It's wild that they rename the DoD as th Department of War, call service members "warfighters" and Hegseth beats his chest about all the war crimes he wants to commit. But when they actually start a war, they're all shitting their pants at the idea of calling it a war
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
I truly think that part of why the press was so angry at Biden over Afghanistan is that they no longer got to look cool by riding a helicopter in a war zone.
Everything is gender except gender which is class
When Hegseth got in I said there are three types who join the Guard: the former active duty who want or need to keep a hand in; the warehouseman and so forth who wants the extra money and education; and people who want to play soldier. The latter group is small, but you should be afraid of them.
This was a disasterous line if the goal is regime change
If the Iranian government is watching they are gonna clip this with Farsi subtitles and show it ad nauseum with the message "the Americans do not care about you"
This is psychotic.
Stop saying Iran will be like Vietnam or Iraq. Those were done by dumb people. Now we got a guy who uhh thinks you need ID to buy groceries
