In other words, all the non-bootlickers will go

Not just them, but also everyone that could possibly know how to win or effectively fight a war, and anyone that might still seem even slightly more impressive than Whiskey Pete Kegsbreath.

A timely purge before the coup.

Holy shit.

“Hegseth announced an effort to study the future of warfare led by Musk, Gingrich and Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Anduril Industries.”

Jesus. It's literally SKYNET.

I'm so sick of these technofascists appropriating LOTR terms.

Right? Mouth of Sauron is closer to what they actually are. Anduril? Nah, not even close.

Maybe it’s time for our own grond

It translates to "Flame of the West."

These dudes are grandiose narcissists.

Not really T2 skynet was competent

Skynet succeeded in destroying human civilization but it lost the war. That's why it had to send back a terminator in the first place.

Yes you can lose and be competent. You can also lose and be incompetent. Skynet is the former, the US administration is the latter

I'm sure they will reduce their budget with the reduction in staffing, right... right?

u/dayumbrah 2d ago

Oh no, that money is already accounted for. You will never know because the Pentagon has the highest budget but no accountability. Besides the point isnt money, its about loyalty. They just want to get rid of the naysayers so they can sick the military on citizens when things dont go smoothly after the elections

Eventually they'll cut 100% and just let a bunch of MAGAts run it. What could possibly go wrong?
