So who said this hyperbole?

No one thinks highly of Hegs or Trump?

Can you fact check this?

If he is complaining that his job is getting difficult because Hegseth is cutting out the bs.....we have a saying in the military, shut up and color and thats exactly what Driscoll should have done. You dont quit because your job become more difficult at the moment. You get it done to the best of your ability and push on. We are not here to coddle bitches.

actually he did exactly what he should have done. resigning when you disagree with your leadership is perfectly respectable and professional. you might not like him or his reasons for resignation, but resignation is the appropriate thing to do.

Sorry I have to correct myself. No one in charge of our military thinks highly of this administration, which are really the only people that matter. I’m sorry this hurts your feelings but it’s true.


He’s younger than them and was only a Captain in the army so they resent him. He also told the senior officers to stop being fat fricks.

Chain of command, they don’t have to like Hegseth but he’s the boss. It’s sad generals are throwing tantrums while they wouldn’t tolerate that from their subordinates

Hegseth probably told him to stop recruiting so many split tails.

Its not getting rid of people "not loyal". The friggin DOJ was filled with radical liberals actively fighting against the enforcement of law.

These same generals he fired stood by and or advocated turning our military into a bunch of friggin trans, fat pig, losers. NOW, NOW he wants to speak out for them, while he himself sat quietly while the fighting force was reduced to a friggin sideshow at carnival.

This means absolutely nothing as the commander of recruiting has zero to do with it.

Well oddly enough all branches met or exceeded yearly recruiting goals months ago.

I understand, but I do think there is discussion to be had about whether resigning is the right thing to do.

Reckon he and the Secretary of the Navy who resigned for similar reasons a while back will get a few rounds of golf in?

And the Army signed more than every other branch and passed their goal earlier than every other branch.

Seems like Driscoll is better at his job than everyone else.

upset with Hegseth over Hegseth firing generals that he went directly to Trump

So. It’s personnel not performance.

Grown men have pissing contest and testosterone. It’s what we do with no fricks given.

Too many feels and nothing gets done.

Oh, and why, do they put soy derivatives in all process foods?

So your emphatic statement was merely your opinion and not based on any thing tangible?

Are you confident enough to back this up with something other than an anonymous opinion presented as fact?
