I don't think there's really anything to worry about here. Trump is too much of a goddamn chicken shit to actually use the Army to do anything. They could have been sitting around crocheting for the past several months and it would have made no difference in regards to Trump's war in Iran.

Hegseth shows the fear and hatred of transgender people that stems from deep insecurity over his own masculinity. The performative exercise, exaggerated manly dress and tatoos, the war on DEI and trans, the testoterone shots for soldiers: all scream "I need to shout I am a man to cover my doubts".

A democracy doesn't need 'warriors'. Warriors see themselves as an entitled elite, above the cattle they call 'civilians'. A migration-era warband has warriors. A democracy has soldiers, who are citizens first and foremost, and only go to war at their nation's beck and call.

He’s losing a war against Iran. He’s run out of missiles. He can’t feed his own sailors But sure, let’s talk about DEI and a tiny majority of people who constantly get punched down on.
