Simple math would suggest it can't get any smaller.

Breaking News: The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth as defense secretary after Vice President JD Vance cast a tiebreaking vote. Three Republicans joined all Democrats in opposition, and the final vote, 51 to 50, is one of the smallest margins in modern times. nyti.ms/4hxxPDT

Things were already going to be grim enough with the military under Trump, but they're going to be grim under him, especially for women and anyone else who isn't a straight, white Christian male.

That just simply isn’t who makes up the bulk of every branch afaik. No way to restrict recruitment that that narrow model, won’t make numbers etc.

Good luck with recruiting! It's already bad, and I know people who have decided not to enlist/apply for OCS because of all of this

A but at least the Nave will have warriors of manly man men who can swing through the rigging with a brace of pistols holding a cutlass between their teeth
Sadly I fear the real reason is so trump has an obedient sycophant to do his bidding on questionable legal grounds

You're expecting something like "simple math" from the NYT?

I dunno, how do you count the votes of halfwits?🤣

My worry….Hegseth will fail us all. Uniformed Military…the President…—and we, the people. Lives will be lost—needlessly.
A wreckless appointment by Trump and seems intentional.

Disable the most post powerful military on the earth?? #hegsethunqualified

The military already has recruitment problems.
No one is going want to join the military with drunken rapist and president threatening the world with military force. You're also going to see rash of resignations and re-up contracts numbers plummet.

We have a China problem? The Pentagon ...
1/2

2/2 has placed window of opportunity for China to seize Taiwan about 26 27 28 ish timeframe. Weaken military has now drastically increased the risk. With weakened US military.

Historical Note: The decision for Hitler to launch an invasion of Russia. Came right after Stalin's purge.

Miniscule. Miniature. Like the inauguration..

Goddess help us all
