Pete Hegseth, who is notorious as the dipsomaniac kiss-butt in charge of the military, let fly another doozy while sober out of his mind recently. Quentin Tarantino is mighty chuffed. He thought he'd never reach people who were so far gone that reality has no meaning for them.
Pete Hegseth, in the midst of a religious fit, riffed off a character in pulp fiction.
America's military professionals sat there stone-faced, taking it all in.
Because they know these are very strange days indeed.
Say something, and you'll get fired.
Like many people, I admire our military professionals. Over their years of service, they have mastered many skills and garnered much experience. Sure, a few (many) of them take drugs like you wouldn't believe or swing the bottle to calm their nerves, because any moment now those addled cretins currently holding the reins of power -- with the blessings of America's mega-churches and tonnes of inbred hickville morons -- may launch us all into World Wars three, four, and five. But on the whole most of them are just waiting for their retirement, a few more laurels and ribbons, and a ripe old age playing golf. Golf is a fabulous sport.
It's very peaceful. Soothing.
Quote: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee." End quote.
----- Book of Jules
Pete Hegseth didn't actually say precisely that. He made it worse. Damned well butchered it. But his hair was very nicely slicked and combed when he said it, as you would expect.
All very macho, and manly, and warfighterish.
It looks like America is currently fighting a holy war against Iran, the Pope, and Greenland. On behalf of Gulf Arabs, Putin, and several people richer than Jesus.
As well as the Southern Baptists.
Pax vobiscum.
