       #Trump & #Hegseth #military address🤬🧵#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth addressed the gathering of military leaders earlier.He assailed what he called "decades of #decay" caused by policies promoting #diversity & #inclusion in the #USmilitary."Foolish & reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading & we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia."But not anymore," he said.

       Addressing the room full of the #US’ top #generals & #admirals, summoned from around the world w/o explanation last week, #Hegseth defended his #firings of #FlagOfficers, which include the top US general, a #Black man, & the #Navy's top admiral, a #woman.He said the officers he relieved were part of a “broken culture”.#Trump & #PeteHegseth #military address🤬🧵

       #Hegseth promised sweeping changes to how #discrimination complaints are handled & how accusations of #wrongdoing [#WarCrimes, #rape, etc] are investigated at the #Pentagon, saying the current system has top brass walking on "egg shells.""If the words I'm speaking today are making your hearts sink, then you should do the honorable thing & resign," Hegseth said."I know the overwhelming majority of you feel the opposite. These words make your hearts full."#Trump #Hegseth #military🤬🧵

       #PeteHegseth slammed "#FatGenerals". He criticized the look of overweight troops, saying: "It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals & admirals in the halls of the #Pentagon."He said ALL fitness tests would be set to #male benchmarks only [meaning women will be required to pass those tests] & emphasized the importance of grooming standards."The era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos," Hegseth told the audience, which sat in silence.#Trump #Hegseth #military 🤬🧵

       #Trump, as he departed for the event, told reporters that he would fire #military leaders on the spot if he did not like them.Trump then opened with a joke as he took the stage, saying: "If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room, of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future."He then spoke of the #US the military prowess, in often wandering remarks praising US #nuclear #submarines, his creation of the #SpaceForce & military recruiting.#Hegseth 🤬🧵

       He [nobody else] counts solving conflicts between Armenia & Azerbaijan, Cambodia & Thailand, India & Pakistan, & Serbia & Kosovo among his successes.Many foreign leaders, including India's, dispute Trump’s claims, that US pressure led to the peace. Others, including Cambodia's, have said Trump's pressure was *helpful*.And many conflicts remain unresolved, including between Russia & Ukraine, Israel & Hamas. #Trump #Hegseth #military 🤬🧵

We were built on merit," #Trump who was born a #white #male #millionaire told the #military leaders."We're bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character [🤣] & strength & that's because the purpose of American military is not to protect anyone's feelings.

       There doesn’t seem to be a clear point or purpose in Trump’s speech to the #military generals. He has talked about #tariffs, #Biden & the autopen #ConspiracyTheory, the southern #border, CNN, his personal feelings about #Putin & his thirst for a #NobelPeacePrize.Trump said he told #Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas within the US. Then he talked about deploying the #NationalGuard to #Chicago & #Portland.🧵

       Already, the remarks by #Trump & #Hegseth are drawing criticism from former #military officials. “I couldn’t be prouder of our highest ranking leaders for maintaining an #apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton.He added, “#PeteHegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals & admirals to rant about facial hair & brag about how many pull-ups he can do, & have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.”[that sums it up well]🧵

The word nuclear was not one to “throw around,” he said.“We can’t let people throw around that word, I call it the n-word.

       @Nonilex  The part that chilled me was when Hegseth said we would no longer observe rules of engagement. Then something about being in the business of “killing people and breaking things”. So, all the JAG guys are gone, does that mean America is now in the business of committing war crimes with impunity?

       @Nonilex As pointless as this meetup seems, it wasn't. The main point behind this whole thing was intimidation. No one had to decide anything or take a side, but two highest ranks had been fired and thd message is anybody can be fired. It's a preparation. Loyalty over intimidation.

       @Nonilex do they WANT a military coup? Because this is how you get a military coup.

       @Nonilex note that Trump doesn't disagree with invading neighboring countries, he disagrees with it taking a long time.I disagree with removing Trump from office taking a long time. If not this president, the first and second worst  in this nation's history, then who? And now the most awful people who might ever seek the Presidency know, forever after, that our constitutional protections are a paper tiger.And the SCOTUS justices who took bribes let it happen. "One of Us!"

       @Nonilex The Buffoonery of this asswipe, who regard himself as sophisticated, clever is simply appalling. “We can’t use the N words (but we so want to.) 👌🏻
