Our military has never seemed weaker on the global stage thanks to Cadet Bones Spurs’ regime carrying out Project 2025\u2019s planned changes to the U.S. military. <\/p>\n

Read more Fed-up GOP senator teaches Trump fans basic civics as rabid MAGA accuses him of \u2018treason\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Aside from renaming the Defense Department to the Department of War during peacetime, the other shredding of our esteemed military being carried out right in front of us includes everything the Heritage Foundation wanted: ending diversity programs, reversing reproductive care travel policies, and reviewing high-ranking officer promotions for political alignment. <\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s renaming warships after terrible people, stranding the USS Abraham Lincoln, and manufacturing a war in Iran to distract from the Epstein Files, because the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East just weren\u2019t enough. <\/p>\n

Trump has a long history of openly disrespecting our armed forces, because that\u2019s what weak, thin-skinned, jealous bullies do when they come face-to-face with their opposites. He takes no responsibility for the egregious body counts \u2014 both foreign and domestic \u2014 attributed to his two administrations. A weakened American military makes our country vulnerable to attacks from our enemies, which is exactly what Putin wants. It pairs nicely with the visuals of the vandalism in D.C. perpetrated by only one person; Putin\u2019s puppet himself delivered the weakest version of our country as a 250th birthday present for Daddy Vladdy.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s really no better example of how much Trump hates the military than his installation of former Fox News Talking Head and fellow thrice-married serial philanderer \u201cPunch-Drunk\u201d Pete Hegseth as the \u201cSecretary of War.\u201d Bringing his brash Broski braggadouchery to the MAGA base, \u201cKegseth\u201d \u2014 a nickname he\u2019s rightfully earned thanks to his multiple drunken public appearances \u2014 served in the National Guard from 2002 to 2021 and has now turned the Pentagon into a frat house with its own Green Room where he can get his makeup done before doing the world\u2019s worst photo ops.<\/p>\n

Together, Trump and Kegseth went scorched earth on the Pentagon and purged anyone who wasn\u2019t going to choose loyalty to Trump over America. Under the guise of getting rid of anyone who was pro-DEI initiatives, they fired high-ranking military leaders from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Senior Service Officers, and also blocked the promotion of at least 45 officers. <\/p>\n

During his controversial tenure, Hegseth has been focused on strutting around and putting on pretend shows of strength. Colin Jost\u2019s impression of Hegseth on SNL is so spot-on, it\u2019s scary while also being funny\/not funny.<\/p>\n

Aside from making a mockery of our military on the global stage, Hegseth has been obeying orders by pulling a Bari Weiss and firing three employees of the venerable military publication Stars and Stripes <\/em><\/em>after they reported \u2014 accurately \u2014 about the abhorrent conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. <\/p>\n

Kind of like how the White House posted a \u201cLeftist Influencers\u201d List on its website<\/u> to target three independent political content creators after they reported \u2014 accurately \u2014 on Trump\u2019s health amid multiple \u201cannual\u201d visits to Walter Reed within the same calendar year. <\/p>\n

Or how Trump constantly bullies the press <\/u>instead of ever answering their questions. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just weird how they keep trying to punish people who are just doing their jobs.<\/p>\n

Read more FBI\u2019s \u2018insane\u2019 move sends MS NOW scrambling to make an awkward clarification<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, Stars and Stripes (S&S)<\/em><\/u><\/em> \u2014 which still has a print edition! \u2014has reported on the United States Armed Forces and their communities since the Civil War era. <\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

While it operates from within the Department of Defense <\/del>War, it\u2019s independent and editorially separate from it, and its First Amendment rights to report on military actions and other issues relevant to our military has been guaranteed by Congress.<\/p>\n

Of course, none of that matters to Punch-Drunk Pete and the Epstein Bestie who keeps taking naps on camera while behind the Resolute Desk. While they\u2019ve made it abundantly clear that they couldn\u2019t care less about the conditions our servicepeople must live under, they care very much about the optics of a disaster like the one aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. <\/p>\n

Rather than apologizing and taking responsibility or, I don\u2019t know, properly taking care of every member of our armed forces with dignity and respect so that they wouldn\u2019t be considering suicide, Kegseth and Trump are just worried about their bad actions making them look bad. <\/p>\n

So Hegseth, who can\u2019t do a pull-up and has dumbed down every press conference from the Pentagon, ordered Editor-in-Chief Erik Slavin to fire journalist Lara Korte. When Slavin refused, Hegseth fired them, as well as publisher Max D. Lederer Jr., for \u201cinsubordination.\u201d All three are now on \u201cadministrative leave\u201d awaiting a court ruling after they filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Hegseth, Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, DOD public affairs official Andrew Brey, and the DOD itself. <\/p>\n

I guess Trump and Kegseth have to decide if it makes them look worse to admit the truth, or to fire the people who report the truth they don\u2019t want to admit to. They are both threats to national and international security. The least qualified person to ever oversee our military is one boozy brunch away from accidentally launching a nuke over a perceived slight.<\/p>\n

All of this makes my brain cry, because I\u2019m so tired of the stupidest people carrying out the most obvious yet also stupidest plot to destroy our democracy from within. Stars and Stripes<\/em><\/em> has been around since THE CIVIL WAR ERA and the drunk guy from Fox News and the handsy host of The Apprentice<\/em><\/em> shouldn\u2019t be anywhere near it.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t stress that enough, because now we\u2019re hearing that Hegseth is \u201cseriously considering\u201d a presidential run in 2028<\/u>, which is just too stupid to think about. Although, I can\u2019t say I wouldn\u2019t enjoy watching Sen. Jon \u201cHotticus Finch\u201d Ossoff<\/u> shred Punch-Drunk Pete in a debate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a lifelong respect for our military, and I can only hope that once Democrats flip Congress, they\u2019ll be investigating Hegseth and his staff for war crimes as part of their campaign of accountability for the Trump regime.<\/p>\n
