Whether one is president of the U.S. or a manager at a fast food restaurant. If your primary criteria for choosing a person for a position of responsibility is that they just do what you tell them, then the choice was a poor one. With Trump the person on top was already at a low bar.

Well said! It was clear, the message coming out of Quantico was a call to war, first against Americans, secondly against any nation not supporting the N W 0! https://larrykaifesh.substack.com/p/a-call-to-war-was-made-in-quantico

Wow. Who knew letting a drunk run an important government agency was a bad idea? 🤔

We wish he was only a drunk ... he's capitulated to an evil agenda and has shown no principal!

I'm sure Hegseth meant for this Quantico all-hands to be a show of overwhelming force but instead it featured Hegseth doing his version of the opening scene from "Patton" and an addled-sounding Trump mumbling his usual applause lines to no applause. Banana republic stuff.

Well said ... all true, but with more sinister intent behind it. It was clear, the message coming out of Quantico was a call to war, first against Americans, secondly against any nation not supporting the N W 0! https://larrykaifesh.substack.com/p/a-call-to-war-was-made-in-quantico

As someone who's been sober in AA for 30 years, that certainly sounds like a dry drunk. Very dry. Western forest in August dry. All it takes is a little spark to burn it all down.

At first I thought the description indicated he might be doing some blow, but if that was going on he would have been caught by now. Too many physical symptoms to hide it for long.

Perhaps someone could persuade the allegedly pious Mr Hesgeth that what the world reallly needs is for him to resign and enter a life of mighty prayar and meditation?

In view of Trump's address to the assembled generals, worry about Hegseth's mental state is otiose

Of course, he is out of his depth! His depth is barely a raindrop!

The Houthi strike signal leaks already told us this. This is a man with no strategic thoughts deeper than bombing bad guys=badass

I had the first good laugh for quite awhile on Substack, noting the expressions on the faces of the gathered generals and admirals during Hegseth’s rant at Quantico. HIS PERFORMANCE WAS IMPOSSIBLY TONE DEAF AND TERMINALLY STUPID.

Thanks Trump voters for putting a drunken stumble bum in charge of our national security

One should be relieved that COS Wiles, Sec'y of State Rubio and V.P. Vance are coordinating on defense strategy while leaving photo opportunities and pushup exhibitions to the "Hegsethinator". Having read Elbridge Colby's Book Strategy of Denial, I find it highly unlikely that the NDS would advocate a US strategic retreat to the western hemisphere while conceding the Asian maritime states to China, as recently reported.

“…we could do things ‘medically’…”. What kind of “medical things” is he talking about? Plutonium poisoning of Dem leadership?

If there's a ray of light in this story, I suppose it's that the CJCOS seems more alert to the brewing catastrophe than I expected, given that I've read that Caine is an intense Trump loyalist.

Sadly, no one in that room has done a thing about the standards being lowered on their watch, the unconstitutional j ab, undeniable traitors, gen o cidal mani acs, and ped o philes!

The Secretary of Defense is a curiously toothless position. He's probably in a place where he can do the least harm
