    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the event told The Washington Post.

    Because lifelong officers know less about warrior ethos than drunk sexual assaulter.

    Hegseth has pep rally promoting toxic masculinity and abuse in the military.

    Typed into AI,”Does toxic masculinity lead to mass shootings and domestic abuse?”

    To none of our surprise, the answer, backed by tons of research, is that yes it does and is one of the single largest contributing factors.

    We are witnessing the propagation of generational trauma and gun violence right before our eyes.

    This TedTalk was so awkward.

    The silence from the generals was brutal.

    Hegseth was low level military. He got off on ordering meeting and strutting around in front of those to whom he had to say "sir, yes sir" and salute.

    Among his other rants, DUI hire announced ending rules against hazing and bullying and loosening disciplinary standards so service members don't get punished for "one mistake". One mistake is the term frequently used to excuse rape.

    Hey, he should know.

    So... basically this is meant to appeal to guys who listen to "manosphere" podcasts? Are there enough Andrew Tate followers to make an army? I hope we don't find out.

    They've decided to make insanity public policy.

    There may be enough of them, but the fitness level will most definitely not be the same.

    The DUI hire strutting his stuff in front of top commanders talking about manly warrior culture demanded a makeup studio be installed at the Pentagon so he will always be camera ready.
