How the ***** can an ex Navy pilot be going, 'Oh yeah, man, it's totally cool the guy was texting his mistress battle plans to show off'

 

 

I am unfamiliar with this claim.

Who did this?

You did it by deflecting to Iran and all the upcoming 'world traumas' as a distraction from the topic of whether Pete Hegseth should be fired- which I think would be a light sentence for that piece of garbage.  You did it.

Absolute nonsense, and complete bullstuff.

You invented this claim, and then further assigned it to someone.

This happens way too frequently here, and it's deliberate deception.

 

I commented on military recruitment, and the good news what it was up.

I then argued why that was important given the mission and the status of our current capability.

 

The claim you made is your pure fantasy, preposterous, impossible and a lie.

It isn't about enough; it's about having the most advanced and most current systems.

Honestly I don't even think it's getting to be about that anymore.  At some point in the not too distant future, powerful weapons will be deliverable by creaky old wooden fishing vessels to large cities, and the entire operation will be undetectable.  
 

*****'s changing, and there's no Admiral with a big ship who's going to stop it.  
 

We need world policies which deter people and nations from random mutual destruction activities.  
 

This is likely going to be an ugly period in human history, and we have undeniably the biggest idiots in American history at the helm.

You should probably get some sleep. Holy *****.

You jumped into a topic and chose to address an aside conversation, rather than the actual topic which involves the (pathetic excuse for a) Secretary of Defense. 
 

You, of all people here, an ex Navy pilot, deciding to take the side plot and totally dismissing the main point just says... I don't even know what the ***** it says.  This situation implicitly involves Navy pilots, and you just *****... nothing.  Just dud... 

 

Let's talk about troop buildup, fellas...

 

Meanwhile the show is backed by morons. 
 

Exclaim your love for these idiots, or whatever your point of view is, but flexing that military muscle over random aside *****??
 

If you want to check out 'skirting honesty', check around the home-fires.

I have not interest is addressing someone's invented fantasies, and I have never claimed anything remotely close to your invented quote:

     "Oh yeah, man, it's totally cool the guy was texting his mistress battle plans to show off."

 

You made it up and assigned it. Total nonsense.

I'm not sure what this additional bullstuff means, and by the way I have never expressed any "lover for these idiots," to quote your additional lie.

I didn't assign it to 'someone', I assigned it to you. 
 

I was expecting more from you regarding this situation- and it is very much a situation. 
 

I apologize if I implied you bore a greater responsibility than any other poster here regarding Pete Hegseth and the position he potentially put the Navy pilots in - you have no more responsibility to comment on that than any other poster.  - You comment on military matters pretty often, so I thought you might have something to say about his actions, but you don't, so fair enough. 
 

(fantasy is not really my genre, btw)

You should apologize because you lied. I have never said anything close to the quote you invented.

 

Further, nobody here has any "responsibility" to anyone else, except maybe to be honest and not lie about them or assign views.

The Hegseth thing was really stupid. I'm not certain the truth about the second occurrence is really known yet.

 

Still, the impact was zero, because the Houthis couldn't do anything about it. But it can't happen.

 

The impact of actual insanity in handling our military is absolutely impactful though.

To wit, the foolishness that Washington imposed on Red Sea carriers that were firing million dollar plus missiles against few hundred dollar drones.

Seeking authorization to strike in Yemen, they were denied, except to attack sites that had just launched drones.

The Houthi actions resulted in length deployment extensions for the Ford and Eisenhower task forces.

These extensions really impact maintenance schedules and subsequent deployments.

 

More importantly the dramatically impact retention rates, which are more important than recruitment goals.

The US servicemen throughout the ranks operate very sophisticated systems that take years to master.

Senior enlisted and junior officer retention is critical, and it is really harmed by continued extensions to scheduled deployments.

 

You recruit the serviceperson, but you "retain" the family, and understanding that is crucial.

 

In the last few months, the Pentagon has OK'ed offensive operations against Yemeni positions that support or supply the Houthis, and that is a logical, sense making approach compared to what we were doing under the previous admin.

 

I don't care if the fire Hegseth or not. I care immensely that our military is deployed with purpose and intelligent response.

Maybe consider conversation before accusation, lest you be forced to repeat the rage-ramble-apology cycle in the future.

I wonder what the next Faux - Scandal will be ?

Rest assured, when it breaks,  Leon Letttuce will wake up from a deep slumber 3 or 4 days later, yelling about "creaky old wooden fishing vessels" and Tom Cruise in Top Gun.

When I heard the news the Pope had passed, my first thought was the next far-left conspiracy story will be JD Vance killed the Pope during their meeting using a biological weapon he received from Vlad Putin during a secret meeting  at the airport in Rome. All uncovered by the crack reporting staff at the NY Times and Politico.

You're casting your stone with the imbeciles.  
 

And unless the Doc in your name refers to a cartoon dwarf, you likely know this as well.  

 

Yes.  What's most important is not sharing your soon-to-fail plans with others...

 

If he texted classified info to people he shouldn't have, it's wrong and shouldn't happen again.  Jumping to "HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!" is silly considering you didn't GAF about the previous SecDef going AWOL 3 times, which is a far bigger issue.

It's come to a point where Hegseth's defense is incomprehensible.

He got the info on a secured classified/closed network.

He then summarized it and passed it along through his iphone.

Everyone - EVERYONE - who gets a security clearance is taught that you can't do this.

Maybe he's pre-elderly and kindly with only the best intentions and sees himself in a different light?  That matters, don't it Frank?
