Hegseth is a fucking clown. George Washington had to deal with smallpox back when the only innoculation technique had a 5-10% mortality rate and a one month post innoculation recovery.
The actual issue about the health of the troops is irrelevant; Hegseth’s decision-making isn’t about that. It’s about filtering out anybody who puts objective reality above loyalty to Trump and his fascist agenda. Hegseth is purging the military of political opposition so that when the time comes to throw out the Posse Comitatus Act and march troops to subjugate the American public, nobody will be left to stop it.
Exactly this.
The right wing of American politics has laid claim to the military for decades, and the membership of armed forces have gotten more and more Republican-aligned.
It’s a coup followed by a military crackdown waiting to happen.
My wife’s family are big football fans.
She loves talking about the missed opportunity a Republican POTUS in Trump’s shoes could have had, talking about your “defensive game starts with the mask” and “offensive game we go for the zone and get the jab”
That would require the administration to have humor, empathy, and the best interests of citizens at heart. They’d rather just fearmonger and grift.
Because of the pandemic, 2020 should have been the absolute easiest reelection in history and trump fucked it up.
Literally all Trump had to do was let everything Biden set up just keep coasting on autopilot and he’d have had a great economy to gloat over
