Reprint: Strongmen Doomed to Fail! Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and Imperial Japan all built their military strategies on a version of this ideology. And in each case, the strategy failed, undone by its own contradictions. #warriorethos

"In the United States today, right-wing leaders claim divine providence is behind everything they do, from their destruction of the environment to their ever-expanding militarism. ...

America’s new warrior ethos, ripped more from video games than from real life, was on full display this week."

"They are slavish to the allure of simplistic stereotypes, where the ideal warrior is a man, usually of European descent, with bulging biceps and a sneering grin. That is why they continue to purge women and minorities from positions of leadership, why they disdain expertise in anything more complex than an explosion, why they ignore the obvious need for nuance or complexity."

"He’s even stated explicitly that this should be going how it did in Venezuela, where the next in command steps forward and agrees to an indefinite period of vassalhood under not so much the U.S. but Donald Trump himself. What remains of the Iranian state leadership does not seem interested in that."

"Trump started this war as part of the international acting-out he’s been at for the last few months, a way of compensating for reverses at home. If we look at his statements and U.S. actions leading up to the beginning of the war, the impulse or the goal seems simply to be in charge, for Iran to do what Trump says."

"House Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford on Fox: 'We have been at war with Iran since 1947.'

… The Republican talking point is to claim that Iran has been at war with us for 47 years, so Trump’s bombings are just a continuation of that and are being done in self defense. But Crawford got it a little confused trying to follow the script."

"In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began. ...

Hegseth has described the war’s mission as 'very very clear' and 'laser-focused.' Rubio said the war had 'a very clear goal' and he didn’t understand why there was any 'confusion.' Leavitt said that Trump had laid out 'achievable objectives.'”

Interesting conversation with historian Bret Devereaux. He talks about the difference between warriors and soldiers and that the emphasis in the US on our military being warriors rather than soldiers is #fascist in nature.

For your convenience, I've posted the video to begin at the point at which this warrior/soldier conversation begins but listen to the whole thing.

"It’s yet another example of Trump being undone by his even more chaotic minions – RFK Jr. and vaccines , Peter Navarro and his 'Liberation Day' tariffs, Bill Pulte’s scurrilous use of private mortgage information (which implicated his own family) and Brendan Carr’s own-goal from going after Jimmy Kimmel. I could go on, but I think the point is made."

Lucian K. Truscott, whose father was an Army colonel and whose grandfather was a general, and who himself graduated from U.S. Military Academy, explains the loud racist subtext of Hegseth's attack on beards in the military.

I recommend reading the essay to get the full story — and note that Truscott quotes someone from the past who uses a raw, ugly racist slur term.

Commenting on the Trump-Hegseth performance yesterday, Kristin Du Mez points to a passage in her book Jesus and John Wayne in which she discussewd retired colonel David Antoon's commentary on the infusion of warrior rhetoric in the military in the 2000s.

She wrote,

"Antoon identified a source of this inflitration."
