It's apparent to me that he thinks that everything he's saying is so badass. He's the coolest person he knows.

    I dunno. Maybe putting an alcoholic Fox News host in charge of the largest army in the world was a bad idea.

    Great... Now the bombs themselves are running LLMs‽

    Oh, right! That's how you get them to teleport into Waffle Houses.

    He looks so desperate and the words he's saying come off more as a plea than confidence.

    Oh yeah that's a boy who thinks that if he's tough enough and mean enough everyone will go his way as he's starting to worry it isn't working.

    I'd pity him if he didn't prove over and over he doesn't even deserve pity. He knows this is getting pinned on him and while I wish his boss fell for it too, I still hope this manchild faces painful consequences

    Why are they the DOD again? Wasn't there a name change?

    They are officially still the DOD. The name change has never been officially approved despite Hegseth choosing to identify with a different pronoun.

    Department of War when they can blow up innocent civilian fishing boats that can't fight back. Department of Defense when they get fucked up from someone who can, and does, fight back.

    They can't keep things straight. Got an ad recently for military service that was "Paid for by the Department of War." Plus, it makes the war sound better if it's fought for "defense." Whatever aims to make them sound better at any given time.

    They snuck in DoW as a secondary name which didn't need approval. The official name on contracts is still DoD or I guess if the person wanted they could replace Defense with War but it's all just a waste of time.

    This guy creeps me out. He loves war, bombs and fighting, but only behind his army. Weak and pathetic. Hope he gets unalived by the own war he started

    What do the bombs have that you want?

    I'm going to insist that we actually use their chosen term in this case. It's the Department of War.

    Quick, somebody dress up a bomb in a suit and arrange a meeting with these fools!

    Sorry... Didn't trump say that they had been negotiating with Iran? And that's why they stopped bombing Iran, because the negotiations were going so well? And then Iran said we're not negotiating with y'all. Is this in response to that? Like is Kegseth saying we don't actually want to negotiate anyways?

    Americans are too stupid to use words to negotiate? I can't believe it
