one thing I've become very convinced of is the need for the civil service to do waaayyyy more propaganda. like you should know about how NOAA makes the weather app on your phone work. you should know that Uncle Sam runs GPS. you should know how impressive the US census data collection effort is, etc

This is how many in the service feel, from my anecdata (totally non-scientific). I’ve had several conversations about this already. They’re not prepared to sacrifice their honor for their careers - let alone for someone else’s huge ego and hate-fueled obsessions.

There’s no point fact checking people to whom reason need not apply, but
1. None of them were US Army generals
2. Lee was an engineer in Mexico and did not command. Bragg commanded a battery. Hill and Pickett did not command in Mexico. None of the rest were there.
3. None of them advised in 1898

Wildly unqualified man promises to enforce standards
Hegseth: "Yes, women will have access to ground combat roles -- *given* the standards remain high. And we'll have a review to ensure the standards have not been eroded in any one of those cases. That'll be part of one of the first things we do at the Pentagon."
