The headlines above were immediately preceded by this one.

Ask the Triple Sec of Defense

This is what happens when you illegally fired qualified personnel who happen to be women, or POC, or LGBTQ+ & replace them with MagaNazi morons.

It’s fucking bizzaro world we’re living in where the President shares untruths on truth social, the justice department serves injustice, the department of education promotes ignorance, and the health department increases disease by undermining prevention.

Where’s Vance? Oh…. THAT’s where he is….

It's almost like there are hostile Russian assets working in the White House and Pentagon. Nah, couldn't be. #QuackingDuck

Who the F takes a Blackhawk on a scenic route in one of the more congested areas (that recently had a deadly collision between a Blackhawk and plane)

How the F*@% do you lose a SECOND jet!? The incompetence is beyond parody!

I heard the defense secretary is a drunken white supremacist. We should probably start there.

Incompetence is expensive

It's Trump's military. This all seems right in line with expectations to me. I'd expect nothing more from a Trump run operation.

Is it just me or was appointing a drunken Fox News host as Secretary of Defense not such a great idea after all?

At least they're ending DEI though.

Three of them can be explained by the same thing: we’re effectively at war with the Houthis who are apparently much more capable than the Navy was prepared for.

Flip the script… They fired the merit-based hires and kept the DEI hires and that’s why domestic air travel is a disaster and why military planes are driving off aircraft carriers…

Maybe putting an alcoholic part-time inexperienced staff officer in charge of largest organization in the world wasn't so bright

Ya think maybe there might be some operational security leaks?

One of these were commuter jets being overly cautious when a Helo was where it was supposed to be due to recent events. One of them was (according to initial reports) a byproduct of landing on a carrier and relying on a cable to stop you. Sometimes the cable breaks.

Are we the only people who recall when the head of the DOD was a dignified, adult capable of eloquent calm when address the American public ? And even then we hardly ever saw him on a regular basis due to the fact he was engrossed in National Security. How safe well felt in those capabilities.

Are the losses unusual or that there's reporting of the losses?

This is the same carrier group they are itching to hit Iran with ? Hope the sailors’ spouses took our life insurance bc they are about to get PAID 😂😂😂

But I thought having war soldiers was going to make us unstoppable?

Pete Hegseth is drunk, that’s the problem.

Anyone have a tally on the taxpayer money lost? I bet it's more than doge claims they found.

It's called "Pete Hegseth" 😕

Looks like DOGE is going to have to cut deeper than expected to offset enough and make massive billionaire tax cuts plausible.

What have we heard from kegsbreath? 🦗🦗🦗 maybe once he sobers up he’ll address this. I’m kidding, he won’t

DoD is now the department of drunken 😂

Selling our technology in an inconspicuous way 🧑🏿‍🦯‍➡️

Whether these are coincidental or not the Kenseth bro culture encourages reckless bravado instead of considered judgment.

Hmmm... What could be wrong at the DoD? They removed all the DEI hires so only have the poorly qualified old white men in charge? And they are being led by an unqualified racist drunk...

Can't blame ol' Whiskey Leaks Pete. He's far too busy showing everyone what a glamorous social media putz he is instead of being a real Secretary of Defense.

Shameful and terrifying. That is what happens when you have a drunken, frat boy, white supremacist, transphobic, sexual offender, stolen valor chump leading the DOD.

This almost seems... intentional.

"To lose one $60 million jet, Mr. Hegseth, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

This is what incompetence looks like

Tut-Tut…too many trans people in the military; very soon aircraft carriers will be able to hold on to the aircraft they carry.

Hegseth using social media again?

REPOSTED

What do we expect when it’s being run by Petey kegsbreath 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 if you go down to the bar, you’ll find him

Pete Hegseth will do some pushups and we'll be good to go

How are the pilots feeling about this?

Heckuva job, Petey

Could it be the alleged alcoholic running it?

I am shocked, shocked! Who could have predicted this chaos when a drunk was made Sec Def!?

Fraud, waste and abuse of the system

The aircraft carriers probably got water on their magnets.

All the better to give over as much of that $1T a year to Palantir and friends as possible, duh. Gotta get that Golden Dome gravy train kickstarted!

And Hegseth decrees that the issue is all those unnecessary 4-star generals and the overabundance of Pentagon staff.

Still using Signal over at SecDef?

It was supposed to be the russians losing stuff underwater. What the hell is going on here?

Yeah but what if Republicans don’t care AND the Corporate Media is not declaring this a major crisis?

These headlines could be from Hot Shots.

Hmmmm could it be the drunk in charge of DoD??

Yeah... the problem is Hegseth 🤨

Thanks, Pete. Are we done yet?

Hegseth is the best and firing the most experienced officers in each branch of the military is a great policy.

Weird......has there been some leadership changes recently in the DOD?

They’re disarming us, it’s not just incompetence.

Let the pansy accountants worry about all that! We’re warfighters! *smirk*

We just need to find out who took delivery on two Navy jets and 7 reaper drones.

yes, it's called Kegstand, that is what the problem is.

And there's the whole "letting Russia regulate themselves" thing: connected?

I guess when the top dawg is a drunken lunatic it encourages misbehaviour among the lower ranks?

Hegseth fired a lot of key people. Also, Hegseth is incompetent.

Our military is doing Putin's work for him.

Yes, Russian assents have infiltrated the military and are now committing acts of sabotage, from the very top of the department.

But they all look so good on TV.

The problem will be gone after the parade.

How do you lose jets at sea?

But don't fear, our fearless SecDef is at SOF Week talking about his workouts

Time for another Signal chat???

Thanks too the DRUNKING MOTHER FVCKER PETE HEGSETH

Finally some good news

👀

Truly terrible. We need new leadership NOW! Can we vote on no confidence? Probably not but would be effective.

Whiskey Pete is incompetent to do his job.

Pete H was never quified

What the hell.

This is actually really great. I hope they continue to fuck up immensely

No, The problem stems from whoever is recording these incidents. We prefer the Covid strategy. If you fail to record something, it never happens. We could prosecute this war for years that way and never suffer a single casualty. Perception is reality and creating perceptions is what our brand does.

Um @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov what the hell is going on?!? Anyone going to investigate or even suggest investigations?

Sisko lost fewer runabouts than the US has lost military equipment, since Trump took over. Sisko was in command for 7 YEARS ... Trump has been in command for *counts* 106 days.

Jets are just falling into the sea?

It can’t be coincidence, can it⁉️🤭

Hope someone can talk our gangster-in-chief into replacing Hegseth. The chaos Hegseth's created is a huge problem even though he's not directly involved (I hope, though looking at scenery sounds like him). Morale at defense must be at an all time low. 😟

There sure is!

So much winning

They’ve lost about as much money as Donnie two dolls spends on golf trips

And its names are Trump and Hegseth

is it that it’s run by a drunkard tv host?

I hadn't seen the second jet from the same carrier lost at sea!!

close your eyes, tap your heals together 3 times, and say 'war fighters, war fighters, war fighters'
