President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world’s largest and most powerful military.
I don't fail to appreciate your viewpoint, but while such a military exists, I'd like stopping 21st century Hitler before he can get started to be a service they provide.
21st century hitler? Who are we talking about, bush? Biden? Netenyahu?
The military is already struggling to recruit and moves like this will only delegitimize our military even more. I'm sure they'll always be able to find goons to wield guns, but it will cease to be a respectable career path for all but the most right-wing citizenry.
It's not all bad.
Oh, so the US military should intervene in the Palestinian genocide on the side of Palestine, right? And then pay reparations to Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and all the other places the US has slaughtered in the past 20 years alone.
