It's DoD and supporting industry jargon for any active service-member. They don't like the term "soldier" because it has Army- and class-specific connotations that ruffle feathers, so they invented a word years ago to try and appease everybody.
Thank you for explaining! I’d never heard it before and wondered if Hegseth came up with it himself. It sounds like something a kid who didn’t know the term soldier would say.
“Republican Marco Rubio, then a senator and now Trump's secretary of state, was a co-sponsor of the bill, as was Kristi Noem, the current secretary of homeland security. Mike Waltz, Trump's national security advisor, was a founding member of the WPS congressional caucus when he was a lawmaker.”
It was performative when they passed it, perfromative when he canceled it, and they know their voters are too stupid to remember anything before breakfast
The man clearly knows nothing about creating within the environment and so he showcases what he tears down. I suspect that if the administration ever puts up replacements for what they have removed it will be a terrible product, more expensive for less value.
So worried about D.E.I., makeup, and leaks, he’s ignoring what he was hired for.
Don’t you love how trump has a knack for hiring people who show how incompetent he really is? Hegseth is an idiot. Who makes Trump look weak.
Maybe somebody close to Trump will eventually start to understand that the idea of appointing an alcoholic moron as head of the most powerful armed force in the world wasn't such a great idea.
This is right up there with Trump spewing word vomit about the trade deals with Canada and Mexico being the worst he’s ever seen as his basis for tariffs against them, while conveniently forgetting he negotiated those same trade deals term #1.
It refers to the Act of 2017 so guess who is wrong mate?
Not sure if it is a reading or IQ problem on your side?
I know we all suspect Trump’s supporters of having IQ issues.
Biden executed Trump’s legislation.
I love how you Trumpists like it both ways.
If Biden had not executed it you would have been screaming at him.
Biden could do nothing without Trump’s legislation. The responsibility is with Trump.
It's a good example that they really don't know what they're doing, why they're doing it, whether it's a good thing or not, etc. As long as they get to play at being authoritative and they think it'll sound good to their remaining supporters...
So here’s a riddle… if the mere presence, thought of or acknowledgement of women distract from the ultimate goal of war-fighting shouldn’t all elite warrior men be gay? But then, gays aren’t allowed in the ranks… This is a tricky one.
Pete is as if the one kid who thought every class but weightlifting and conditioning was stupid became superintendent and then made sure every class in his district was just a variation on that class.
I think he meant to write execute but of course he is drunk - again. Just the usual DUI “DEI” hire crap we are stuck with until the other drunk decided to let him go!
I’m a former JAG. Altogether too much of our work came from our sisters in arms who’d been sexually harassed or abused or raped. And some of it came from guys like Hegseth. The comments. The inappropriate activities. Illegal affairs with junior folks where consent isn’t easily refused. Those guys.
Probably has the shakes when he holds his phone up and by the way, if somebody comes in here and claims that’s cruel to say, it is, but these people are crueler.
There could probably have been another one pointing out that the DoD, the commanders and troops' core task is *defense*, not "war-fighting". The clue is in the name of the department.
I wonder if Petey found that readers not helpful? 🤭 Geez he’s such a loser. Getting rid of anything to do with women and POC. The whole administration is such a joke
I’m not reading attachments after your patronizing post 😂. I don’t know who you guys are who follow John - but you aren’t Dems and you got Trump elected.
Congrats on your fine work to reinforce a genocide.
Asshole take… you do no good to either side. You attach to an issue most likely bc you like to be divisive and fight not bc you are deeply compassionate and trying to unify and help America.
As a woman, a former soldier and a daughter of a WWII battle of the bulge soldier I respectfully say that Hegsgeth needs to pull his head out of his ass and take a look at some FACTS.
During WWII there was a battalion of snipers that clocked more German kills than any other. They were female.
Women have been involved in every war, period. We have been nurses, combatants and have kept lines of communication open. We are sober and industrious and don't try to denigrate others based on their sex or color or gender (yes sex and gender are different).
We are not just like you.
We are better.
Thank you. Truthfully I shouldn't let things like that get to me. I was handling very high level communications for the Army back in 1975 and with some of them, they had to stay under my eye until a security officer arrived to sign them out. Nothing ever got leaked. Not like today....
How does Pete not know that the Women, Peace, and Security Act was passed in 2017 during the first Trump Administration and had significant Trump support.
It’s insanity 😱😱😱
Problem is, Magas will be swearing by tomorrow that Hegseth ended a "woke Biden program," and no amount of factual evidence will get them to relent, and then they'll say you have "TDS."
So its essentially a really dumb way of gaslightibg someone for not liking trump? Lmao i miss they days when they just called someone the R-slur, bc at least it wasnt truncated like this
It's funny, if I do some like mispronounce a word in a meeting, I feel utterly mortified, but people like Trump and Skippy McWarfighter seem to have utterly no capacity for shame.
I mean, if I fell asleep in the front row at a papal funeral, I'd feel terrible. These guys feel nothing.

Does he mean "executate"?
🙄
It was performative when they passed it, perfromative when he canceled it, and they know their voters are too stupid to remember anything before breakfast
He really should just shut up.
Look at what happened to Leon.

Yeah, that tracks
I'm not really that far off, am I?
The man before him was a four star general with decades of experience.
This mofo is a clueless shit talking coward
I thought Trump was the Peace President?
Overburden and "over burden"
or
Executive and execute.
This is as bad as Lutnick and his use of 'tradecraft' in every interview.
Where did he find these guys. ?
make up for the secretary
The drunk was fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
That their post was just Pete ranting

He sounds like a kid playing COD online

Let noone forget about this perpetual clown show.

During WWII there was a battalion of snipers that clocked more German kills than any other. They were female.
We are not just like you.
We are better.
You may hurt yourself mtfr
It’s insanity 😱😱😱
and the shot doesn't even come close to going in.
I mean, if I fell asleep in the front row at a papal funeral, I'd feel terrible. These guys feel nothing.
