Well, he was a little more polite than that, but not much. Of course, when their subordinates screw up in a massive way like these generals and admirals have over the last three decades, these generals and admirals would not have sugarcoated it. There would be no talk of feelings, no hugging. They would nuke their delinquent subordinates until they glowed. Some of the flag officers\u2014 the ones with a future in a military devoted to winning wars\u2014 appreciated this refreshing dose of toxic masculinity, but far too many of them channeled Margaret Dumont and are now scrambling to the press like little weasels to leak the anonymous equivalent of, \u201cOh, well, I never!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s embarrassing: \u201cPete Hegseth was mean to us, and we aren\u2019t going to be friends with him anymore! We\u2019re totally gonna write a whole page on him in the slam book!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No, really. The Washington Times got the scoop from these feminine cowards who donned the camouflage of anonymity to slag their boss instead of pulling their stars from their epaulets and slamming them on his desk. Nobody resigns anymore; they just gossip and talk smack behind people\u2019s backs. It\u2019s like Mean Girls with a camo color palette: The aggression is passive, and these generals and admirals have won the same number of wars as Regina, Karen, and Gretchen. The big difference is that what these flag officers can\u2019t make happen is not \u201cfetch\u201d but \u201cvictory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s review some of the achievements of the generals and admirals who are mad because Pete Hegseth doesn\u2019t appreciate their awesome awesomeness:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No unequivocal victories in wars in over 30 years.<\/li>\n<li>The Afghanistan rout and the utterly unnecessary death of 13 service members, plus the maiming of many more.<\/li>\n<li>A Pentagon more concerned with promoting social pathologies than promoting hard-core warfighters.<\/li>\n<li>The decline of the Navy in terms of numbers, focus, and seamanship, including ships regularly ramming into each other.<\/li>\n<li>Flat-out discrimination against people of pallor who have penises.<\/li>\n<li>DEI idiocy that took away training focus and undermined morale and unit cohesion.<\/li>\n<li>The utter betrayal of our troops over COVID, including the dismissal of thousands of service members who refused to take a vaccine that everybody now concedes doesn\u2019t do what it promised to do.<\/li>\n<li>Recruiting numbers in the toilet because the normal young people who usually make up our military accurately sensed that they were despised and would be betrayed by their leadership.<\/li>\n<li>A veteran community so disgusted by what happened to their beloved military that they began advising young people against enlisting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yeah, that\u2019s quite a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Very impressive. Never have so many been so arrogant with so few accomplishments and so many unmitigated failures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/kurtschlichter\/2025\/10\/24\/fat-loser-generals-can-get-bent-n2665400\">Town Hall<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A Platoon Leader in Operation Desert Storm, Colonel Schlichter retired from the California National Guard after 28 years of service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You talkin&#8217; to me?
