  • I agree that it’s a fault with the process of military planning.

    However, keep in mind that fascists etc. has the kind of leadership to ignore experts’ advice, an even override their existing processes.

    So while we don’t actually know what exactly happened behind the scenes, it’s not unlikely that Hegseth had, metaphorically, a team of military experts telling him not to charge straight into the front of the machine gun positions, but he still told them to do it “for glory”. Or that this happened at a lower level, by “leaders” with the same mindset, that he put there.


  • I don’t quite understand this conversation.

    Like, he already has been impeached, right? Wasn’t it twice, even?

    And it had the effect of splashing him with a little bit of water - oh boy he sure was a bit annoyed! Now that you two are discussing if he’s gonna be splashed with a little bit of water AGAIN, I have to ask - even if it’s trump, don’t y’all think that’s a bit cruel?

    I would put an /s, but I’m a bit lost if this even is sarcasm, but let me make clear it’s in jest and not mean spirited :D




  • Not rage, more disapproval or disgust. And I had to think why it’s so unsettling first, but I think I got it:

    Because of the vanity of making it about themselves.

    Doesn’t help that most of the time they get so many upvotes exactly because so many people think the same thing. Simplified, someone posts “what is your favorite color”, and they get thousands of upvotes on a comment that says “red”. That’s not about cumguzzler69’s comment writing career.

    But no, this is their peaking in highschool moment, gotta make thousands more read some useless fluff text showing they are under the impression everybody thinks they are so great that it warrants an award speech.

    That’s why it’s not the same if it’s a long comment where somebody put some real effort into explaining something from their area of expertise, and things like that.
