I get his point, and it may have been appropriate to the question, but I still don’t like the bluster.

I’d prefer the “talk softly / big stick” approach.

Got a feeling this dude is gonna piss off a lot of pentagon folks this month.

The rot within our military is well documented and getting him confirmed is a big deal for the agenda.

You have to let people know you have a big stick, though.

He's just reiterating the truth about war. The most humane war is the most violent, swift, and decisive one.

Prolonged wars like Iraq and Afghanistan only cause further human suffering on both sides.

Seems a long time ago we had a CJCS say "first were going to cut its head off, then we're going to kill it."

We could probably remove a third of the people in the Pentagon and improve the capability of the military at the same time.

After obama ran off most of the old Patriots and replaced them with political hacks, I would say probably 80% + need to be removed.

Im thinking you didnt watch a second of the video.

Pete said "We dont want to fight wars. We want to deter them...."



Hes got the right approach.

That's essentially what he said.

We don't want war, but if we go, we're ending it quick.

I'm fine with the message.

For Ole Army, that’s the least aggy thing to say. Need more arrogance and bravado to be a real ag.
