Good. More discord in the camp of the infidels, the kafir.

    Better question is why they ever had any faith in an unqualified alcoholic TV propagandist to head up the world’s largest military.

    Why are Republicans criticising Hegseth?

    Because they need a fall-guy for Iran. It’s ironic because the things directly under Hegseth’s control appear to have largely functioned as intended. That is the strikes on Iran have been carried out with minimal US losses. Don’t @ me about war crimes like the Minab school, Republicans DGAF.

    The problem with the Iran war is the decision to start it and the terms upon which it will end. We should launch an investigation into who’s responsible for that.

      This is the real answer. Republicans don’t give a shit that he’s a drunken asshole, or that he’s a moron doing stupid stuff like removing vaccine requirements among the soldiers, or that he’s destroying military leadership. They care that they might lose elections and need to blame a non-elected person.

    Because he’s an utterly unqualified talk show host.

    But these dumbfucks keep voting for TV personalities, so I’m not sure what they’re expecting.

    If his strategy of “use all the bombs we have” was working they’d still have faith in him. As it stands now it might cost them the next election and all their donor money.

    Oh, FFS, there is no reason that Al Jazeera has to capitulate on language like all the institutions based in America have, is there?

    He’s in the DoD. These stupid fratbro wants to be all muscular and tough and talk about “lethality” and war, but there is no reason anyone has to oblige his stupid 12-year-old brain.

    Is the answer, “because he started an illegal war without the consent of Congress and immediately lost it?” Because the answer should absolutely be, “he started an illegal war without the consent of Congress and immediately lost it.”
