OK. But what about pentagrams?

It adds to the warm fuzzy when you realize that Graham supports the unjustified military attacks on boats, and the resultant murder of all those on board, in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. It’s a pretty safe bet that nobody in the chain of command, down to those who literally pulled the trigger, will ever face a court martial for following an illegal order.

Dude, synecdoche is a thing. The other side likes to play definition gotcha games. Don’t drop to their level.

War, war, war. We no longer have soldiers or members of the military. We have “warriors.” Better yet, warriors with white nationalist tattoos. Next time the guy who’s only fit to command a bottle of booze puts on his makeup and takes questions from the press, just ask him if JD Vance, who was a PR flack in the Marines with not a single tattoo visible, was a “warrior.” Might as well milk this stupidity for what it’s worth.

Sen. Mark Kelly
The overwhelming majority of Americans side with Senator Kelly. He understands duty and honor to country.

My point in the comment was to criticize the announcement of an investigation without identifying an investigator. The Pentagon comment was a joke, of sorts, because the announcement was done via tweet, and attributed to “The Department of War.” No investigator, no people, no process, just an announcement.

“Now the Pentagon is investigating Kelly.”
Given the brutal smackdown the court just gave to Loaner Lindsay Halligan and her boss Blondi, I think Hegseth’s move is a doubling down on a failing strategy.
Kelly didn’t even mention Trump or Hegseth, both of who are making it pretty clear (not that it wasn’t already) that they’ve been giving illegal orders to members of the military. The two of them don’t give a shit about the difference between murder and lawful killing in wartime, but waddya know a lot of other Americans do. My money is on finding out that a bunch of military lawyers do, too.

If your buddy Whiskey Pete gets his way, Lindsay, we may get an answer to your question in a real-life courtoom, where rules of discovery apply.

Call for the impeachment of Hegseth as soon as possible.
Reciting truthfully what the law is is a duty not a crime.

The guilty flee where no man pursueth. The video announced to the military what their rights and duties are if they are given an illegal order.
We have no direct knowledge of the precise order given to those firing on the boats suspected of carrying drugs.
Mostly, it looks like Trump and Hegseth are itching to start a war somewhere.

Son in law gave me the run down the day the moving truck was loading my house to come out to MN. I know the entire loan includes solar, assumption of the remaining mortgage I held on the property and building a manufacturing facility for their goat milk products (they’re now making them in some renovated and approved rooms in the house). Total bill was proposed to be $600k.

I felt obligated to call this in to our local paper, which they promptly published.
Congressman Jason Crow and five other Democratic representatives and senators correctly advised military personnel that they are not required to obey illegal orders that violate the law or the Constitution. In response, Trump put his ignorance on full display when he said the six Democrats are guilty of sedition and should be arrested, tried and put to death. Trump’s irresponsible rhetoric has no place in a civil society and has endangered six elected congress members who were performing a public service.

Is it illegal to order an investigation into lawful activity for political purposes? Could Keg’s Breath be court-martialed?
