Congress requires the Pentagon to support the scouting program’s Jamboree, a gathering of thousands of young scouts held every three or four years. The U.S. military lends trucks, ambulances and medical teams, and puts on aviation and skydiving demonstrations, all at no cost to the Scouts. For the military, it’s both a training exercise and an opportunity to recruit highly motivated, civic-minded kids.
But the law includes an exemption: the Secretary of Defense can withhold support if he determines providing it would be “detrimental to national security.”
Drafts of a report to Congress obtained by NPR show Hegseth invoking that clause — accusing Scouting America of fostering “gender confusion.”
His memo to the House and Senate Armed Services committees argues the Scouts have strayed from their mission to “cultivate masculine values.” It also claims that with international conflicts and a tight budget, sending troops, doctors and vehicles to a 10-day youth event would harm national security by diverting resources from border operations and protecting U.S. territory.
Why not just skip the middle man, and bring back the hitler youth?
I mean, that IS the vibe they’re going for, right?
Because he has to have his name on it to satisfy his narcissism.
Imagine putting your children near anything with that rapists name on it on purpose. That alone should qualify for child endangerment if not outright abuse.
I mean, that was also the point of the Hitler Youth…
