Pete Hegseth is a manifestation of a stereotypical antagonist that Wonder Woman would have to defeat. He’s racist, extremely sexist and misogynistic, and also insecure about how pathetic he is.
>By erasing Defense Department histories of nonwhite service members, and seeking to restore tributes to Confederate soldiers who took up arms against their country in defense of slavery, Hegseth has demonstrated a limited view of whose service is to be honored.
>Trump is likely also seeking to ensure that remaining officers lack any qualms about following potentially illegal orders. Both he and Hegseth have long seen war crimes as worthy of admiration rather than scorn.

As a brown person, I am proud I helped convinced my nephew from joining the Navy, told him to not make the same mistake I did serving in the white mans military.

Trying to fight a 21st-century war with a 19-century social playbook. What could go wrong?

Well, have fun finding enough white men to do what you want, buddy. If you only wants those type of people, then you gotta be prepared when your numbers are much smaller.

Pete Hegseth follows a church that basically makes a religion out of white supremacy.
He fired the Joint Chiefs because he was black. Same position Colin Powell had.

Who know The South Park movie was a prediction… can our writers and creatives stop giving these people ideas? How about writing about puppies and kittens and universal health care?

They’re trying to take all of America back to the 50’s. Not just the military.

Honestly, if you are a minority or a woman, you will never be promoted. If you do, they will strip you off your rank and discharge. We have already seen it.

Already segregated the trans people out and is now aiming to go after medical records of African Americans to force them out too.

I understand some folks favor a no-break hem for their slacks; however, I can’t take anyone seriously who sports showing their full ankle while wearing a fucking jacket with sewn in bicep pads.
EDIT – I’d bet a silver dollar that Hegseth got lit up all the fucking time for having his hands in pockets while in Uniform.

The white supremacist evangelical is doing white supremacist evangelical things?? Say it isn’t so!/s – If dude wasn’t such an incompetent moron I’d actually be worried. That’s the beauty about being a white supremacist sexist piece of shit, it usually comes with being a fuckin moron.
