#Military-Grandstanding
The draft dodger throwing himself a $92 million military parade is accusing a Senator doing a wellness check on his illegally abducted constituent of grandstanding.

Between press purges, troop deployments in American cities and Hegseth’s grandstanding, Thomas Brennan shares his fear that the divide between the military and civilians is getting wider.

Pete's job has nothing to do with military protocol. He's a Fox host grandstanding for TV, only from a different location now.

Hegseth "has lost the trust & respect of some top military commanders, with his public 'grandstanding' widely seen as unprofessional & the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented & dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon ..."

Remember how the leaks were going to stop when reporters left the Pentagon? This Washington Times story is filled with anti-Hegseth anonymous quotes from inside the military. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...?

The military is already uncomfortable with the grandstanding…they can refuse orders and many of them will

Another day, another Tory frontbencher grandstanding and point scoring rather than showing national unity during this crisis.

Shame on James Cartlidge, especially for being tone deaf on the impact of Tory cuts to the military.

Labour are spending more on defence than we've seen for decades.

Booker needs to physically confront the military in DC, or he's just grandstanding.

I know this is the Wash. Times, but what they're reporting largely matches what I'm witnessing (although I only knew one 4 star personally, and he's already out). Aside from grandstanding, Hegseth is blocking people from Congress. He's pissing off a lot folks.

Pete Hegseth is a joke.

He plays Defense Secretary on TV—rather than leading our military and keeping America safe.

He should resign.

I’m not conservative — but Bonnie Critchley looks like the kind of person who can keep the far right in check.

A 22-year military vet, independent voice, not afraid to speak truth.

She’s pushing back against Poilievre’s grandstanding and putting her community first.

It’s only grandstanding if you get them to back down through threat of military force. If you don’t do that, it’s a serious degradation of federal authority.

"Trump has commandeered Saturday, June 14—Trump’s 79th birthday—for his military parade. Such grandstanding seems like a classic pride-goeth-before-the-fall moment. And it’s an apt date—the eighty-fifth anniversary of the Germans entering Paris on June 14, 1940." www.thebulwark.com/p/hubris-is-...

We’re in the middle of a self-inflicted financial collapse, but look at the bright side: The president won a golf tournament this weekend.

Gotta agree strongly with this one. A non-political military under civilian leadership (with a committed and experienced non-com backbone) has been a model for all democracies. We are tossing that for photo ops, grandstanding, and politics.
