And there won't be, at least by me for three reasons.

1. It is irrelevant and rhetorical.

2. It is easily answered by anyone with a modicum of knowledge. DOD drones, the military application ones, are flown by two organizations. The Air Force and the CIA. If it's an AF drone flown by an officer, which is the norm, they are held to the same physical standard as other officers. If it's CIA, anyone's guess.

3. You seem to be under some impression that you can direct others to get answers for you. You have no such power or influence, certainly not over me.

Dumb question not worthy of response. Do your own work and figure it out.

So Hegseth is an idiot, then, correct? 

 

Why is he blaming military for "not winning wars" since WW2? 

 

Pathetic

He wouldn't have been my choice, but......

 

The previous SECDEF, through the absolutely senseless Biden Admin refused the Carrier Task Force Commanders who pleaded to allow them to get offensive against the Houthis.

Instead, they sailed around the Red Sea and Persian Gulf defending themselves and commercial shipping absorbing countless attacks that could have bee stopped, (as they almost all have now), at unbelievable and unjustifiable cost to the US taxpayer.

If that was directed from above, as it undoubtedly was, he should have resigned.

When he disappeared in Puerto Rico he should have been relieved.

And those are the ones that made it.

Biden's FAA appointee was so clueless he couldn't make it through Senate hearings, demonstrating such ignorance that even the Dems on that committee abandoned him.

Another gem was a State Dept appointee to a high position who stated she was in favor of a "two state solution," in Israel.

When asked over and over what that would look like, she had absolutely no clue.

Any secdef who allowed this crap is automatically less qualified than just about anyone else.

Not upset, I just think it was dumb.  If you want to pull them all together, have a good reason.  IMO, this wasn't one.  Thank you for asking though.  

 

 

 

How do you know what the real reasons are for doing it?

How these people weren’t immediately discharged is a mystery and a disgrace.

By "real" do you mean the actual footage of the speeches we saw given in front of the officers?  Or, by "real" do you mean some implied reason that Trump and Heggy wanted to get everyone in a room together?  If it's the latter, then we could talk all day.  If it's the former then it appeared pretty clear.

The title says it all.

You really think they all gathered together just for those two speeches?

Well,

 

 

Do you think that there is any confusion amongst those called in as to what is expected out of them in the future now ??

 

 

Seems like a good way to get the military on the same page.

 

 

 Sometimes zoom meetings and policy releases aren't enough.

It's a good way to pi$$ people off and degrade morale.

Your morale for sure. Hang in there. There are many bigger problems to be outraged about.

Seems everyone thinks this is all about 2 speeches and nothing more...

 

Seems everyone's minds have been dulled by the mindless left vs right debates about petty nonsense...
