Pete Hegseth tells Pentagon staff to hunt for negative Charlie Kirk posts by service members
What a great use of government's time and money.
Jesus, these people are such assholes. They won't root out xtian nationalists, but I guess they'll spend lots of energy on trying to find people that were expressing emotions that are....what's that phrase I'm thinking of?.....oh, yeah: politically incorrect.
When the Confederates were bitching and moaning about "political correctness", they were projecting.
Again.
They loooooove enforcing political correctness - the actual types of political correctness, not the imagined kinds.
Why would a Christian Nationalist root out other Christian Nationalists? Hegseth literally is one.
Well, even prior to that. Hell, the Obama admin bent over backwards to cover up the report that showed that right wing extremists were the biggest terrorist threat in the United States.
Enough time and effort, when the order to kill American "dissidents" comes in the ones that are left will be more than happy to oblige.
How many veterans and service members have said "I may not agree with what you say. But I will defend to the death your right to say it."
God damn how fucking cowardly and thin skinned these cockroaches have become.
Last I checked, hating Nazis wasn't a UCMJ violation.
Used to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for killing Nazis, not being one.
I appreciate the sentiment, but for the record, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a civilian award, so it's unlikely that anyone was awarded one for killing Nazis (although I'd be happy to be proven otherwise!). With it being the highest civilian award available, the military equivalent should be the Medal of Honor, which requires gallantry at the risk of one's own life above and beyond the call of duty.
Its literally a USCIS question for naturalization interview.
Question like: "Have you ever been a member of the nazi party", "Have you ever persecuted, or tried to persecute, anyone for religion/race/national origin/political opinions" (correct answer is "no"); "do you support the constitution and form of government [aka: Democracy, Separation of powers, etc...]" (correct answer is "yes")
If magats were assessed on this standard, they would absolutely fail (provided that the interviewers were unbiased).
Like holy shit, you could be denied citizenship or even be deported for smoking weed (since that's still illegal federally, even under democratic administrations). Like, hypothetically if you got citizenship in, say, 2016 right before trump first got elected, then they find out now in 2025 that you smoked weed in 2015, they could retroactively revoke your citizenship for the crime of violating the controlled substances act, and denaturalization happens in Civil Court where standards of proof is lower than "Beyond Resonable Doubt" (that is, assuming they even obey the law).
All that stringent process, but then we have these obvious traitors sitting on the highest office of the land. What an absolute insult to all of the naturalized citizens who swore their allegience to the constitution.
Btw: List of questions they ask: https://www.literacymn.org/sites/default/files/yes_no_qs.pdf magas will never pass this test
Purging the military for ideological reasons actively harms US defense. Pete Hegseth is a traitor.
Please hunt down and dishonorably discharge a bunch of combat trained individuals ideologically opposed to the current regime. I see no way that could backfire.
You know, the real concern shouldn't be someone looking up our posts, or even who is losing their jobs... thinking about 9/11, we're really prepping ourselves up for a similar terrorist act. Pissing off everyone, losing people in charge of espionage, wasting time investigating people making fun of Kirk instead of actual threats, and so on.
Aw no Pete, think of the ExxonMobil profits!
1st Amendment rights, anyone?
Funny how the right is always the first one to attack enshrined rights as soon as they are used against them.
goddamn I remember when living in barracks was the worst part of military service. and burn pits.
jfc, leave those poor soldiers and sailors alone already, they've got a moron for a commander in chief, a racist drunk for secdef.... trump's got them picking up trash in DC, life sucks enough for them already
Service members can either defend the construction including freedom of speech, or they can follow the orders of a dictator and his cronies.
"Ready....Aim....Type!"
defending the freedom to think the way they want you to think. 'murica!
Petey boy protects pedophiles.
Oh free speech is good if it's yours?
Trump is a pedophile
Sorry, did you say “Trump is a pedophile? Because, looking at your comment where you say “Trump is a pedophile”, your position seems to be – and I could be wrong – that Trump is a pedophile. If so, you should know that I agree with your statement that “Trump is a pedophile“ due to the overwhelming evidence that Trump is a pedophile.
I’d like to second that motion as I too agree that Trump is a pedophile.
Doing your civic duty I see.
Gotta keep the people focused :)
