Let’s be entirely clear here: there is nothing Secretary Shitfaced AKA Pete Hegseth said or did today that will change anyone’s perception that he is a fucking joke, as a Defense secretary and as a man.

However, if you wanted to get all the country’s generals and admirals in the same room — an absolute amateur hour failure of Op-Sec obviously — to declare that the United States is finished, the alcoholic divorced dads and (credibly accused, settlement paid!) alleged rapists are in charge, that the military is being run by losers too busy preening over their masculine insecurities to actually, you know, defend the country, well, we’re not sure how you could have MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! that more effectively than what we witnessed this morning.

Perhaps no moment in the speech encapsulates this more completely than when Hegseth looked at the crowd of stone-faced people who outrank him, and declared to our adversaries that “They will be crushed by the violence, precision, and ferocity of the War Department. To our enemies, F-A-F-O.”
.........

And y’all, he really thinks he’s being manly when he says “WAR DEPARTMENT!” It’s like he gets Phantom Dick Syndrome when he says “WAR DEPARTMENT!”

So that kind of sets the scene for this entire pathetic affair, where Pete Hegseth literally pulled all the generals and admirals together from across the globe so he could force them to endure in person what a little bitch he is.
