“Former United States Army Europe commander Ben Hodges criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for claiming that only a few NATO allies participated in the kinetic operations in Afghanistan. Hegseth made the remarks while speaking to ROTC cadets and military recruits, and Hodges criticized the move.” - McGill Media

A meme with a photo of Pete Hegseth next to a photo of Ben Hodges in dress blue uniform late in his U.S. Army career. 

Hegseth on allied operations in Afghanistan: In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."


Ben Hodges: Shameful. Over a thousand Allied Soldiers were killed in Afghanistan fighting alongside US Soldiers and Marines. Why would the Secretary think it was appropriate to disparage our Allies in front of these young Cadets, future Officers?

I sense heavy sarcasm of the pissed off variety here.

Very happy to know that my Abandoned America trademark has been coopted by not one but two different AI slop "creators", both based out of Europe to circumvent my legal protections. I love this new world we live in.

The evening’s “live” selection on deck: I had no idea there was a connection between Springsteen and Bowie; that Springsteen was able to sit in on some of recording sessions for Bowie’s “Young Americans” album is pretty cool. And yes, the guitar riff, I believe, is one of the greatest of all time rock and roll-wise.

Donald Trump and his MAGA movement have spent nearly two years treating the United States like their personal wrecking yard, drowning the world’s strongest economy in a bathtub while gleefully attacking civil liberties.
Now, “the bill is coming due,” and the rats in MAGAland are desperate to skip out on the debt they owe. - Samuel Wynn Warde

My guess is his career in pro football is over; I’ve had three DVTs, two in one leg and one in the other that essentially ended my time in the Army National Guard after 21 1/2 years. Fortunately, my clots didn’t end up in my lungs but I’ve been on Warfarin since then and will be for the rest of my life. If he’s smart, he’ll get out of the football-playing thing. I’m sure someone can use another “talking head” on a pre-game or post-game show.
