It's like 10 days until the the houses decision today to control the iran war comes into effect, and I'm fully expecting a false flag and an escalation before that.

Seeing this guy taking a bow out is nuts in and of itself- but doing it right now is just really really really nuts.

Coming from an army vet that is.

I noticed today at my local coffee shop that Australia's Murdoch owned national news paper is pushing hard on Iranian terrorism and spy shit so looks like they are priming our RWNJs to clutch their pearls real hard. I assume Murdoch's media empire is in lock step with that shit in preparation.

Pete Hegseth, who has undertaken an effort to thin the ranks of the military’s top brass with the mantra “less generals, more GIs”.

Meanwhile, studies show that there should be a pretty low limit to the number of subordinates directly controlled by a leader.

Upside is that if shit goes bad and we see some type of American balkanization it'll make fighting the feds a whole lot easier. Pretty sure literal antiquited tactics would work against anything Kegsbreath could think up.

Ok, I read the article. It doesn't state why he's stepping down. It does comment on how Hegseth is fucking up the top brass, and how yet another review of the withdrawal from Afghanistan is coming down the pike. It does mention there are talks about downgrading the rank of the command he held.

I don't think you have a point!
