    People in here acting like Hegseth is being stupider than he is.

    This is not about Kelly. Kelly may win a lawsuit, or more likely will settle, or some terrible extrajudicial fate may befall him.

    Regardless, the message sent is crystal clear: none of the US military riff-raff can afford Kelly’s lawyers. If you are employed by the U.S. military, you either unconditionally act as Supreme Leader D.J. Trump’s personal militia in all matters up to and including shooting down peaceful protesters, or you spend the rest of your life in the brig, because the rule of law does not exist anymore.

    Hegseth knows it, the military officers know it, the SCotUS loves it, the MSM pretends otherwise. That’s the state of affairs and Hegseth is merely making it clear for the crayon eaters in the back.

    I’d love to be proven wrong, but on the short list of potential good outcomes for 2026, the U.S. military taking a stand against tyranny is nowhere in there.
