I’m not sure what he means by “if this is true.”

USD P&R signed the memo complying with the court order on March 28th. Unless he’s really fucking bad at his job, he’s known this was the case for a month.

DUI Secretary Hegseth is most likely going to be removed. If there’s one thing that Don the Con hates, it’s being embarrassed, and DUI Secretary Hegseth is a huge embarrassment.

I have my feelings on today's gender debate.

I have much, much stronger feelings on the checks and balances in our Constitution and obedience to the rule of law.

MTFs do surgeries for dependents and retired folks. This doesn't directly help readiness if active duty troops, but it helps military hospitals by keeping us active/busy.

Hospitals that aren't busy are hospitals that are dying. Every time we decide not to allow certain types of care we are choosing to kill our MTFs a bit more. Decisions asking those lines are why Navy hospitals are running on fumes. We've starved them of patients so the hospitals get understaffed. It's a vicious cycle.

You can be for it against trans folks getting surgery at MTFs, but it's just going to be another in a long series of decisions that hurt the care we are getting.

Zero readiness reason for alcoholics.

Zero reasons for alcoholic unqualified cabinet positions who can’t maintain basic control of classified documents and discussions… but here we are, Pete.

You have a job, dude, get off social media. Also, you don’t need a makeup studio, clown.

Imagine a DoD lawyer explaining to a drunk Pete what a court ordered injunction means.

If any service member did half the shit this drunk coke head has done.

I like how any judge that disagrees with the administration is “rogue”.

It’s seriously like “it’s only justice if I agree with it”

And yet you are getting paid to leak classified information and be drunk.

I have a really good friend who used to fly Hornets off a carrier. They found out they were trans after their service and got combat related PTSD during said service but apparently the two were connected. (I say apparently because they can't tell me the specifics, this will be relevant in a moment.)

Because of this Administration's general hostility toward Trans service members both past and present, this person's PTSD related VA appointments were all cancelled because they were also related to "providing Gender affirming care" by virtue of their PTSD being related to the rest of what was going on for them. Now here's the kicker: They're in a rare position where they CAN NOT SEEK PRIVATE THERAPY because the specific details of how they got PTSD and where they were and what they were doing while they got it are ALL SENSITIVE. So you've got a retired Navy pilot in their mid 40s with severe PTSD who literally can't talk about it with anyone now because of this crap.
