A quote that speaks volumes about the top 2 of our military leadership.
From Phillip P Obrien
If you listened closely to Hegseth and Trump, they were basically saying the US military should be more like the Russian military -- unaccountable for its actions, using lethality instead of intelligence, and where training can be used to abuse recruits. And if they do that, I can guarantee you it will be as effective as the Russian military.
