Cool stuff from General Razin Caine (great name):
Hegseth vs the media: "We don't do that anymore. We don't play your little game"
HEGSETH: "So when I say something like our boys and bombers - see, this is the kind of thing the press does, right? Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. That's fantastic. She's fantastic. She's a hero."
"When you spin it as because I say 'our boys in bombers' as a common phrase - I'll keep saying things like that. Whether they're men or women, very proud of that female pilot, just like I'm very proud of those male pilots."
"And I don't care if it's a male or a female in that cockpit, and the American people don't care. But it's the obsession with race and gender in this department that's changed priorities.""
We don't do that anymore. We don't play your little game"
"There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible."
"You're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission."
"How about we talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it's too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news. So we're used to that."
