So, I took the day away from reading the news and what happened? Pete #Hegseth; #OpusDei #WhiteNationalist Drunken Wife Beater is now the #SecretaryOfDefense. I haven't looked at who voted for him, but there better not be any Ds on that list.

As Cassandra I say; This is bad. This is very, very bad.

As someone raised around special forces my whole life, I say; This is way worse than civvies know. I spoke to a [redacted] at [redacted base] today and he said that a lot of the command sector, who have all served well past when they could have retired, are considering retiring asap. #defense #uspol #OhFuckNo
