The best, most succinct description of the genesis of this gathering: "It was a cheap imitation of Tony Soprano if the fictional New Jersey mob boss had been a complete idiot."

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

Weak. Weird. Authoritarian. Creepy. Incompetent. Unconstitutional.

He compares the practice to the masked terror of the Klu Klux Klan, which @sifill.bsky.social has written about.
