re: PSA to the anti-Hegseth Karens

Since then:

- The DoD has set record recruiting numbers
- All that queer arse DEI shite is gone for good
- the Houthis quit and are sitting everything out
- and Hegseth allowed real warfighters to wax the Iranian nuclear program

Let's be honest about these things:
- Recruiting is better because the woke Biden admin is gone. A random person from the phone book, taking over for Biden, would have produced better recruiting numbers.
- I applaud Hegseth for getting rid of DEI crap as much as he has. I want to see him go even further, and he also needs to look into fraudulent discharges that have been taking place since at least Vietnam. The awards system is garbage as well. But, he is going after DEI stuff and that's good.
- We stopped bombing the Houthis because it wasn't working, primarily, and I suspect, since we know the operation in Iran was planned for a while, that munitions were held back and the bombing of the Houthis stopped, because of the conflict with Iran. We don't have the industrial capacity to sustain these efforts which should be a huge alarm for all of us.
- There is no concrete evidence that the Iranian nuke program was seriously throttled. We probably won't know about that for a while. It might be true, but given how deep those facilities were, I'm skeptical. More importantly, we have given Iran a lot of motivation to go nuclear now, and they probably will. The causal arrow for that will originate in this latest skirmish.

The only thing you can point to is those Telegram messages which Waltz allowed the reporter in the thread and he is gone

This was more than enough to fire Hegseth. If Lieutenant Snuffy did what Hegseth did, he'd have a court-martial and be looking at time in Leavenworth. Same for Waltz. Waltz is still in the admin, by the way. He's likely funneling stuff to Israel, along with the CIA Director. Everyone in this administration was either picked by Israel / AIPAC or cleared by them. That includes Rubio. The Adelsons have been funding and grooming him forever.

So far, Hegseth looks like an immature frat boy, given an enormous amount of power. The low hanging fruit was going after DEI stuff. Lots of reports of real douchebags in the Pentagon and Hegseth should be knee deep in personnel every single day, getting rid of these people. Lot of people in the Pentagon, but the positions that matter, that need a thorough purge, are not that many.
Hegseth should have already culled at least 50% of the flag officers. We have enormous bloat in our military and every military in history that has done that, has gone on to suffer catastrophic defeat. Since 2000, we have created a ton of new commands and new slots for flag officers. It's a racket. Time for a purge.
Commissioning Big Tech people is a disgraceful move.
There's no evidence that Hegseth is changing research / development / acquisitions in order to get us out of the paradigm where we launch million dollar missiles against ten thousand dollar drones. He's asking for a trillion dollar budget though, to burn more of our money in the MIC-Congressional pipeline. In the future, given the proliferation of drones and our servitude to technology, we are likely going to be shooting $5M missiles at $1k drones. In the next war, that will lead to us losing because we won't have the materiel or the money to sustain a fight.

The entire military personnel system needs a total overhaul. I'm sure he's oblivious to how it works or what 'up or out' means, or has any appreciation for how lacking our entry level training is for both officer and enlisted, especially the officer side. He probably partied his way through training and never gave it any thought.

We need a doctrinal review and a reshaping of the force. Air Land Battle, Full Spectrum Operations, whatever the current flavor is, etc, and all the hybrids that each commander comes up with, are not going to work on the modern battlefield. Our flag officers don't even know our doctrine or how we're supposed to fight, but our enemies do. The nature of warfare is unchanged but the character of warfare is dramatically different. We are basically stuck in Air Land Battle while slapping new gadgets and toys on everything. I doubt Hegseth is tracking any of this. They say tactics are for amateurs, logistics for professionals. Hegseth is an amateur. He loves the tactics of fancy stuff like B-2s but seems to be blissfully unaware that we can't sustain a fight.

We have a national security enterprise filled with "thinkers" that pontificate about various theories and we send people to the schoolhouse to talk about this stuff, learn all the new catch phrases, but there is no application to how we operate and even worse, there is no coherent strategy at the national level or within DoD, outside of what they put on PowerPoint slides. It's just fluff. For guys like Hegseth, the fancy planes and technology are the strategy. It's mindless. When we find ourselves in a real clash with a capable adversary, we are in for a world of hurt but Hegseth thinks we can dispatch some B-2s and the rest of the world will quake in their boots. That is not how the next conflict will go down.

Overall, I think Hegseth is a fool. Talks big but there's no substance there and I see no evidence he sees the big picture. I think he means well but we need someone that is more serious and a lot smarter and more careful. He belongs on a battalion staff, not running the DoD.
