Generals Summoned to D.C., Military Families in Peril | Anchor Watch With Bobby Jones

An embarrassing day for the United States.

I don’t want to sugarcoat it,

was as mad as I’ve seen him at the spectacle at Quantico today. And for good reason.

Pete Hegseth denigrated the service of Black and brown people, women, trans people, and, well, everyone in our armed forces who does not look like Pete Hegseth. That was jarring, of course, but what’s worse is that he did this in front of the men and women who have dedicated their lives to building the greatest military to have ever patrolled the planet.

In essence, he was denigrating all of their service, but he was too ignorant to know that.

It was a waste of resources. It was pure spectacle. And at best, it’s only accomplishment was wasting the time of our top brass. At worse, this event destroyed morale and made the United States look silly.

But you have to hear it from Bobby Jones. He has thoughts, and as always, he brings receipts.

In the second half of the show, he welcomes Libby Jamison, the founder of Military Families for Ethical Leadership, to talk about the toll that deployment can take on the families of our men and women in the military — and how a feckless leader like Hegseth only makes matters worse.
