Operation AIPAC Fury is costing the hardworking American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars and the US government will have even less money for Medicaid and Medicare in the future.

The next generation of Americans will pay for the Big Beautiful Bill and this stupid and illegal war on behalf of Israel

This alcoholic sexual predator and second-rate weekend TV tumor on Faux News was never promoted beyond Major in the US Army, but has been firing accomplished and experienced flag officers in the Department of Defense as if he was operating a McDonald's fast-food franchise.

AI snapshot: "During the Vietnam War, the US military experienced notably low morale, compounded by racial tensions, drug abuse, and widespread dissent within the ranks and society at large."

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth and the nefarious Trumpf junta have come full circle with the Vietnam War Era.

The man is ignorant and bullying and self-entitled.

No one thinks that he ever ceased drinking.

Pete Hegseth is a sociopath's idea of what a hero to sane people is.

And he's Vladimir Putin's perfect saboteur-- destroying America from within all while making money-- alongside Dummkopf Trumpf.

I want to draw everyone's attention to Trump invoking ALLAH to assure Iran's destruction.

It has been no exaggeration that people are concerned that this crazy man will use nukes to get his way.

If Trump is willing to butcher the Iranian civil population to get his way, and he has shown that he is.

Then his self-gratification sees no distinction in regards to Americans.

NO. too many political/left leaning seniont officers [deep staters] and just as obama eliminated many senior officers:

AI Overview
Reports suggest that during his administration, President Obama replaced or dismissed a number of high-level military officers, including generals and admirals, with some critics describing the moves as a "purge" intended to align the Pentagon with his policy vision. Notable removals included Gen. David McKiernan in 2009 and Gen. Stanley McChrystal in 2010.
Politico
Politico
+2
Key Removals: In 2009, Obama replaced Gen. David McKiernan, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, with Gen. Stanley McChrystal in a move aimed at getting "fresh eyes" on the conflict.
"Purge" Claims: Reports, including from conservative outlets, claimed that 197 officers were removed or disciplined over five years for reasons ranging from misconduct to "loss of confidence".
Reasons for Action: The administration often cited "loss of confidence in command ability" or misalignment with strategic goals in Afghanistan, while critics alleged the removals were political and aimed at reducing the influence of military commanders who disagreed with his policies.

Now the pendulum is swinging in the other direction.

Trump forced the retirment of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George because he opposed Trump's refusal to promote 2 black and 2 female officers to Generals. PS: we don't have Army forces ready to invade Iran either. This had nothing to do with his command abilities as the general Obama replaced (not fired or forced to resign) to lead our efforts in Afghanistan.

Continue deflecting ...

Msgt believes in the fascist politicization of the military

@#7 ... The Pentagon needs this shakeup. ...

Why?

(and I read your #@12, I disagree with that, but I won't deflect this thread with a reply.)

So, allow me to ask, why did the Pentagon need this shake-up?
