Archive article: https://archive.is/EfZkV “We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans,” he said. “No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression,” he added. “We’re going to cut our hair, shave our beards, and adhere to standards.”
No beards on generals? Must be the cope from having this handsome gentleman beat their asses all the way to Dixie and back!
Tsar Peter the Great banned beards in the Russian military and civil service.
This is where this wanker got it from.
I’m convinced that the real purpose of this meeting was to gauge the willingness of top military officers to support a coup. I would be surprised if their private conversations in response to this spectacle were not spied on.
Fortunately, at least in public appearance, they don’t seem thrilled with this administration.
I think you’re crediting them with more foresight, shrewdness and competency than has ever been demonstrated by this admin.
Trump and Hegseth are not the sharpest tools in the shed, for sure, but they’re also not the ones really making decisions. Stephen Miller is possibly in charge? JD Vance’s vassalage to dystopian surveillance tech titan Peter Thiel is another influence channel.
That’s a fair point about where the buck ultimately stops, but I’m not sure the “AI regulations bring about the anti-christ” guy is the Lex Luthor he wants us to believe he is either.
**They declared war on America.
Encouraged war crimes (against American citizens)**
Enacted a bunch of racist and sexist shit (beard thing)
Announced they were planning on starting wars as soon as they feel like it
Rejected and alienated large portions of the American population from serving on the brink of WW3
Dementia Don rambled incoherently for a long time
Threatened the generals if they didn’t show fealty to the pedo king
Said the generals aren’t sexy enough for Pete
What he did is he proved to everyone he didn’t know a thing about the military.
He literally gave an example of a good reason to have a beard (special forces). This shit is racism. Full stop. Everyone I knew in the military who had a shaving chit was a dark green Marine.
It’s so thinly veiled that it’s raising my blood pressure. Those guys (with the shaving chits) were damn fine Marines. Fuck this administration!
Is he ranting because he doesn’t have enough testosterone to grow one? 🤷♂️
That’s exactly what I was thinking. He’s probably extremely insecure that he can’t grow a beard.
Another common misconception is that those with thicker beards have more testosterone than people with thinner beards. Even though testosterone does play a role in the growth of facial hair, low testosterone is rarely the cause of sparse facial hair growth.2
Thia myth has been wandering around for too long. The two people I know with extreme testasterone levels have no beard growth
This is the most fascist speech in a while, and there’s competition
hundreds of senior officers most of which are probably keenly aware that America will possibly be at war with China in the next 5 years, and with Russia uncomfortably sooner. And this cokehead carted them all to Virginia basically just to do hyper conservative virtue signaling like it was an election campaign.
holy shit i really think pete hegseth might be one of the least likable human men i have ever heard speak
Did you see all that winning in that room? So much winning. Shave. Don’t be fat. And then the orange man rambled about fucking nonsense for like an hour. I mean he said literally nothing coherent or relevant to the meeting. I was so fucking inspired and filled with warrior ethos I shit myself. It was awesome!
troops to Portland because TV.
This guy reminds me of every dick-less wonder that issues “return to office” orders just so they can walk around and micromanage people.
That was the most closeted TedTalk I’ve ever seen.
“We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans,”
Lol, there are a shit ton of those in the Navy so many Valknut and Vesgir tattoos
Nordic pagans? Does he think America is Rome in the 4th century?
Because the Romans, while they had their flaws, probably wouldn’t let their equivalent of a Fox News anchor run their military. They were smarter than that.
Well kinda, the 4th century is when they went head over heels for Christianity after which the Western Roman empire fell only a century later.
