Hey, for those who’re a Nationwide Guard soldier stationed in Chicago and ethically disagree with it, simply hit up the town’s scrumptious Italian beef, sizzling canine and pizza stands as usually as doable.
Over the weekend, Activity & Objective — a information web site targeted on the U.S. navy neighborhood — reported that the Texas Army Division changed “a small group” of Nationwide Guard members despatched to Illinois this previous week for not assembly Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth’s new health requirements.
Late final month, Hegseth and Trump gathered each prime U.S. basic and admiral from all over the world in Virginia to primarily declare that they didn’t need any fats folks within the navy anymore.
Activity & Objective famous that the choice appears to have been made after a Reddit submit riddled with fatphobic jokes brutally mocked a handful of Texas troopers deployed to Chicago who have been featured in a photograph shot by the Related Press.
Hegseth was so thrilled concerning the removing of those troopers that he tweeted Take & Pressure’s article Monday, together with a reasonably braggy caption:
“Standards are back at The @DeptofWar,” he wrote, referring to his personal division that President Donald Trump needs to rename the Division of Warfare for some asinine fear-mongering causes.
And though some X customers had some fairly stable retorts to Hegseth’s submit, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s workplace might have had one of the best.
Retweeting Hegseth’s submit, Newsom included a video montage that options the protection secretary proving that he may not meet his personal bodily health requirements. It begins with Hegseth failing to do a whole pull-up, then reveals him chucking an axe approach — approach — over its supposed goal. Then he kicks a skateboard proper into his nuts.
This wasn’t the primary time Newsom’s workplace identified how hypocritical Hegseth and Trump sounded once they belittled navy members for not bodily resembling Ninja Turtles. Shortly after the September bitchfest about navy health, Newsom’s workplace re-tweeted a video of Hegseth saying the next to navy leaders:
“Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations — or really, any formation — and see fat troops,” Hegseth griped. “Likewise, it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading commands around the country and the world. It’s a bad look.”
Newsom then added a really unflattering picture of Trump and wrote the caption:
“I guess the Commander in Chief needs to go!”
