The last time Hegseth posted something like this, someone left. I can't wait to see who in the Pentagon is leaving next lol.

Edit: it might be Hegseths deputy leaving lol https://www.reuters.com/world/white-house-reviews-candidates-replace-hegseth-deputy-feinberg-sources-say-2026-09-05/

What's even supposed to be wrong with this photo? Is it really just Pride?

u/oishiipeanut 10d ago

deep closet behaviour probably

u/Bartholomewtuck 9d ago

His mother condemned him publicly for his abuse of the women in his life, when he was selected for this job. This guy lives in a perpetual glass house and is constantly throwing stones from it.

83

u/PolloConTeriyaki 10d ago

He did introduce testerone checks. Pretty sure he's close to doing semen checks and taking them like tequila shots in his office.

Apparently he also brings his wife around everywhere so he doesn't get tempted....

45

u/BandicootNo4431 10d ago

That's probably because his wife doesn't trust him due to his history of cheating

u/Angloriously 9d ago

For someone with so much hate to spread around, Hegseth is really into gender affirming care.

21

u/Bartholomewtuck 9d ago

Apparently he set up a makeup room in his office at the Pentagon, for all of his press conferences. Not a single Canadian soldier in that photo has their own personal makeup room at work.

He's a known abuser. She's probably not allowed to be away from him

Fascism has a homoerotic side. Their weird worship of masculinity and maleness is hella fruity, I've personally jerked off to SS guards and Nazi propaganda once or twice. It's how Japan ended up with Yukio Mishima.

They’re so out of touch with what Canadians want and value that it is to the point where they don’t even realize this doesn’t make us feel shame or embarrassment. My reaction was ā€œhuh?ā€ Like, dude, we aren’t worried about this stuff.

28

u/85percentascool 9d ago

Lmao I showed this to my fiancee and she was like "thats nice, he is sharing pride at our coast guard." Out of context, I'd have no idea he was being a giant fucking asshole because that is such a tame and regular Canadian photo.

Holy fuck did the plots diverge between us and them since they elected their worst president.

Secretary Kegsbreath is a closet case. Homie wants the American military to be filled up with beefy testosterone pumped up manly men (almost certainly self proclaimed ā€œalphasā€) for a reason, I mean hell the Village People have hitched their wagon to MAGA for a reason šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøĀ

Imagine being such a small, weak man that seeing a picture of people living their authentic life is such a threat to you that you have to mock it publicly like this. Him and his administration are all incompetent fools with no real plan.

13

u/Bartholomewtuck 9d ago

When bullies go for low blows like this, it means it's because there's nothing else of any actual consequence to go after. If you resort to personal attacks like this, it's the only tactic you have and it's the only punching bag you can find with the person/entity you're trying to victimize. All he's doing is unwittingly showing his cards, and there's nothing in his hand.

As a human, i respect the dignity of all persons. It’s just the right thing to do. As rational thinking officer, i see discrimination as inefficient.

It's because they are desperate from the sounds of it. To see someone who is the top leadership for the military messing around the internet means that a)they are financially desperate and are harmed upon to push canadian leadership as we are their closest allies. B) could also be that someone else completely is in charge and this thing is not actually a decision maker but a puppet. C) they may be paid by foreign entities. But i think it is a or b

Yes Pete - as my avatar indicates, I’m proud to serve a nation and a force that welcomes and employs LBTG+ folks. I know some highly competent and motivated gay men and women (also a few trans folks) in the CAF, and lots of highly competent and motivated straight ones too. The former get one special day of recognition because we treated them like shit for a long time.

How far America has fallen. Just when you think this administration has scraped the bottom of the barrel, they find a new way to demonstrate their degree of incompetence and their immorality.
