"Core values." My response: "Bull shit"
Our tax dollars gone again .
Bot
Is that all that comes to you. It’s US colonization and slavery
What a disgrace. Pull all their cards Matt.
I was a marine and that general embarrassing answers are offensive
Once a marine always a marine!!! Me ten years in army!
Thank you for serving this great nation for us people to protect us . Your sacrifice is appreciated very much . ❤️🙏🙏❤️
Semper Fi. Marines are the last branch still fighting against the nonsense
Matt knows who he would put in charge: Joel Greenberg
He’s a 4 star combatant commander and those are the best answers he could provide to Congress?
UNSAT…
If that is a top general we are in trouble.
@johnmorgan834classic civilian. Thinks officers and guys who have been in 10+ years must know what they’re doing and are good at their job. FYI for all you civis it’s very easy to fail your way upwards in the military, especially if you’re an officer. The general is clearly dodging the question because he knows that there is a correlation between us military training and over throwing the govt. He gives vague answers so that he won’t get demoted and lose out on the nice govt pension coming his way.
Funny thing is The Top General's name is Charlie Brown.
INVESTIGATE ALL RECIPIENTS ASAP
Say the fucken pledge of Allegiance please. One Catholic prayer, and if that never works out what's affiliation. I don't think I heard of that can you talk to the fire practioners please
Bot
Imo, the General's core value is "double-speak" "1984" George Orwell's warning about totalitarianism
The General sounds somewhat like Obama if one listens closely...
@@5thribroarn304 listen to ANY of the Dems these days. Almost all of them speak like Barry, he seems to be their model for how to deal with these questions by not answering them.
@@jumpupdown2556
He was taught well, by for.eign as well as do.mestic wa.di.cals, yes.
a political stain in a uniform. the dems sure know how to pick them.
Looks like the general was a quota filler!
Kind of like trump, with his family.😂😂😂
America should not be training anybody outside America🇺🇲
@@Sobeit2024 Nothing, they’re getting an export model.
Our Country's Military Weapons, as well as Aircraft, Ship, Classified Technology, Missile Designs, and Nuclear Secrets have managed to be found, seen and/or used by many Other Countries, whom We The People would like these Countries to please confirm our research findings so that we can have our Military Justice System conduct much needed Investigative Work and Justice Served to the Perpetrators, with the understanding that your Countries were just wanting to obtain knowledge and that you were helpful with catching the culprits of our Country which would greatly be taken into consideration...
But they want to stop defensive training in the state of Maine . Passing a law referring to such activities as paramilitary training !? Ridiculous ! We have a war between Russia Ukraine Isreal Palestine China Taiwan . Perversions taught in schools . Open compromised border Homelessness inflation. US just finished printing more dollars the value of the dollar is at negative . The banks are about to collapse . Of course they want your guns .
Yes a country shouldn't support it's interests by creating influence overseas. Your understanding of World politics might be non-existent.
We have always help train our allies. We have helped every army that takes over where we left off. We have been paid by other nations to train their people for weapons we sold them. You have no clue how the military works. Just like Matt and Faux news. It is like blaming your driving instructor for your life time of tickets and wrecks.
The defiance of the general is troubling. HE is the type of military leader who would fire on his own people. Elections have consequences.
DEI at it's finest ...
Did taxpayers pay for the General 's horrible horse teeth?
This is unbelievable........!!! Speechless
Gotta love how they talk in circles!! Gaetz is right. There are countries that do NOT want us there, Africa, especially.
One reason they don't want us there is because the Biden Administration is pushing Wike Ideology on African countries, i.e. gay marriage, abortion, transgender acceptance and many African countries aren't going along with it.
You nailed it. My comment on this topic will be disappearing again
Yup they don’t do what what is all this drama about 😂? If you want to help someone and they decided nah we good we don’t need your help, you leave now we got it under control. Why are you are getting mad 😂mdr
General is a bought and paid for clown. All these military medals! "Really" for what?
Well he survived the leadership purge of 2009 - 2017 so that tells us exactly who he is and what he stands for.
If that’s leading our Marines we’re in dire straits.
REP. M GAETZ...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....
MATT GAETZ IS FULL OF CRAP
another dummy. he keeps saying the same thing.
The dummy is Matt
@ronniecameron7094 you are mistaken.
@@christopherhazell420 you are out numbered
Seriously… watched a video of you saying “starts with core values” and then repeat that statement again 🤦♂️ can’t make this shit up
He is trained not to say anything to Politician that is detrimental to the Service.
Matt Gaetz 2.0
Being transparent with the public. Remember military works for the country not politicians. Politicians ain't taking bullets. Africa needs to farmers not weapons of war.
It depends who The Military take an
Oath to...
in The UK an Oath is taken to King Charles III,
previously it was Queen Elizabeth II.
The Monarchy.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler 1 February 1933-45
The NAZI GERMAN Military took an
Oath to Hitler.
@@FunnyBunny-pd5xx I do know times are changing everyday. America lost the revolutionary war with Great Britain. Landlords just make it so damn difficult. Giving any country weapons created dependency. United Kingdom all the politicians in the world or not saving the middle-class and that's police,janitor's ,babysitters and everything else in between. They work for Law & order it doesn't work the other way around. Peace will never be stop good will never ends. Who wants to live being wealthy and scared. It's a sad existence sad.
Take an oath to your family and don’t let them go hungry.
@@Lyndanet I don't take oaths I live by a code. Military does take everybody! It don't even take people that wants to die for their country. It's just a job at the end of the day.
@@LyndanetPoliticians dictators don't get shot. Wars are fought over money and to kill young boys.
How does Racist America have so many High ranking military personnel???
WY ARE THEY TRAINING ANYONE OTHER THAN AMERICAN CITIZENS.
To destabilize the countries and steal the resources.
What a flat out liar this general is. Hes evasive, and either misinformed or just a flat liar! He needs to be dishonorably discharged!
This general does not serve the interests of the American people, it’s embarrassing
LOL! When was your last security briefing!??
@@Dan-sc7usdid you watch this video?
Stop spending our beeping money a.h.s
This is exactly what Donald Trump was talking about. Interference in other countries might lead to WW3.
Gaetz is brutal, I love it.
Gaetz for speaker of the house.
He should ask who sold the $160M weapons package and $120M training package that had us there in the first place, for the training and picture op? Initials are DJT, look it up.
There’s a reason why no one in DC respects Gates, although he’s loved by lonely losers on SM.
I have to agree with the congressman. And the way this man is going around answering questions makes me believe that he knows he's lying too
I think it’s great that congress is calling out a lot of people who are either liars protecting the “agenda” or flat out does not know what is going on. However, every time I watch one of these videos, I feel that it only serves to embarrass the one being questioned but nothing more severe happens to them.
Exhibit "A" of why the military should not be involved in politics.
There's no way the coup wasn't on our radar. “Congrats, here's your diploma. Great job. What are your plans?”
Everyone forgets The School of The Americas huh?? We been training them in our own backyard for decades
These people need to go
Our chain of command carries zero accountability and its gross.
IF YOU REALLY THINK THAT IS BAD, LOOK AT WHO IS TALKING!!! MATT GAETZ TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF HIS ACTIONS.
@@averydavis1708 your caps lock is on there guy.
Also, what actions are mentioning?
Send him to Gitmo and get him out of that uniform!!! TREASON
Exactly
In the UK we are worried about the lack of investment in our military, we are equally worried about the calibre of your Generals!
Each are equally scary 😧🤡
PLEASE STAY WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR OPINIONS!!!
@@averydavis1708 for now I’m glad to, your country is falling apart quicker than ours, your government is certainly more corrupt 🤷🏼♂️
DEI on parade.
Just posting to see if it gets deleted.
If it doesn’t fit the NaRRatIVE it will most likely get deleted. I’ve almost given up on posting a political comment due to the fact it’s deleted so often so what’s the point.

If your comment HAD been immediately deleted,
it means you have been
SHADOW BANNED.
It seems congress debating and finding people lying, stealing, and/or worse, is just theater, because I never see any consequences for anyone congress calls out. It's always, "your time is up, we recognize the next person." And then... it's over.
It's actually embarrassing.
The moment you see it's a "hearing"...you know it's a "show"....
Go Rep. Gaetz. Thank you!!!
And, Rep Jordan. These old codgers have been lying to cya. Now, we want real answers.
Wow. This General Officer has an apparent deeply held contempt for Congress’ oversight of the military.
Answer the question!
Wtf are we training other people's armies😮
It's been done here since before the country was born.
Horsesh$t general
Democrats lol ... wow
The USMC combat veteran from Louisiana/Texas, who earned a Bronze Star and a ton of war medals?
"There is no syllabus for overthrowing a government."
"I'll do a follow up on that, Congressman." He said that with such faux sincerity that I broke out laughing. The hubris is staggering.
General Lies his ass off.
I support and will obey Matt Gaetz forever!
obey? Respect him will be fine enough
Are you just itching for someone to lead you. Think for yourself bud.
Sounds exactly like something one of Gaetz’s 18yo adopted “sons” would say.
Ruzzian bot. SAD!
You're part of the problem.
General DEI.
Thanks Matt for speaking fluently to Americas Military Official directly to his face , say 20 yards away . You do reveal the truth and so does that Military Official in just how he spoke back like he`s on offense by eviscerating the issues your employing to him , directly to his face . Thanks again Matt , keep it up , more Americans need to see & watch and listen to much more like this to witness the truth !
As a military member. This is quite disrespectful. Mr. Congressmen how many elections does it take to get someone who is not corrupt. How many presidents does it take before we actually become UNITED
And nobody would ask a simple question to any of these unelected people are bureaucrats whatever you want to call them why does this have to be in a classified setting so where nobody can talk about it because quite frankly I thought this administration wanted to be transparent transparent did it or did it not say that we are going to be the most transparent White House and that is the reason why they say I can only talk about this in a classified setting because then you cannot speak about what we talked about in any classified setting in a skiff
That was brutal
I'm so sick of all the BULLSHIT going on ....
He believes if he continues to say "core values", they'll stop asking questions.
Now that's very concerning and scary 😟🧐🤔😬
Gaetz: Did we train a warlord, General?
General: Corps Values.
This is embarrassing.
They hand out stars like candy, these generals couldn't lead a band
diversity hires all around
You need them in order to negotiate with other countries. Did you forget that?
This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
It’s the smile at the end that says it all
Syria, Niger, Iraq, Ukraine, a lot of small African, South and Central American Countries, but no Coup attempts . Since WW2, There has been a minimum of 167 attempted Coups in which the U.S was in Charge of.
Just another typical and accursed example of promotion based on the color of the skin, but NOT because of individual's intelligence, ability and competence!!! ! IT'S EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!
WRONG!!!!
Exactly
Go get em Gaetz
The ratio of Generals to Soldiers is very expensive, I wonder how many 4 star has the Marines ever had?
I don't think this is corruption - it's breathtaking incompetence.
Wow. Core values. Core values. Core values. Someone without original thoughts.
That general is lying through his teeth. A piece of work. A problem solver who removes non compliant state leaders. He virtually acknowledged it. Shameless.
Good Lord, I hate DEI appointments in the military! - MSG, Ret, USA-SF
not just now, but always
How can the united states help countries over throw their country
They are ordered to by stupid politicians.
Well, what happened was a $280M weapons and training package was sold to Niger under Trump in 2017 and 2019, and delivered to Niger in 2021-2022 when the photo was taken. No US personnel helped them overthrow their country, but we did sell them weapons under the agreement that we had to train them to use them correctly. Of course, when they do something like overthrow their government, they don’t receive US weapons replacement parts or ammunition, although they paid a premium.
The Gov't has been doing that for a very long time.
Don't you think it is a little too late to bring this up when this is well known by EVERYONE to be going on for decades? And not just in Africa, everywhere in the world.
So, we don't charge people with treason?
It's nice to see a general push back for a change.
This is the quality of senior officers in the Marine Corps??? Im glad im no longer serving then.
Who would serve under these embarrassing generals?!
God bless Matt Gaetz‼️
He needs to ask the elite about this one.
As a US Marine myself, I am thoroughly disappointed in this disgraceful performance General. Just Wow. Welcome to Biden America
The defiance of this general is disgusting. Perhaps he's forgotten a key element of the military command structure: The military is answerable and accountable to the civilian government. This is not a banana republic, yet.
MATT GAETZ IS FULL OF CRAP!!!
GAETZ IS THE CORRUPTION!
DON'T GET IT TWISTED!
Gaetz all my respect to/you, you should be a VP , you really have power ; you really love America , 100% agree with you and all the Americans 🇺🇸
How you stood against islamomarxism will ECHO forever
So thats what they're calling the School of the Assassins now.
Bravo!
Side deals ? who knows
Core values... and follow up... no wonder we lose every war... with unlimited resources and unlimited time... meanwhile the s--t is the least unsavory thing you find running down US city streets.
What in the hell has happened to our Military?
Simply question is a problem for him, Mr. Core Values
the EU and China is in Africa also.then people ask why are these countries like this bec, the rest of the world wants what they have.
Accused Sex Trafficker Grills U.S. General.
How far the Gop Controlled House has fallen
Where do these empty uniform suites come from and why such High Rank?
This general is a disgrace, but I expect nothing less from higher-ups in this administration.
What’s your first general order General? Just begin!!
The General has no CAR !
Is there a correlation between being a general and being so uppity?
Maybe the truth is the basic training of obedience, leadership, and organization is something countries severely lack. It doesn’t have to be complicated tactics, it could just be a shift in importance to attributes. 🤷🏾♂️ let’s be real. If we are the most advanced our basics would be far advanced for undereducated countries.
I haven’t been in the USMC in a very long time, but I remember our generals being more competent than this DEI hire.
Dei general, didn't earn it
CLEARLY APPARENT YOU NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY!!!
Unfortunately the Marine General is not a very informed nor talented speaker. could you imagine how this conversation would have gone if General Zinni, or Gray, or Mattis were sitting in that chair? Gen. Langley makes the Corps look inept and morally challenged. Now my statement does HOT extend to the rank and file Marines. Just saying... Langley sounds like an idiot.
The Corps keeps a few tokens around for good measure
