Defense secretaryās speech touching on physical fitness and doctrine of lethality was seen as āegotisticalā and ādangerousā
Naveed Shah, a veteran and activist who served as an enlisted public affairs specialist ā an army journalist ā uncharacteristically found himself searching for words to describe the address of the newly styled secretary of war to flag officers on Tuesday.
āA lot of the words that are coming to me arenāt fit to print,ā said Shah, policy director for Common Defense, a veterans advocacy organization. āThe people in that room who have served for 20, 30-plus years in uniform do not need Pete Hegseth to tell them about warrior ethos.ā
Hegsethās hour-long Ted talk-style address touching on physical fitness, the doctrine of lethality and the perils of DEI certainly drew more attention than a policy memo might have, and perhaps more than Donald Trumpās rambling, politically charged hour-long speech that followed.
Thatās not how this works. Fascism is a constant stream of filtering those that will stop following its orders one step at a time. This is just more of that. By the time they are gunning down protesters in the streets there wonāt be one Joe left that is willing to stand against it. Thatās the point. Donāt hope the military is gonna be āhonorableā.
All that honor crap is just a means of keeping them following orders. Theyāre not your saviors. Theyāve always just been the people that kill people for those in power.
This jingoism brought to you by Carlās Junior and the NFL.
Iāll be honest. Never heard that term until now. Had to look it up. I guess in America we literally have always had the aggressive foreign wars so having a separate term from Nationalism isnāt really too helpful.
Its etymology is not North American in origin.
