The United States Secretary of Defense (aka, Major Pete) is either (a) openly celebrating Nazis and planning to destroy the US government from within or (b) a punk-assed internet troll trying to look tough to offset his gross deficiencies. Neither is good.
@SeanCasten Eh, he was probly drunk when he wrote that.

@SeanCasten I vaguely remember as part of this story that that those who didn't swear allegiance ended up dead... But the Night of the Long Knives was in 1934, not 1935...

@SeanCasten Given that Hegseth is a member of a "religious" movement, Dominionism, that has been actively working to subvert the military in order to establish a theocracy for decades, it's (a).
@SeanCasten let’s not forget Stalin’s “the great purge” in 1937-38 that eliminated many experienced officers. It almost cost Russia WW2.
@SeanCasten I think he’s trying to be edgy
@SeanCasten I would dearly love to see one of the senior officers at this gathering fold Pete Hegseth into a pretzel after PH threatens him with some bullshit about loyalty to Corporal Bone Spurs 😇
@jimthewhyguy @SeanCasten Me too.
Or possibly all or most of them straightened that soft little drunk out.
@RiaResists @SeanCasten Yeah, so much better than a UFC cage match on the WH lawn 😈
@jimthewhyguy @SeanCasten And something I would watch over & over 😊
@RiaResists @SeanCasten Imagining one of the generals helping Hegseth to remove his Deus Vult chest tattoo ... with 80-grit sandpaper and mild hydrochloric acid. 😈

@SeanCasten The proper answer at such an assembly is to arrest the traitors staging the coup. That's a legitimate way to keep their jobs.

Their present oath literally requires it.

@SeanCasten

Fuck this wife beater …

@SeanCasten shouldn't he have to request permission to speak freely or at least include the 🫡 in his tweet or something?
