheart, they’re talking about cattle herd vaccines, not humans. Anyone using a AI generated picture isn’t too fvcking bright to begin with.
