This is extraordinary and extraordinarily revealing if true. "An artificial intelligence chatbot unveiled by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday appears to have described airstrikes against suspected drug smugglers at sea as 'unambiguously illegal.'" report by @mikaelthalen.bsky.social 1/2

It's pretty bad when Kegsbreath's own AI says he is murdering people who may or may not be guilty of something that is not worthy of a death sentence because murdering brown people gets favorable ratings from people who peaked in junior high school.

We don't have a Department of Defense or a Secretary of Defense. It is the Department of War and the Secretary of War.
Get with the times.
We will have our war, that is why we have the Department!

It is the Department of War and the Secretary of War.

Did Congress ever approve those name changes?

LOL. I kid. Of course not.
