Being fat doesn’t reduce a leader’s ability to manage logistics, define tactics and strategy, build confidence in leadership or use technology. This focus on physical capabilities while we watch drones and robots take over modern warfare is insane. This incompetence will remove highly skilled soldiers and replace them with those less capable of modern warfare, and likely less capable of using new technologies. The people who are removed will go somewhere and bring the value of that skillset with them, empowering someone or something other than the US military. This administration’s obsession with loyalty and obedience over competence and independent thinking will weaken America and create opportunities for adversaries to exploit.
Reverting to the values of a former age is a death sentence for the future. The world has changed and if America refuses to keep up with those changes, it will only hasten the fall.
His nickname is Twinky Pete. He likes his twinks.
Tired of all these unfuckable troops in my military. I demand everyone have an ass I can bounce a quarter off of.
#No-Homo
I honestly hope Nazis continue to fuck with military personnel. These are volunteers trained to shoot a rifle and they’re supposedly willing to kill or be killed to defend our freedoms.
For the love of god please open up multiple fronts in the war on America.
You’re hoping for a military coup?
Sorry to tell you but the military, particularly combat arms, are more conservative than not. And they usually have opinions that you’d label “Nazi”.
Are these the guys that we see on the memes mocking right wing soldiers?
If he wouldn’t swipe right on his Grindr you’re gone
Ooh, ooh…do the Commander in Chief next. He’s the fattest one of all.
You mean civilian leadership vs military leadership?
FDR won WWII from a wheelchair, your comment makes no sense.
Sorry, what’s the purported correlation between FDR’s paralysis and Trump’s general unhealthiness?
The idea that the CiC needs to be physically fit to do the job.
Well, they obviously do need to be fit for the job, hence Trump’s mental decline being even more concerning than his original mental state. Given the lack of fit Americans interested in enlistment you might also think a bit of leading by example couldn’t hurt. And of course, I’d hate to be a National Guard member in an administrative role sent home for optics when I didn’t need to be physically fit to perform my job.
“Do need to be fit”
So FDR was fit in his wheelchair when he won WWII?
Seriously, military leadership and civilian are wildly different.
“Optics”
It’s standards and discipline, not optics. Can’t meet the standard, tough shit.
Are you trying to have a “gotcha” moment here? You’re arguing with yourself. You’ve already stated the commander in chief doesn’t need to be physically fit to serve, and I’ve not disagreed, and already stated that their mental state is of much more concern to me.
I don’t think we’re going to have a meaningful conversation on something quite as nuanced as leading by example, so let’s just call that one a mulligan.
Anyone in the National Guard has already met the organization’s standards, and moves by the presidential administration to change those standards as a direct response to bad optics are obviously done to improve the optics
“Gotcha”
Nope, just wanted to make sure we agree that the folks talking about Trump needing to be in good physical shape as CiC are silly.
“Mental”
Sure but that’s not a military standard. Theres no mental PT test.
“Leading by example”
That’s in the military, like how Milley should have. Civilian leadership physical fitness doesn’t matter.
“NG”
And if they fall out of those standards, or can’t meet the current standards, can be kicked out.
We all know this, it’s not new and it’s entirely appropriate. If anything, this is long overdue.
You didn’t listen to Hegseth’s speech to the generals? He said, everyone in the chain of command from the bottom to the top, needs to be in prime physical condition.
Yep, in the military, CiC does not count and never has. FDR with his hot wheels?
The grander point is Trump is unfit under a number of metrics.
The even bigger point is he straight up should not be CiC - nobody here is trying to say a fat person can’t be CiC but it is super hypocritical with what bullshit is going on right now.
Cool and the voters disagreed with you.
“Hypocritical”
Not even a little bit, since there’s no requirement for fitness for the CiC. FDR won WWII in a wheelchair, it’s literally irrelevant.
‘Fat’ soldiers are fired. Meanwhile, ICE is expanding their already burgeoning Meal Team Six battalions.
Yep, two completely different missions.
Imperialism abroad and imperialism at home?
Nope, military and immigration enforcement.
Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for black forest cake
Yeah, still not an argument.
Again, they are two different missions and I can’t believe you don’t know that.
Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for black forest cake
So you’re just conceding that you have no argument.
Ok, deal.
Pentagon Pete is a ridiculous and unnecessary nickname.
Secretary Shitface, please.
It’s supposed to be Twinky Pete.
Triple SecDef
Pete Kegsbreath
Pete Kegseth.
I’d call him “that fucker” but there’s too many fuckers for that to be clear.
I’m a fan of “Two Week Pete” myself.
If you can’t kickflip a skateboard into your dick, consider yourself dismissed.
Instructions unclear. Felt bored, so I skated around the idea and considered kicking my dick. I flipped and missed.
uses a TechDeck to kickflip onto his dick to rail grind it
Like this?
May he experience sudden hypothyroidism.
Like honestly I think struggling with his weight is something he is less capable of handling than even prison
If you’re working maintenance, then you absolutely want a 300 pound guy on the other of a lever while you’re working on a suspension.
He should fire his fat head of his. Fatty
“war on weight” is absolutely brilliant.
