Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Hegsseth's Pepp Rally Policies.

Okay. Well, the much talked about meeting that was called by Hegseth to talk to the generals happened.

It was about as well received as I expected. We've gotten literally hundreds

as many as we can, but we won't get to all of them, because I just refuse to do a two-hour special

military, or you were but weren't exposed to Marines, you're about to find out something interesting.

The people that most Marines call Doc is probably not a doctor and isn't a Marine. The Marines

don't have medics. Doc is usually a

Navy corpsman assigned to them. Why? Part is tradition and because the Navy already had the

infrastructure. And part is because the Marine Corps makes killers, not healers. But you need both on a battlefield. The military can be
