Pentagon Pete’s “FAFO” Threat: Silence and Contempt from Military Brass
At a gathering of nearly 800 military leaders, Pete Hegseth delivered a speech intended to rouse the assembled brass, employing chest-beating rhetoric and visceral expressions. His war cry, including the acronym “FAFO,” was met with an awkward silence and tepid responses. Hegseth’s speech also touched upon topics such as fat generals, climate change, and gender issues, while expressing a desire to restore basic training and allow drill sergeants to physically interact with recruits. Despite his efforts, the assembled military officials remained largely unmoved.
