Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This was far less ominous than I expected. I expected some declaration of war or that they need to be prepping hard for war.
I expected a purge. This is unexpectedly the funniest shit I've read all week!
yeah, I can't believe that I'm saying that Mr Hegseth pleasantly surprised me
Imagining Trump doing the Saddam thing where he reads off a list of purged individuals while they're all in the audience.
Honestly, that's bloody hilarious no matter who does it. For different reasons, for sure, but funny in almost every case.
I expected a loyalty oath.
There kind of was, there was a threat of fall in line or get fired
This is clearly setting that up though.
this can't be the sole purpose for this gathering, right? this must be a cover for some closed door types of meetings, right? if not, then America continues to surprise me at how stupid it really is
Another one of those moments where it’s so dumb we all expect there to be an alterior motive
Definitely nefarious shit going on in the background
Well, he also told a room full of seniors that have been at a desk for years that he was bringing back fitness requirements for generals lmao.
If that is anything and isnt just stopped for being stupid it will be selectively used against any senior officer who doesn't fall in line.
Sounds pretty fuckin' ominous to me.
woops i did not see that
