Meanwhile Pete Hegseth: 'We have too much diversity!!!!!' and bans beards

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago

I'm convinced what we saw was just a distraction for the public.

They definitely did the more nefarious shit off camera.

[–] JayK117@aussie.zone 4 points 1 hour ago

I bet they all walked away with something better! Their new Russian friends who will always be there! Listening in...

"in USA they can only choose between two haircuts"

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 4 hours ago

DPRK has 7.

The best part is that both him and trump prepared a "funny" speech with pauses for cheers and applauses but were too stupid to realize the difference between a military meeting (listening in silence at blank face) and a political rally (cheering at whatever you say, even if it doesn't make sense)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 6 hours ago

they wanted a north korean, russian style rally.

I am glad to see several skin tones. There are not enough women in this picture.

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 hours ago

I would like my Military-Industrial Complex that bombs schools and hospitals to come in pink, please.

[–] greywolf0x1@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

enough women

can't seem to find any though

Not that it matters, but the colours in there are just black and white, no asians or latinos

I think there are some female generals in the upper right corner, but the resolution is too low to be sure

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

There is one person with long blonde hair right off the center and one with longer black hair in the same position on the left side. Alltogether there could be eight female generals.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 6 hours ago

hesgeth, trump got rid of them.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

hesgeth is also overcompensating that during bidens presidency, when he was still enlisted? that he couldnt get close enough to BIDEN entourage to harm him. also trump had him to distract this from the files, anything to take up news space.

A quick reminder

he declared war on American citizens yesterday

He encouraged war crimes against American citizens

He told them to prepare for war

Trump told them they are loyal to him now or they’re fired

[–] DanWolfstone@leminal.space 8 points 4 hours ago

Thank you, everybody is focusing on Pete and his stupidity and not the important part, I feel??

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I am not advocating for it but in other nations, that would cause a military coup.

[–] chad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 36 minutes ago

I've been wondering why that didn't happen right then and there. A boy can only dream, I guess.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

.... quite a few friends were made right there. I personally would not gather them all in a room to tell them how fat they are. A veteran like that could do me in with a toothbrush.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

"You might think I'm fat, but I can still kick your ass" - the generals to Hegseth

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 33 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Remember that conspiracy theory about JFK being taken out because he crossed the military complex?

Well now we can see how this experiment goes, piss off every capable military leader, and see how long this attempted dictatorship lasts.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 4 points 6 hours ago

crossed the military industrial complex

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 18 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Stress-testing the government to find out who shot JFK.

Let's have every single general, admiral, and other very high ranking military personnel in the same room with the secretary of war and the president. Oh, and let's announce it publicly ahead of time. What could go wrong?

JFC Pete is so fucking stupid. A smart, motivated, and malicious individual could have wiped out all of our military leadership in an instant.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 32 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I felt the same way on 9/11... The reaction was to close every bridge and tunnel on and off Manhattan and my first thought was "Well, shit, captive audience, so if whoever did it has a dirty nuke, that's the time for the dirty nuke."

All to watch Fat Man and Little Boy.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 55 points 17 hours ago

This was a "look how powerful I am that I can demand you all show up to here me rant" meeting on Pete's part. So yes, a waste of time, and money.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 29 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Something like 150 people sitting in this picture and 6 black men and 3 women. But there's too much diversity in the military!!!!!!!!!
