    For context: the cadet program isn’t run by the main forces that see any live combat. Contrarily, it’s run by a sub branch of the reserves - the Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC). CIC members are considered part of the military, but they aren’t trained for any form of combat; their focus is an after-school youth program for high schoolers

    EDIT: additional note - The Air Cadet program / Royal Canadian Air Cadets is equivalent to the US’s Civil Air Patrol

    what dignity? it’s fucking Pete Hegseth. The man is literally every Disney highschool bully stereotype wrapped in the body of an insecure manosphere grifter.

    There is no better representation of an incredibly weak man trying to bully others into thinking he’s strong. That’s his whole schtick. So I ask again, what fucking dignity?

    The Pentagon has said the post by Hegseth “speaks for itself”.

    Yes, yes it does. But not in the way they are framing it. In reality, this is a massive embarrassment to the Pentagon, and to America.

      You’re thinking of Kash Patel. This other guy pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on DOD time.

      Edit: Neither should be confused with the guy who pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on SCOTUS time.

      Trump really has a type.
