To be clear. this is fascism leveling up. This will lead to an escalation of war crimes and an escalation of state sponsored terrorism against civilians in the United States
A) they won't obey illegal orders. B) if he gives them raises he won't be able to afford his next month's 10 million dollar lobster and prime rib lunches. C) he's a fucking asshat with no business holding a rifle much less sending Americans to their deaths.
“Raised concerns.”
Just report it for what it is instead of feigning concern, you compromised friggin’ journalists.
It's the most infuriating thing. Cowardice in the name of "neutrality". Spoon raises concerns it may be a spoon.
Yup, makes them just as complicit as this asshat interfering.
Once again showing that the armchair experts on social media know literally nothing about the law.
Reporting it definitively as racism would leave the news source open for an extremely easy-to-lose case of libel in the middle of an extremely litigious administration surrounded by extremely right-wing judges.

Nope.
First of all, the overly timid journalist mentions several probable reasons other than racism, some of which are MUCH easier to prove definitively than racism.
Second, it's not libel unless it's both untrue and intended to injure.
Third, the burden of proof would be on a prosecution likely appointed by the current administration and thus utterly incompetent.
Seems like YOU'RE the confidently wrong armchair expert here.
Don’t they like meritocracy?
Edit: oh wait, I spelt that wrong. It should have been “hypocrisy”.
The word you’re looking for is idiocracy
The thing here is that Hegseth has no qualifications for the job he has.
PEDOnald supporters still be going on about "meritocracy", LOL.
Not so fun fact about Hegseth, he never washes his hands because he thinks it makes you weak. The man walks around with shit covered hands everywhere he goes.
Oh, that is just nasty.
What do you mean, he has no qualifications? Haven't you seen those bad-ass Nationalist Christian tattoos?
He is a bona-fide, 100% qualified NatC....
Undoubtedly he is purging resistance to fascist ideology.
Petey doesn’t want senior officers that are brown or women.
Petey needs to go to jail after he’s fired, this Iran clusterfuck is on him.
Well because he’s a meddling racist alcoholic douchebag.
I'm so excited to see in sitting in prison in about 4 years
Hanging at the hauge would be better
