I've met naval E-4s with more common sense, better strategic planning ability, and commanding more actual respect than Kegbreath..

I've also met toddlers with more emotional control.

Hegseth was only O-4 at the end of his career, which was basically as a reservist, sidelined as an insider threat due to his white nationalist tattoos.

When Hegseth was an O-3, he was an instructor teaching counter-insurgency in Afghanistan. That was his entire time as O-3.

As a lieutenant, Hegseth 'commanded' a small squad stationed at Guantanamo Bay. That was his only experience in command.

i enjoy the phrase "fractally wrong". really encapsulates how hard it can be to refute someones bullshit when theres so many layers of wrong. like a flawed thesis built on the shoulders of a hundred other flawed theses so you cant even start to refute it without inadvertently endorsing some piece of it implicitly. its up there with "not even wrong" but less ambiguous.

Let's be honest, we all know he just watched the movie 300 and thought it was historically accurate...

I know people like him. They try to glean wisdom from media that was designed solely to entertain the unthinking masses in order to churn a profit. Damn fools is what they are.

Maybe they're not gay enough if he wants them to be like the Spartans

Only manly men can click on "fire tomahawk" icon.

Spartan wives had to dress as men on there wedding night so as to no scare the men with there feminine ways. They had not yet seen girl from the time they where toddlers as they where training for war.

The child molestation was disturbingly common in many cultures back then.

As for the gay. They would still typically have wives and children, but would bath each other and have sex before battle. I'd call them bi.

90% of their population were slaves and they were incredibly cruel to them. Sparta was so backwards that Athens almost sided with Persia.

Weren’t the spartinas gay child molesters?

Is it any surprise the Republicans look up to them?

Part of me wants to argue, that at the time it was normal

The other part reminds me, that we live now.

Fits right in with this admin.

Yes, those things happened there. But women could also own property in Lakonia. It was progressive in some ways, barbaric in others.

They were incredibly gay

I really like this professors demolishing of the mythos around Sparta.

Basically, Spartan society was always organized in a stupid and unsustainable way.

Haha that is hilarious. This is the problem with taking your mythology or fantasy seriously. Thankfully it's no longer the 1940s or they'd burn all books that say otherwise.
