”In 2024, Hegseth published a book… In it, he claimed that the U.S. military was weak and “effeminate” because its leaders had embraced diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

”Trump and…Hegseth did not appear to have a strategy for their war on Iran. … The education, expertise, cooperation, and coalitions on which the modern U.S. stood before Trump were signs not of strength, but of weakness. That ideology seems to have been what was behind the attack on Iran.”

So, I think it wasn't an essay, but two movies I saw in class -- "The Bro Code" and "The Strength to Resist". I'll see if I can find a link to those. In the meantime, here is my student response to the movies that I wrote back in 2017.
"The movie, “The Strength to Resist,” Dr. Gail Dines talks media’s impact on boys and men, and how “men are affected by society’s encoded messages of what it means to be a man” (Strength). However, in the movie, “The Bro Code,” Dr. Thomas Keith describes “Maxim model of manhood” (Bro Code). If a man doesn’t “measure up to Alpha Male, he will put you in your place,” (Bro Code). If one doesn’t measure up to “a tough guy badass” (Bro Code) hypermasculine model, then you’re were either feminized or a “a McLovin” (Bro Code) nerd-type.
The #hypermasculine model puts pressure on boys and men to hide their feelings or be considered weak or feminized, and to act and look a certain way – with an emphasis of being buff and tough. But it is painfully obvious – especially after watching “The Strength to Resist” and the Ms. magazine article – that there is a lot of pressure on girls and women to look a certain way – with boys and men can be brainwashed into judging women by their looks and thinking of them as just “sex objects” (Bro Code).
Gloria Steinem summed it up nicely when she described how that “even ‘real’ non-model women photographed for a woman’s magazine are usually made up, dressed in credited clothes, and retouched out of all reality” (Steinem, 181). Unrealistic expectations hurt everyone, and only by rejecting these standards can we be ourselves, and not media-constructed hyperboles."
Media-constructed hyperbole describes #Hegseth perfectly!

'Before Pete Hegseth had even been sworn in as defense secretary, Admiral Caudle, then the head of a major Navy training command, offered to help Mr. Hegseth prepare for his politically contentious Senate confirmation hearing...Nothing came of the offer. But soon after Mr. Hegseth took office, he fired the first woman to lead the Navy: Admiral Caudle’s boss. Days later, a senior officer on Admiral Caudle’s staff contacted Mr. Hegseth’s team'

Hey, do y'all remember when the Secretary of Scotch Pete #Hegseth was roaming the seas with his bros in the #Navy and blowing up fisherman for fun? I know it seems a lifetime ago, in this, the age of the Kakistocracy Firehose.
Turns out, it was all for naught. Cocaine prices, purity, and supply have not diminished, in fact, prices are going down at the wholesale market. (Good news for the Venture Capital set!)
Honest to Bob, these failsons are so absurd I'm beginning to doubt any of this is real. Maybe I'm in a coma...although man, I don't know if I'm creative enough to come up with *waves hands around* all of this.

USA starten angekündigte Überprüfung ihrer Truppenpräsenz in Europa
https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/ueberpruefung-militaerpraesenz-usa-100.html
Was ich gerne auch lesen würde:
"EU starten Überprüfung der US-Truppenpräsenz in Europa
Alle Standorte stehen zur Disposition, insbesondere solche, die die USA für ihre nationalen eigenstaatlichen Aktionen und Kriegsführungen in Afrika und Asien benutzen. Hierzu zählt insbesondere Ramstein Air Base, RAF Lakenheath, Aviano Air Base, Sigonella Naval Air Station, Morón Air Base."

"How could the best-equipped, most #sophisticated military in the world have allowed itself to be #humiliated by a third-rate power?
First of all, Pete #Hegseth and Donald #Trump began with an astonishingly stupid theory of war: the belief that #performative #masculinity is how you win. Hegseth literally believes that the secret of #military #might in an age of AI-enabled drones that can travel hundreds of miles is more #testosterone."

RE: https://mas.to/@euronews/116996656121801807
[During his speech at #NATO headquarters in Brussels, #Hegseth echoed #Trump's repeatedly criticism and slammed European allies for its response, or lack thereof, to the joint US-Israeli war in Iran, including the refusal to allow US forces access to bases in Europe to launch attacks.]
A war started unilaterally by the US.
Attacks that aren't allowed under current peace protocols. NATO isn't at war, just the US. -

US pauses Iran strikes because the arsenal ran dry. Interceptors shipped to Ukraine, burned on Houthis. A superpower patting pockets for bus fare. Defense Secretary Hegseth couldn’t be reconfirmed by his own party tomorrow. His own party lost confidence. The house is already burning when the alarm comes from inside. #IranWar #USPolitics #Hegseth #Arsenal #War #Politics #News #Bluesky #CurrentEvents #Accountability
