Trump's war on Iran immediately became a clusterfuck because he fired all of the smart admirals and generals, likely the ones who pushed back on his war on Iran.

This article discusses 13 of those firings.

    And Kegsbreath is firing people under him left and right. We can assume that's because they're telling him we're headed for another 20 year quagmire if things don't change fast. Of course the problem is there's lots of money to be made in 20 year quagmires - that's why we keep inventing them out of thin air.

    From what I can tell, "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" string-pullers turned the military into a foul DEI cesspool. It'll take a generation to fix it!

    No, from what you were told, pedophile's bitch. You are such a ravenously gullible consumer of the MAGA line of baseless flaming horseshit.

    The admirals and generals Hegseth fired likely pushed back on plans to commit crimes against humanity.

    I take that as a signal that they're going to go all the way with a ground invasion and regime change. The Arab states are demanding it now.

    I don't see Russia or China allowing it, though let alone Iran. This is going to be bad.

    At least pedophile's bitch will get a good laugh out of it.


  7. by Indy! on April 4, 2026 8:39 pm

    Oh, I think China and Russia will welcome it. Getting us bogged down in another unwinnable quagmire? That's their dream scenario.

    Lead"From what I can tell, "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" string-pullers turned the military into a foul DEI cesspool."
    I agree with that. Especially when the JCS was fully ingulfed in the DEI cesspool. New Commander and Chief who want a military that is actually a military, not some experiment is gender studies. And women don't have to room in open bays with males.[1]

    donna- "Trump's war on Iran immediately became a clusterfuck because he fired all of the smart admirals and generals, likely the ones who pushed back on his war on Iran."

    So now what do you think? We have undisputed air superiority, undisputed superiority of the seas in which the only thing they can use are small boats. The houthis have their SAM sites along with a bunch of silkworms. This is dangerous, but not a game changer.

    The only thing we won't have superiority in is the ground war like I've said before. Two things here. If we go to a ground war, the Iranian civilians will take the worst part of that. It's going to involve taking out numerous civilian targets, and I honestly don't think trumpster is willing to do that. Also, if we do that, the KIA toll on both sides would be a lot like another Stalingrad on a national level.

    Señorita Snowflake is just mad because (as she admitted herself) biological women can shoot better than her. Kind of destroys her entire "alpha male" cosplay situation.

    I'm talking about brains, not weaponry. Sounds like you support the brain drain that trump has inflicted on our military. You absolutely adore Pete Hegseth, don't you?

    Umm, no they didn't.


  13. by Donna on April 8, 2026 7:32 am

    Yes they did.

    No, I'm a realist. And here I actually thought you actually read the post.🙄


  15. by Donna on April 8, 2026 7:41 am

    Well then prove me wrong.



  16. by Donna on April 8, 2026 2:58 pm

    okdd dude, there's nothing in thenewamerican article that even discusses DEI. It's all about TG military personnel and bathrooms. You should actually read the articles you source.

    People who are helped by DEI still have to pass the same tests that everybody else has to pass in order to become air traffic controllers, lawyers, or any other occupations. You aren"t going to find any source that says otherwise.




  17. by oldedude on April 9, 2026 4:11 pm
    Donna- First, something almost all non-military folks don't know. The ASVAB (test to get into the military) is a completely sliding scale. SO like Navy said. He got in with a GED. I could not. At one point, although nothing was said, there was a push in to get minorities and inner city. So let's assume that Navy scored higher in his selected career than someone with a high school diploma. He may very well be offered a position. Also, if he was from the inner city, with a lower score, he would have been admitted.

    The big thing is not having the DEI and therefore 1. Because they were "pushing" DEI, others better qualified were passed up. NOT hiring to the racist/ sexist DEI standards.
    2. The military ran into huge issues by having non-transitioned "women" placed in the same dorm as biological women. Before you start, there is a difference with schools in the military. As you go through the pipeline (from basic training to your advanced school) the dorms are normally bays that hold 50 or so soldiers. There is one shower room, not individual showers. Just (say) 8 shower heads in a room (and not usually a door). Heads are individualized now though.
    This was an "EO" pedojoe put out which violated U.S. Code - Title 10. Armed Forces § 7419. It also caused pretty severe issues with congress when women military members complained to their congressperson's.

    1. " SO like Navy said. He got in with a GED. "

    That's not what I said. I got in with no high school diploma. I aced the ASVAB and they gave me a waiver. I got my GED while I was in ... which was a waste of time, but I thought I would need it later.

    2. Is this post by OD supposed to be him proving Donna wrong? Or even a valid response to her?


  19. by oldedude on April 9, 2026 5:18 pm
    Okay, let me correct myself. the site poser was too stupid to even have a GED. Obviously, he didn't have any pride in himself, and (my guess) had hand cuffs on when he recited his oath.

    Good enough for you?

    And I DID answer her statement. I didn't choose to be a dickhead like you usually are. Those are the facts around the ASVAB.

    Oh, BTW, NOBODY ACES THE ASVAB. It's built that way. If you actually did, you'd be investigated. dumbass.


  20. by Indy! on April 9, 2026 6:01 pm

    Having a GED doesn't mean you're stupid, Odie. Lots of people are too smart for the high school curriculum, get bored, drop out and then later find out they need a HS diploma or a GED to get into college or into the military or to apply for a job. I probably would have dropped out of high school myself for the same reason except I was having too much fun partying with my friends at school.


  21. by oldedude on April 9, 2026 9:01 pm
    You've should have actually read the fucking post. What it said was that he DIDN'T HAVE A GED OR HS DIPLOMA. I was giving him the creds for having a GED. I actually think that EVERY HS "Diploma" should take it. But you're too fucking stupid to actually read anything.

    And had you and the poser actually read my post, you would have realized that in my "example," I was "assuming" that he had the GED, and gave the little cornuda props that my guess is that he scored that high. He still won't give any factual information about it's "military" "service" and still mocks me for asking something that every other actual veteran would talk about. I was trying to toss him a break, and he turned into a fucking badger on me. Fuck her and everyone like her. It's nothing more than a poser (cornuda) a little girl that's ashamed of what it did.


  22. by Donna on April 10, 2026 8:56 am

    What I said in post #16 stands. If you want a federal government job likd air traffuc controller, lawyer, physjcian, etc. you have to pass the same test everyone takes, period.

    When the military has trouble getting enough saps to join, they lower the standards for everyone. ICE also apparently dropped its physical requirements so that obese, out-of-shape men, mostly White can become agents. And none of that has nothing to do with DEI.



  23. by Navy2711 on April 10, 2026 9:05 am

    OD,

    1. "Too stupid to even have a GED"

    I was still in high school. I enlisted halfway through my senior year. Why TF would I have a GED while I was still enrolled in high school?

    2. "hand cuffs on when he recited his oath"

    If 17-year-old boys in hand cuffs is your thing, whatever, but don't talk about it here, okay?


  24. by HatetheSwamp on April 10, 2026 9:07 am

    "People who are helped by DEI still have to pass the same tests that everybody else has to pass in order to become air traffic controllers, lawyers, or any other occupations. You aren"t going to find any source that says otherwise."

    What are your sources?


  25. by Donna on April 10, 2026 9:23 am

    Look it up.


  26. by Donna on April 10, 2026 9:27 am

    Here ya go. From AI:

    Do people who are part of the US DEI program have to pass the same test to qualify for federal government jobs?

    Yes, individuals applying for federal government jobs in the United States must pass the same qualification standards and assessments, regardless of their participation in or affiliation with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Federal hiring is mandated by law to be fair, merit-based, and competitive, and DEI initiatives are designed to widen the applicant pool to find qualified candidates, not to bypass tests.


  27. by Donna on April 10, 2026 9:29 am

    Has State Regime Media (a.k.a. Fox News) been telling you guys something else?


  28. by HatetheSwamp on April 10, 2026 9:34 am

    Donna,

    Beside the point. With DEI, people who pass the minimal requirement exam or whatever..., not the most highly qualified are often selected. That's DEI in action.


  29. by oldedude on April 10, 2026 9:54 am
    donna- please read my effing post again.
    Key features!

    there is very little pass/fail marks. EVERYTHING is built on a sliding scale. I think that's the one snowflakes can't grasp.

    I score 400 on the ASVAB in mechanical and a 550 in logic. They need aircraft mechanics. Guess what. I may be qualified to go to intel school. AND I'm an aircraft mechanic.

    DEI scenario. They need DEI people by EO. I score 550 in logic. A DEI hire scores a 450. The DEI hire gets the intel job, I'm an aircraft mechanic.

    So. You are correct in the non military realm though. I didn't mention it, and as far as the tower operators go. The reason they were short handed is they couldn't find DEI hires with those qualifications and by EO, they couldn't fill those slots with non-DEI hires. So in that situation, you're absolutely correct, although the left was all about "not hiring DEI," It was a question of having the qualified people to fill those slots.


  30. by Indy! on April 10, 2026 10:34 am

    If you were an aircraft mechanic, I'd never fly again.


  31. by Donna on April 11, 2026 11:21 am

    Okay, od. But it sounds to me like that could happdn with any recruit, not just DEI.

    "Beside the point. With DEI, people who pass the minimal requirement exam or whatever..., not the most highly qualified are often selected. That's DEI in action." - Hts

    How about the non-DEI applicants who pass the minimal requirement exam or whatever? Why do you assume tbat only DEI applicants barely pass the tests?
