  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Drill instructors, Hegseth said, would be empowered “to instill healthy fear in new recruits.”

Uh-huh. Sure. Was that before or after he'd wander the stage?

If only Biden had weekly cognitive tests like the other guy.

What exactly are you arguing? I was talking about what turned around these recruitment stats - a turnaround that preceded Trump.

There was nothing that preceded Trump. Trump is the beginning and the end, Trump is all.

They want Full Metal Jacket boot camp. These guys love fictional depictions of "strength" and masculinity.
I think they would prefer Jarhead bootcamp.

Military members always talk about the importance of their teams. They care for their buddies as they do themselves (a concept Trump and Hegseth have apparently never felt or experienced.)

China is patrolling its borders with humanoid robots. We should have military members who are fully human, whose colleagues are family, who work together for God and country and, sadly, for an embarrassingly incompetent commander in chief.

And still do - with concepts of e spirit de corps placed in them by Drill Sargent's and Instructor
s. We are sending warriors out, not counselors. The only part of your reply that is on topic - by the way.
(a concept Trump and Hegseth have apparently never felt or experienced.)
Trump? A man who has built teams in 350 different Corporations, one of the most effective and cohesive cabinets in history?

Hegseth? the Decorated Marin officer - surely you jest.

You know who doesn't consider the Commander in Chief embarrassing? The warriors under his command - recruitment is at an all time high -the Commander in Chief who made sure they got paid during the Schumer shutdown; the Commander in Chief who made sure they all got Christmas bonuses of 1,776.00 - the Commander in Chief who get standing ovations at the Army/Navy Game - the Commander in Chief who helped change the ROE's for certain combat scenario's. The Commander in Chief that increased the financial resources for the military - the Commander in Chief that founded the first new branch of the military in almost 200 years.

You are incorrect. I know for a fact that President Trump has far more support from the military servicemen than Biden ever had. We are very proud of our commander in chief.

"We", is that a you are actively serving and in the fight "we" or more of a royal "we"?
I have stated dozens of times that I am actively serving in the US military.

That he is embarrassingly incompetent is a fact. That may not be shared by a majority of the military. Perhaps Hegseth is employing brainwashing as well.

Your opinion about my commander in chief and my secretary of Defense is absolutely 100% incorrect.
