Guarantee his promotions and such will be “mysteriously” denied, and any subjective performance reviews will similarly “mysteriously” state he’s just not quite meeting expectations any more.

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal to Army Specialist Thomas Iglesias, the sentinel who loudly reprimanded Hegseth and his entourage for laughing and talking at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Veterans Day events.”
Without confirming it myself, that immediately signals to me that they’re gonna start doing outrage moments and then flipping the outrage into micro wins.
Edit: 1000x more than they already fucking do. I hope all these bastards taste nothing but napalm when they rot in hell, truthfully.
The entire way we treat our armed servicemen is quite literally all a way to subjugate them into being docile little bitches for their managers, which is why we were easily couped by the most idiotic Russian leader of all time
The sad thing is, the medal could either be cover for mysteriously denying the soldier promotions, could be given out of genuine respect for the soldier showing Kegsbreath that his idea of “manly men” still exists in this world, or a sign of defeat from Kegsbreath.
I like Mbin, though I’m still figuring out parts of it. It’s a sort weird hybrid of Mastodon and Lemmy and I’m not quite sure how the boosting and mentioning stuff works—that is, how they function. Do people need to follow me to see my boosts? Why does it @ people when I reply to them? Do I need to keep those for the OC to see my reply? But 🤷
Afaik boosts either count as an upvote or are ignored, and you can remove the @ and it should still display correctly in Lemmy, although I’m not sure if that would influence how other mbin users see it
Imagine having the time/place/authority align to yell at the SecDef without consequence… Or with, I guess we’ll see, but I love it regardless.
Edit: HEGSETH AWARDED HIM A MEDAL

Not much Hegseth can do to him in his time remaining.
🤞
To be honest, I’ve learned better of hoping for things to go the predictable, sane way in this administration.
The minute we’re sure the bad thing won’t happen, something worse will.
Hmm, never seen a Swan wear blue.
No idea what that means.
Because cops are usually pigs.
The sheer hatred pouring out of this man’s eyes at hegseth as he’s being given the medal is invigorating.
He knows what’s coming and did it anyway. If the next president is a sane one, they’d better give this motherfucker a medal.

Phew. I guess ol’ Pete came to his senses after he slept it off, eh?
That is bloody nuts. They are good at PR, but as soon as the cameras are off…he is going to be suddenly very busy for very little gain.
His leadership could give him a medal now. As long as they keep it on the low end, which is all this deserves anyways.
Hegseth gave Army Specialist Thomas Iglesias the Joint Service Commendation Medal today.
He will be punished, likely solitary confinement for a year or two
Hegseth just gave him a medal 🤣

The tomb has been guarded continuously since 1948, even during rain and snow. I know it’s an honor to guard it, but to me that seems like punishment.
It’s more than a mere honor. Look up some videos about how those guards live and train. It’s a big deal to be chosen for that role.

Not this guy though…
No good deed unpunished
Soon enough NO deed will go unpubished, yayyyy orwellian society. That will prove the libs wrong if everyone’s dead or in jail!!!

While Hegseth seems a piece of trash human in general, that’s at least genuinely a good move.
There’s nothing genuine about it, it’s purely saving face and trying to avoid doing the only thing he understands, escalation.
Has nothing to do with being targeted for impeachment or anything, just Hegseth doing a genuinely good thing.
Give me a fucking break.

Hahahahah, you don’t need to “@” people you’ve replied directly to.
He’s genuinely a piece of shit. This was a nice surprise though
Welcome to the fediverse, that’s a mbin user. It’s just the default behaviour of their client.

@Hatchepsut@piefed.social @zoloftt@lemmy.world Yup, that’s what’s happening here!

I’ve heard of it and never looked into it. Might have to give it a try!
Ah, I’ve been a Lemmy user for a bit now and haven’t seen that.
He got a medal
