Bombs away!
Generals Are Whining That Hegseth Has ‘Lost’ Them, but the Facts Say They’ve Lost the Plot
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is the subject of another scurrilous article claiming, without proof or evidence, that he has lost the trust and confidence of the flag and general officer corps. A story in the Washington Times uses mostly anonymous sources to make the claim that Hegseth, “has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented and dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon, said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials.” The whole article tells a different story.The core of the critique seems to be that Hegseth is incapable of thinking above the level of an infantry major, and that keeps him from focusing on real stuff like, well, we don’t know.
Follows, one long, loud, whine from these precious Deep State poseurs. To be perfectly honest, there might possibly be something in this world I give less of a shit about than what the Perfumed Princes of the Puzzle Palace think about anything at all, but if there is I’m sure I don’t know what it might be. Streiff has a little something he’d like to say as regards Mordor On The Potomac’s fearsome Chairborne (Rump) Rangers senior leadership caste, every word of which cuts like a Sykes-Fairbairn fighting knife.
The criticism boils down to basically a lot of people don’t like Hegseth’s style. The only damage they can come up with is an exodus of other FOGOs and senior civilians who have been told to leave. In their mind, this defenestration of deadwood and resistance is a loss of talent. It isn’t because those slots will be filled by people who want to do the job right. I thought the resistance to the concept of a “color- and gender-blind meritocracy” was particularly instructive and shows just how deep Marxist rot has invaded the military.
I’d also offer that the criticisms of his focus on appearance and fitness belie the fact that far too many of our senior officers don’t really care about discipline, esprit, or technical competence. If the standard for lacing boots is left-over-right, I can walk into any unit and tell immediately how well the chain of command works. If standards for height, weight, and physical fitness and beards are not enforced, you can bet your bottom dollar that maintenance, logistics, personnel, and a whole bunch of other systems are broken. You can also bet that a military without attention to detail will not focus on winning wars, but on getting the most medals. In the words of a man who knew about war, General George S. Patton, Jr.: “There is only one sort of discipline—perfect discipline. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.” He also said, “You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.”
So self-evidently correct you can’t help but be embarrassed on behalf of GEN Curtis J Rumpswab, BRIG GEN Jennifer D Rottencrotch, and MAJ GEN Kwan’zaalishious’ “Lightnin” McCorkle VII for needing to have it read back to them one more time.
Let the Pentagon’s flabby, overpromoted, medal-chasing flag officer corps get back to us when they’ve actually won something more impressive than a free medium coffee from Dunkin Donuts in recognition of their many years of customer loyalty. As far as these abject failures feeling all butthurt over Sec Hegseth serving notice that their only easy day was yesterday, hopefully their “personal honor” has been traduced badly enough to leave them no choice but to resign their commissions and vacate their positions. Without these jackasses, who knows, we might actually be able to win a war for a change.

Since most of “the flag and general officer corps” are a joke, it might actually be true, which is a good thing. Hegseth is doing a fine job, and that is the opposite of what those traitors want and are paid by china to do.
There are nearly 1000 fag-grade (not a typo) senior officers in the services.
If Hesgeth can get the 98% of them that are a waste of skin and oxygen to resign, or if he simply outright fires their asses for cause, military readiness will increase by 3000% overnight.
Everybody at West Point above the rank of major, and all civilians, who knew about the open communist they graduated and said nothing, should have been fired last February, as an opening salvo.
Whatever waste of skin ROTC officer and NCOIC who had college cadidiots marching in red high heels should have been court-martialed on the spot. It’s not too late to do that now.
Everyone who didn’t resign their commission over putting women in the Rnagers by giving them booster steps to get over the wall on the obstacle course should be tried in the next batch. Anyone in favor of transfaggotry and gender reassignment surgery, civilian or military in the DoD, as compatible with military service should be retired on the spot, down to the grade of E-4.
Call me when Hesgeth starts literally nailing skinned former generals’ and admirals’ tanned hides to the side of the Pentagon as trophies.
The day he does that, his appointment as Secretary of War should be tenured as a lifetime appointment, not subject to firing, impeachment, or removal for anything less than a certified copy of his certificate of death.
Then require all women from E-1 to O-10 to meet the PFT/PRT standards of males in the same positions within 6 months, or be forcibly separated from the service.
Only after making all those moves can we talk seriously about SecWar going “too far”. So far, sadly, he’s still too much of a pussy to do half of that, but shitcanning a dozen or two generals is at least a promising step in the right direction. I would furthermore recommend that in future, those fired be escorted to the parking lot carrying their personal shit in a cardboard box, by MPs moving them along at bayonet-point, just to make a literal point to every swinging Richard in the military from the Chairman of the JCS on down to the lowest-ranking recruit, and put up posters of those ceremonies at every command in the entire military.
Recruitment, retention, and readiness would surpass all goals in about 4 seconds.
In order not to disrupt the system too badly, time is taken to be sure you are eliminating the bad ones, IMO. All in good time.
There is one Admiral for every two ships in the 21st Century US Navy. Decrease the number to one per 10 ships.
