US defense head is eager to frame operation as a success – and slam journalists for not portraying it in a positive light
Pete Hegseth on Friday again claimed the US military campaign against Iran has been an unprecedented success, using a Pentagon press conference to accuse journalists of downplaying Washington’s supposed gains on the battlefield.
Speaking alongside the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, the US defense secretary claimed Iran had been left without a functioning air force, navy or missile defense network after 13 days of strikes, and said the combined US-Israeli air campaign had hit more than 15,000 targets since the war began.
“The United States is decimating the radical Iranian regime’s military in a way the world has never seen before,” Hegseth told reporters.
Praise be the alt text
A success at …what? No goal was ever provided. He caused a lot of damage, killed a lot of people. Iranian conservative religious government (as well as USA’s) is still in power. Iranian nuclear capability (so far, none) hasn’t changed.
And a lot of us are still demanding release of ALL unredacted Trump-Epstein Files.
Success at distracting from the Epstein files
also from the shutdown right now, which MSM isnt talking about due to iran war.
Only corp-owned media. I still see a lot of people talking about the Epstein files and how this war is meant to distract from them.
This dude was literally a talking head on Fox News.
There’s no way there isn’t hours of footage of him being negative about literally everything Obama and Biden did.
This is exactly what I was thinking.
Positive about killing kids? In what twisted world? USA is sick bro.
I’m by no means a religious person but if the Pope told me the antichrist exists in Trump and his buddies, I’d believe it
Unfair comparison, Zapp Brannigan is at least charming in his assholeness. Kegseth sets off my fight or fight instincts.
Oh my god.
I can’t unsee this now.
ZAPP is at least more competant than hesgeth when it really matters(defending earth from a major attack), pete is incompetent 100% of the time.
What a clown
“US Defence head…”
But they changed it to the Department of War, so that should read “US War head…”There should be a Department of dictatorship.
Then we would have a Dick head.
You show me a dictatorship and I’ll show you a boat filled with penis-shaped potatoes.
Not officially
Fuck you, Pete. Fuck you, you piece of shit. Fuck you, you child-murderer.
You are the absolute, most bottom, horrible, disgusting, sub-human, terrible monster.
Hell is too good for you.
and said the combined US-Israeli air campaign had hit more than 15,000 targets since the war began.
How many of those targets were schools, hospitals, cultural heritage sites, bazaars, cafes, and/or residential districts?
They’re just calling where the bomb landed a target
Yeah, how about we all be a little more positive about the great war he started. Enjoy it a little bit, goddamn!
Right? How ungrateful we are acting, my oh my. We really should be quite ashamed of ourselves shouldn’t we? F my A! Are you kidding me? If he gaslit any harder, his slimy hair combined with his permanent BAC would probably ignite a chemical fire.
This guy wants a “Warrior Ethos” in the armed forces.
Not a military, whose members serve the civil populace and hopefully eventually return to that populace, get help reintegrating and contributing their perspective and experience to the discourse about war. He wants the civilians to call for blood and the
soldierswarriors to eagerly shed it.Major Boozeth is a great example of the type of person that should not be allowed to represent the civil side of civil-military relationship.
hes the epitome of failing upwards, i heard when he was still in the forces, his own command deemed him a threat and moved him into a role that dint threaten mission/deployment situations, like pencil pushing desk jockey role.
Cocaine Kegsbreath
Cause we’re strong enough, we’re winnest enough and goshdarn it people should fear me!
Fucking pathetic Pete. You’re just fucking pathetic.
Those suit coats make him look like a used car salesman
Used car salesmen have more integrity
hes a foxs friend weekend host, not even good one lol. Hes is “FOX’s seat warmer on the weekends” unlike “tucker, INGHRAM, or even watters ont he weekdays which is primetime tv”, basically fox’s DEI hire.
If one is in support of old party politics around this administration, how is that any different? Seems like the right uniform to wear, all things considered.
:: slaps roof of pentagon :: You can fit so many grifts and distractions in this baby.
Mind of a child psychopath, the kind you would find on the Xbox Live Call of Duty servers shouting the N-word over everyone else while they were trying to just play. He thinks this is all really awesome and cool.
