Okay "no longer the weak department", how is Iran thingy going for ya

What is a beardo? A man with a beard? I thought they wanted the tough manly guys? Hä?
How long til he includes no black or gay folks, no women, no libs, and no one with a college degree?
Wonder when jackboots are being added to the uniform.
okay. he is a weirdo and a radical, so he is leaving? doubt it, but that would be the logical next step.
Bro got his entire education of Vietnam from 80's B movies and didn't even watch First Blood
What a great idea Pete. It's a good job that no future war will ever involve computers, electronics or creative problem solving.

Warriors like Hegseth?
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Brilliant. Make get shot at for protecting the interest of demented pedo billionaires even less attractive as an occupational option. Superb recruiting Pete!
I’m sure the recruitment numbers are doing great with that kind of leadership.
Sadly the economy they enshitified into an affordability crisis are driving recruitment. All the branches are meeting their quotas.
This despite the conditions on the Lincoln. This despite that Hegseth is denying advancement to non-white, non-male non-MAGA officers.
Didn't Iran just kick his warrior ass? Do we not have to personally and sincerely apologize to the entire world because we elected these bozos, and let them trash the global economy?
I want my woke military back. I want my DEI federal government back.
(Actually I want them to be way more woke and DEI than they were.)
Isn't war in 2026 mostly about logistics and maintenance and signal tech?
For every 1 masculine man man with epic guns surely there needs to be 10 or 20 other mild mannered technicians and cooks and geeks to pilot the drones and what not.
The fuck is a beardo?
It's a wild thing. So the term grew out of the manosphere actually, it was mainly a term for present fathers who steered their boys away from that garbage because they recognized it was only going to hurt them. It kind of grew from there to encapsulate everything they hate. Now, they associate beards with hipsters, dads, LGBT+, nerds who like games, music, books, theatre, and basically any man with a soul and two brain cells to rub together, which is precisely who they see as the enemy because they're so transparently evil.
How active is this hegseth on 4chan? How come he knows this stuff but I don't?
So basically a wholesome father with a big bushy beard.
Exactly. They've been working real hard to make it about gas masks in the military, which is a thing, but that's not why they're going off about it. "Beardos and Weirdos" specifically is a dog-whistle for men who actually have honestly held values, don't consider sex, violence, and substance abuse the point of life, and try to be a mentor, a partner, a part of a community or who otherwise contradicts their narrow, machismo-laced, lecherous and reductive definition of "Man."
Holy shit I’m inadvertently outing myself as giving a shit about people.
No it’s just a racist dog whistle. By far the group that gets the most facial hair waivers in the military are black men. They just don’t want blacks in the military anymore.
To explain the facial hair wavers to my fellow straight-hair-phenotypes: forcing to shave too closely, can lead to really big, painful infections and scars from ingrown hairs if you have curly-phenotype hair.
You can shave close enough for a gas mask to work, but in an organization that had its rules build around the bodily and cultural "normal" of white people, you might still need a facial hair waver.
Look here now, a man can enjoy sex, violence, and substance abuse(not necessarily in that order) a whole lot without it becoming a part of their personality. Plenty of us are happy to be degenerates in private
Great explanation. Ashamed to say I would have thought it was another term for 'neckbeard' judging only by the sound of it lol
Jesus. Jesus was a beardo. A real socialist hippie kind of guy in sandals and robes and long hair and a beard.
I think we need to apply Kegsbreath's same energy to removing the cockroaches from our neighborhoods and cities. Conservatives can live in the fucking woods. They should be denied access to absolutely anything a normal society has to offer.
Conservatives hate science, distrust doctors, burn books, loathe education, and want to genocide anyone who isn't as evil and stupid as they are. We don't need them crowding our stores, infesting our hospitals, polluting our water and stealing our air. They need to be completely excluded from normal civilization. Permanently.
It is deeply immoral to keep any conservative as a family member or friend. Never employ them and absolutely never leave one alone with a child. A conservative is pure evil and can never be trusted. Never.
I think it’s just their way of getting rid of anyone that would say no to illegal orders, ie not doing a coup to keep Repugs in power, or attacking US citizens.
Conveniently, it also sends the message that the rest of us are bad or lesser than.
These two points work together to stop progressives from gaining any ground and putting down the inevitable rebellion.
Is part of Hegseth's mental health problems that he can't grow a beard. It wouldn't be the first time in history (Alexander the Great famously count grow a beard and forced his troops to be clean-shaved).
