Listen, we just don't need chicks and colored people leading our military. They're just not as good at it as white guys. Evidence: Duke, Flint, Gung Ho... all white. 😐 Via the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u... cc @dpounder.bsky.social @fergdawg.bsky.social

The incompetence and lack of any type of coordinated strategy just continues to reveal itself every day. It's tragic. 🤡 And Pete's comments are exactly what happens when you tell AI to make this sound stronger: "Me drop bombs and make big explosion. Other side hurts."
