Hegseth said on one of the Sunday talk shows the 8% was a realignment in DOD spending - not a budget reduction. Not his exact words, but something along those lines.
You’re right. The Jews did a horrible job of assimilating into the Middle East when they were relocated there after a thousand year absence.
Exactly!
I saw him interviewed in the last couple of weeks, can't remember where, and he indicated the "reductions" were mostly to come from cutting waste. After 7 straight failed audits, they are estimating the DOD could be cut as much as 15% from a serious DOGE effort. That certainly sounds plausible since the DOD seems to be a large money pit with no accountability.
You are Canadian, correct? I guess I wasn’t aware that Canadians all speak one language, all go to the same church and all eat the same food? Lol.
Loads better than the Comanche assimilated with their neighbors for thousands of years before Europeans arrived!
That has not remotely been the definition in this country.
Sounds to me your version of assimilation falls right in line with what Canada did with the residential schools for native people; where the children of natives were forced to attend these boarding schools which are the sights of mass graves of the children that were often abused and neglected in these schools until they were closed in 1996.
Everyone should be forced to read T. R. Fehrenbach's "Commanche; The History of a People," before becoming too enamored with the presumed nobility of the indigenous North Americans.
Yes and the Sioux weren’t too far behind up north.

How Thousands of Indigenous Children Vanished in Canada (Published 2021)
The discovery of the remains of hundreds of children at the sites of defunct schools in British Columbia and southern Saskatchewan has rekindled discussion of a sinister time in Canada’s history.www.nytimes.com
Being forcibly removed from your parents, beaten for speaking your native tongue, forced to eat European food and then having your body discarded in an unmarked mass grave to hide abuses of the government..... Sounds more like Stalin's "political reeducation" to me.
