An achievement of great honor.

We depend on these institutions to make sure our money of the Treasury is spent with best effect, without fraud, waste or abuse, and determine if this or that spending program has benefits exceeding the costs. Trump has seriously damaged part of those safeguards by eliminating the Inspectors General in various agencies.

Maybe they all will take a turn with a knife stabbing Hegseth and POTUS, so noone can be prosecuted for the killing wound?

lmao look at this cringe shit. Any normal human being would die of embarrassment spouting this stuff in front of a room of every general in the military. This is bumper sticker quality thought.

Unfortunately the only war they are preparing for is against the resistance to dictatorship in America.

The vibe here is getting stuck in a timeshare presentation. Odds Hegseth has an accident after this are going up exponentially.

The problem with DEI isn't just that better candidates are missing out on job opportunities, it's also that we're stuck with dumbasses that shouldn't have the jobs they do. That impacts you too.

This was a terrible idea and if he had a lick of sense would not have done it because I would be fucking terrified of getting fragged or having some horrible but deniable accident. No beards? Like every spec ops guy in the game would be looking for you.

It is not that easy. Ever had a manager everybody absolutely hated and that as a result got sabotaged until they quit in borderline madness? This but with the additional probability that your termination could be from our plain of existence.

When you have a manner that is to repellent and are totally incompetent this is impossible because many or most of these will hate you too. You also might not live long enough to try.
