Trump calls for using US cities as a 'training ground' for military in unusual speech to generals
apnews.com
President Donald Trump is proposing using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces. He's suggesting U.S. military might be deployed against what he describes as the “invasion from within.”

Looks like that mysterious meeting where Hegseth called in a bunch of generals was to tell them to stop being so woke.

Also Hegseth apparently wants to relax restrictions on hazing and harassment. Hey I’ve got an idea. The military continues to fail its recruitment quotas, let’s raise the physical requirements and foster a more toxic work environment. Hopefully this will result in a more dysfunctional US military and fewer war crimes in the name of imperialism

Death to America

    All this hatred of “wokeness”

    What is with the hatred for manners? Like why is there such a strong revolt against being a nice guy?

    You could say I’m asking: What happened to civility?

      These chuds hate civility because it requires them to actually consider other people around them instead of being able to say or do whatever racist or ridiculous thing that pops into their little crank shacks without consequence to themselves. It’s just liberalism coming to its inevitable conclusion.

      They like to rally against wokeness because it’s ill-defined and nebulous and yet every single chud seems to know what it refers to. It can be anything. I’m remembering the other week when asked what prompted Trump to return the DoD’s name to the Department of War, he claimed the military “went woke” after WW2.

      Chuds use the term woke how libs use the term authoritarian. It means bad thing.

      There was a pretty strong reaction against marriage equality/trans acceptance in the u.s. The whole Alpha Male shit started then and only grew more and more toxic as time went on. amerikan/western masculinity was never great but got much worse when marriage equality happened. Add in the fact that people never really recovered from 2008 and thats only getting worse, you got a recipe for classic fascism. The weirmar republic was tolerant , had a vibrant LGBTQ scene, the sexual Institute (that the nazis burned all the books) etc etc and then came the extreme reaction. Capital and the cishet nuclear family are inseparable it seems.
