But you should see the current testosterone levels of our troops!

Hegseth is an amateur.

Not even an amateur, he's a racist, misogynist wanker, who doesn't talk strategy or tactics, because he doesn't know a fucking thing about either. Instead, he talks pseudoscience about testosterone levels, obsesses about facial-hair regulations, and blocks promotions of women and Black men to senior ranks.

Yep that's a whole other element that isn't talked about enough:

Trump and Hegseth executed what I can only describe as a 'Stalin-esque' purge of officers, prior to this all starting.

Now they weren't literally executed or sent to gulags, but they're not part of the military anymore.

... this cripples your military's ability to do stuff that you, beforehand, probably would have just taken for granted as things that it can do. The kind of stuff that you normally don't notice, because you only notice it when it isn't being done correctly.

Fucking idiots.

As always, the soldiers pay the price in the end. This horrible morale will not improve things either. I feel sorry for those kids that depend on these yahoos to be safe, their families too.

This Hegseth guy doesn't seem to think of either.

The only tactic that Hegseth knows is how to suck off a bottle.
