Why did hegseth get such a raucous welcome and approval from the marines?

[PSPS]

I was surprised that such a partisan outburst from troops would be tolerated, let alone be customary.

1. Because they were handpicked

For their crayon eating prowess.

6. I don't doubt it

These events are carefully staged to give the impression that the military is all-in behind the mis-administration. These Marines are simply props, perhaps willingly.

2. Because KP duty sucks.

Cheer!

[no_hypocrisy]

3. They were told to.

4. The next Dem President

Would be fully justified to fire ALL military leadership down to the E5 level.

It will be easier to blow up military leadership and start over, than it will be to fix the harm these partisan shitshows have done to good order and discipline.

Or...,and this is just me speaking as a veteran who served 30 years in the Navy....

(Ahem) The fucking NCOs, Divo's, Dept Heads and senior leadership could START DOING THEIR FUCKING JOBS!!!!

5. Marines are about 25 - 30% minorities and (my speculation)15% White Nationalist.

Quickly scanning the crowd shots, there were about 80% blonds or European looking people in and out of uniform, ,and behind the podium, maybe 3% obvious minorities, and no females in uniform.
Service Members in uniform, especially in training, hate Dog and Pony shows. Especially BS politicians with "ideas to improve the Military" - unless it's better pay, benefits to save them money, and MWR.

7. because trump is CIC and they will do what they are told. (or they were celebrating the grindr profiles) nt

[Arazi]

8. Because they'll do as they're told (including shooting us)
