Pete, couldn't have this been a Signal group chat?
By Jon Bauer / Herald Opinion Editor
Last week, media outlets were certain something big was coming with a cryptic announcement that Secretary of Defense (sorry) War Pete Hegseth was calling some 800 military generals and admirals from around the globe to an all-hands meeting at the Marine base in Quantico, Va. Rather than the mass firings of brass that some anticipated, Hegseth laid out a new dress code, declaring no quarter for fat generals or admirals in the Pentagon and no “beardos.”
Had we realized that obesity and beards were’t disqualifying until just now, we would have tried harder when we took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test in high school.
In other missed opportunities this week:
Here’s another acronym for you, Pete; SNAFU: During the same speech, which must have sounded rousing in Hegseth’s head, the War Monger (sorry) Secretary warned foreign countries against testing the Pentagon’s new “warrior ethos.” Thundered Hegseth: ““In other words, to our enemies, FAFO. If necessary, our troops can translate that for you.”
