GENERAL MCCHRYSTAL: “I think people are bothered by the lack of seriousness (at the Pentagon under Hegseth) — it’s a team. No one in the military cares if you’re trans. They want to get the job done. And what best defends us is EVERYBODY.”

McChrystal just confirmed what actual service members have known for decades: it’s not about who you are — it’s whether you have someone’s back under fire.
Plenty of people in the military have a problem with trans people, Black people, Latinos, Asians, and women, ask anyone who isn't a "conservative" white man who served.
The problem is we now have an overt white supremacist, with a half-dead liver and Nazi tattoos making it official policy.
They do the work, which is more than Trump ever did. My husband is 100% disabled from his service in Vietnam. Trump called him a sucker and a loser. My husband took an oath to the U.S. Constitution. He lives up to it. Trump does not know what it means because he never read it.
No. He never has. And his description of the Declaration is just priceless.
"Well, it means exactly what it says, it's a declaration. A declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot. And it's something very special to our country."
He cut off aid to Ukraine wihout authorization, he is purging the military ranks in order to fill them with white supremicists, he laughed about changing Ft. Moore back to Ft. Benning, and he will sick the military on US citizens exercising their rights.
Unfucking fit.
The people who care are not secure in anything: their competency, their intellect, their sexuality, their aptitude. Their only way of being the best is by removing the competition, not competing.
I know that's 100% true, and it has nothing to do with LGBT.
When I joined, I was 37, I was a shit shot, not a hooah supersoldier type at all. But I made the effort, and my Drill Sergeants LOVED me for it. Same when I got to my unit.
They do not care about trans or gay or anything except effort.
I’m bothered by the lack of seriousness throughout the cabinet. It’s all TikTok videos, memes, and PR games to them. Their ‘professional goal’ is to rack up “Likes” and “views” and serve the ego of 🍊POTUS. There is no sense of the gravity of their responsibilities in the positions that they hold.
Since they do not actually understand the requirements of their job, and because they do not have the knowledge or the skill set to perform the functions of the job - performative actions are the best they can come up with. They are not capable of any substance.
I think we’re bothered by the fact that the fox TV host is a fucking idiot and there’s no way qualified to be in this position and has showed it on a daily basis
Was the General asked if he thought how coincidental it is that 4 very expensive military jets just dropped off of an aircraft carrier just prior to Qatar giving trump a big ass plane and a lucrative business deal? 🤔
I am more bothered by his lack of integrity and candor regarding the Pat Tillman incident. Am I the only on that remembers that he was fired by a president? Why would anyone care what he thinks about anything?
Trump was too big of a pussy to serve his country and he doesn’t want to be humiliated by those who identify as transgender or affiliated with the LGBTQ because they have the courage he didn’t and doesn’t have and are willing to die not for the flag but for what it represents.
I agree with General McCrystal. I’m straight, a USMC Veteran who served with different races, and sexual orientations. None of that mattered. And it shouldn’t. Hegseth seems perhaps even hateful of those active duty military whom are different from him, in a variety of ways. He needs to #Resign
hell, you wanna know how Dont Ask Dont Tell was repealed?
No bullshit? Gay Medics.
which makes total fucking sense: you're not going to give a goddamn who's hands are saving your life, only that they're saving your life and that bleeding the fuck out fucking sucks and you miss your kids.
source: I served with QUITE a few (I was a doc myself) and they suffered so many fucking indignities from non-military. told a world to kiss their ass and kept their chins up undaunted.
you're gonna sit there and tell me anyone who can perservere through their own country hating them is weak? Pffff
👍 I saw the interview and Gen. McCrystal came across as very down to earth and level headed - so contrary to the unqualified Fox 'n Friends Secretary of Defense nincompoop.

We can't go back to that kind of world, it didn't /doesn't matter who you are as long you get the job done.
It only matters to weak immature "alphas'
"What best defends us is everybody."
