Hegseth, you royally fucked it up. Leaking classified military in a Signal group chat? Excusable. A White Supremacist? Excusable. Drunken paranoia? Excusable. HOW DARE YOU FUCK UP THE PARADE!? Pack your shit up and go back to Fox News.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He’s trying to be a dictator damn it! Why won’t anyone take him seriously? Waaaaah
Because he's a lollipop head, bitch and nobody is scared of him
So their only job is to walk in a straight line, and they pick Alchohegseth to train them? Never could have seen this coming.
Goose stepping is actually incredibly difficult and has no military value
Hmmm, maybe negative military value. After all not too many forces are winners with kicks above a set level.
This is what you get when your hiring criteria is who is the best ass kisser.
HAHAHAHAHA what a fucking toddler. Did they not have enough plain cheese pizza with ketchup for your bday party, you pathetic attention-hungry piece of shit
He didn't want PIZZA! He wanted FRENCH FRIES from MCDONALDS!!! He wanted RONALD to personally cut his burger up for him because it's EMBARRASSING when his MOM does it! He wanted to use the SLIDE but he POOPED on it before he made it to the bottom and that's SOMEONE ELSE'S fault!!!
God early Cartman...
I think he somehow associates their behavior with a lack of discipline. He expected coordinated … 🪿 stepping and unwavering devotion to their CiC who has zero respect for them or something? I can’t wrap my head around whatever circles of logic he tries to use
I'm going to say I 100% agree with you. The lunatic wants North Korean style marches and is angry that's not happening.
But I also want to say, what clips I've seen holy crap their marching was abysmal, like I've seen Civil Air Patrol flights with better marching. I'm not military so I can only talk so much, when listening to vets, their comments are along the lines of the people in the parade basically doing a shitty job because "Mandatory Fun Day" as apparently it's called.
Frankly I think that's funny myself.
Their marching was poor because there is almost no practical reason why anyone in today's Army should ever need to march. The vast majority of service people do very little marching after basic training.
I wonder what Kim Jong Un’s reaction was when he saw the photos of Trumps dinky little parade
Haha Dinky.
I'll tell ya one other thing that's floppy Don
"we aren't kings"
Cries when parade isn't dictator-y enough.
His floppy parade was a disappointment? How scandelous.
Not enough people in the groupchat haha
