        This is intended for release to the public, and presumably the military rank & file, so the pressure is on Hegseth to deliver a compelling performance demonstrating his incomparable leadership.

        So he’ll be up there doing his best Hitler imitation, posing and emoting like a political rock star tearing off a blistering guitar solo, hoping his incendiary rhetoric inflames the Generals in the audience to patriotic fervor.

        Instead, they don’t react to anything, don’t applaud, and just file our silently.

        Go ahead, release that propaganda video, Skippy.

        Doing this would require just a minimal amount of courage.

        Even still, I think we all know nothing of the sort will happen. They will cheer, they will lick his boots, they will say it was a valuable experience and they love daddy trump unconditionally… and then go back to violating posse comitatus.
