Anyone seen the video of this douche bag trying to do a workout with the army. By workout, I mean essentially calisthenics. The guy looks like an absolute moron with the side steps.

What really gets me about those clips is he posted them! This wasn't some leaked video. He saw that and thought it looked badass.

I regularly ask myself how much they believe their own bullshit. For a long time I thought they didn't but Hegseth might actually be that clueless.

What a fucking weirdo.

Outrage about woke is 2023

Even MAGA has woken up to it being the great con played upon them

This bloke is like a tiktok streamer playing the role of defence secretary from a 1980s action movie

Like a satire anchor from Robocop or Total Recall.

First they came for the fatties

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a fatty

First they came for the fatties.

And they caught me because I was a fatty.

Well I might be a fattie freaky weirdo beardo, but I saw you lift weights and, well, that's it.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I might be an alcoholic, but I saw you in a tub of liquor and, well, that's it

Video here: https://youtu.be/3JY3j11tl4s?t=33

I timestamped it at the end where he does a surprisingly good Trump impression

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

For fucks sakes

[–] el_eh_chase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Wow he delivered the first part like shit. His Trump was half decent as promised though.

All I'm hearing is Pete can't grow a beard and resents beards in others.

[–] binary45@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Hey, Pete, you know what happens when you decide to kick all those people out? You lose all the people running the cybersecurity division. Funny how that stuff works.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Also, basically every other role that's not basic infantry... including spec-ops who are allowed to have beards to operate clandestinely.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Oh I bet he has a response to that: "AI!" - poof problem solved. 'Murica's safe.

Ugh I wish I was joking.

[–] binary45@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, and from what we’ve been seeing… AI… err… “SI”… has been doing more offensive action than defensive action…

The best their so-called SI could do for their defensive strategy would be to encrypt everything… and then being unable to get the data back…

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 26 points 11 hours ago

As the old saying goes. A plane crash returning from a furry convention would put the software and cybersecurity industries back decades.
