Massie calling out Hegseth's preference for "maximum lethality" over "stupid rules of engagement"

delivered that rejoinder with the maximum lethality that it warrants
wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Lethality. 🤣🤣

well what it is, really, is a fundamental misunderstanding of what lethality is--insisting it is spear-chucking rather than planning and logistics
"If an activity, course, or policy does not contribute directly to lethality, readiness, and strategic victory, it has no place in this Department" is an absolutely insane thing to say about military education.

Hegseth: OK, pivoting to doing pushups, calling everyone a weirdo, and yelling about lethality, I've still got this!
Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."

Even mathematicians cannot conceive of the number of times we are going to hear about “warriors”, “lethality”, and “woke leftist ideology” during the impeachment hearings.
Ok, ok.

“If his congressional opponents vote to impeach him, Hegseth will seek to use the confrontation as a platform to aggressively defend his agenda, which includes the war with Iran, the ouster of senior military officers and rolling back past diversity policies.”

Didn’t he specifically piss on the idea of “tepid legality” when he was picked for the post? While embracing brainless lethality…

did we say lethality? we meant legality. yeah, that

Now picture that slimy asshole strutting around crowing about “maximum lethality” and “no woke rules of engagement”.
He never held a leadership position before this job.

We need high lethality culture war operators
"effective culture war" you say
Yes sir, Mr. Fix It

but, but, but... lethality????
Say it with me, folks.

"Told you so."

Anyone who did counter narcotics deployments in Central & Latin America and the Caribbean in the 90s could have told them that this would be the (non) result.

As if we needed more confirmation that Pete Hegseth and our defense department are both psychotic and ineffectual.

HEGSETH: well look situations are kinetic and my warrior, you know, mind of thinking is like, lethality needs optimalization for saving a million or tens of millions of americans from terroristic uh, engagement. domestically
MASSIE: sorry what situation are you referring to?
HEGSETH: just situations

Even if the Defense secretary isn’t impeached, his deviant philosophy deserves more scrutiny. www.vox.com/today-explai...

I reckon Hegseth will just repeat the word “lethality” while nursing a boner.
