Commanders are dropping like flies this year

So...you were right. Could have just been an email. -
Can't wait for the enemy within to get dealt with by deploying the military to every major city in the US to train. Real strong "states rights" vibe from the side that consistently cried about it. Also, “When you let the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes, so you have to address the small stuff,” Hegseth said. “This is on duty, in the field and in the rear... We don’t have a military full of Nordic pagans.” Been on here a while, and some of you should hate the small stuff/big stuff comment. Also, did he check with the FBI director? I thought we were supposed to go to Valhalla?

Dept of War renaming def a good use of tax payer funds.

Well, isn't that just about how it should go with this admin - https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-air-force-denies-early-retirement-group-transgender-service-members-2025-08-07/

What? Details of their affairs weren't known by the public until years later. > I didn't want a mentally impaired octogenarian in charge. So you're not happy with the...lemme see... 79 yr old in office?

There's only one office forcing this to be a constitutional crisis. The Rs have 2 of 3 levers of govt. They could fund a fast track courts to go through these quick(er). but as we saw the the R border bill in 2024, it's better to scream about it in the news than actually solve the problem.

No, I hated Obama's use of drones and splattering citizens. Impeachable. Opens the door to anyone getting called a terrorist and being disappeared...kinda like the rhetoric we're starting to hear now. "Mass invasion" is interesting wording. We have a refugee process that should be followed and funded to operate. A Venezuela refugee fleeing a communist dictator warms my Reagan-era heart. Non-violent illegals here wanna cut my grass, build houses and make baller tacos? I'm down, let's fund the process to make them not-illegal. Violent ones, here and coming here? GTFO.

Like you'd address it in a realistic way if he did.

Depends if you think everyone deserves due process or just the people you want to have it. Also an independent but co-equal branch of the government exercising its power as it sees appropriate. Pretty sure I heard about some guy that was a founding father saying something along the lines of "I disagree with what you say but defend you right to say it," as a right or something.

If this dude got bounced because Laura Loomer...wtf is even this administration. Holy shit, is this real life? https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/national-security/3370237/trump-fired-nsa-director-tim-haugh-laura-loomer/ or https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2025/04/04/democrats-attack-discredited-conspiracy-theorist-laura-loomer-as-nsa-director-and-deputy-are-reportedly-axed/

Representation has generally meant the Congress, which is my argument. These powers should not run unchecked for any administration, much like the War Powers Act.

Worked for him when I was in CYBERCOM. Good dude, mostly good ideas and really cared about the mission and the people. His bad idea(s) were trying to solve a problem he was put in, and the didn't ever take effect. I can't speak on the CSAF, CNO, VCSAF getting fired with a personal anecdote. But Haugh knew his shit, was a cyber "operator" (stop laughing), and cared about his people. This is a massive loss for warfighing in the "new" domain. And if this is because he wouldn't co-sign splitting up NSA and CYBERCOM then whoever replaces him to do that is setting back our capes at minimum a decade, if not more.
