You're In The Army Now

 

Since Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made his speech to the first-ever gathering of generals, admirals, and high ranking enlisted personnel three days ago, the internet in general and TikTok in particular have blown up.  I wish I could say that most of it is positive, but it's not.  Sure, you're going to find some people who support what the Secretary had to say - like me - but for the most part all you're going to see are one of three things - libtards who have never served complaining about what he said, libtards who are currently serving complaining about what he said, and libtards who are just looking for something else to complain about concerning the Trump administration.  I can sum up my feelings on these three groups very easily and in very few words, and here they are.

For the first and last groups - shut the fuck up.  You've never served so you have NO IDEA what the fuck you're talking about.

For the second group - shut the fuck up.  One of the things you give up when you put on the uniform is the freedom to voice your opinions in a public forum about things going on in the military.  You willingly signed this freedom away when you signed your enlistment papers and took the oath, so you have no legal or moral right to publicly criticize ANYONE in your chain of command, no matter who it is.  There's a process set up for this called the Inspector General Program, so I suggest you use it.  And if you think that you won't get any satisfaction from it, let me remind you that the IG program is one of the programs that the Secretary said he was going to overhaul to make it more effective.  So use what's available to you; if you choose not to, then shut the fuck up.

For those of you who have already blasted your opinion in a public forum (such as the black female US Army staff sergeant on TikTok), you have violated at least two articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which means you have opened yourself up to legal action being taken against you.  And should your command decide to prosecute, you'll deserve whatever you get.  You knowingly and intentionally with malice aforethought said things in a public forum to bring discredit upon your service and yourself, and you deserve to be punished.  So shut the fuck up and take what's coming to you.

And if you don't like what the Secretary is doing, then I strongly suggest that when your enlistment is over, you get the fuck out of the military and go work for Starbucks.  

But in the mean time, just shut the fuck up.
