Central casting manly manness trumps gluglugging?
*Hops into a battle tank outside the officers mess…
As a Vet, I’m insulted and furious that the oath I took and the UMCJ I followed will be disrespected by the likes of Hegseth!

You can’t remove context like that & expect to understand the decay.
I fear that none of the donald's picks will cause a major problem, for the same reason.
Bush got away with Katrina.
I've never seen an elephant so large in a living room so small with such little comment.
It makes *perfect* sense if the point is to ensure we no longer have the most powerful military in the world!
