What Have We Become?
Our new Secretary of Defense seems to think the path to victory is making soldiers more ruthless and violent. Forget strategy, forget diplomacy—the new doctrine is: be meaner, hit harder.
Before Trump wandered onstage to showcase his latest episode of public derangement, Peter Hegseth delivered what sounded like a high school locker room pep talk to the generals. His message? Our troops are “wimps,” weakened by the radical idea that women also serve. Morality? That’s for losers. Civilian casualties? Just background noise. The subtext was clear: it’s fair game to kill anyone who isn’t waving a Republican flag.
The generals sat there in silence, watching the performance, no doubt wondering what circus they had stumbled into.
Meanwhile, Trump and Hegseth were practically giddy over their new rebranding idea: scrap the “Department of Defense” and call it what it really is—the “Department of War.” Because what’s more macho than renaming things while innocent people die?
Trump, a lifelong fan of studio wrestling, loves the fake tough-guy act. Hegseth, when not drunk, loves to play macho man himself. Together, they strut and posture while the country stares into the abyss.
What have we become?
