Internal Pentagon Report Reveals Hegseth Is Willfully Putting Civilians in Danger

A damning Department of War report finds that the Pentagon didn't fully implement any required civilian harm mitigation measures.

The Pentagon's top watchdog says cuts to civilian harm mitigation and response efforts have been so severe under War Secretary Pete Hegseth that the United States cannot adequately protect civilians in conflict zones.

Thursday's scathing analysis by the Department of War's inspector general came on the same day that the top U.S. commander overseeing the war in Iran dismissed reports of civilian casualties and said the U.S. had no means to corroborate reports of strikes on hospitals and schools.

The inspector general specifically notes that the military stopped funding a database that tracks civilian harm that could be used for such verification.

(that's fellow Texian and musician/songwriter Michael Nesmith chillin' with John Lennon @ 3mins30secs in)

Also... this is a cool story:

"But Nesmith's career has extended well beyond the as-seen-on-TV band.

In his new memoir, Infinite Tuesday, he recalls forming his own group, creating one of the first music videos, writing novels and becoming friends with the likes of John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix.

At one point, during the summer of 1967, Hendrix even opened for The Monkees on tour " but it didn't last long.

"We were playing to 10 and 12,000 14-year-old girls," Nesmith recalls. "And so when [Hendrix] walked on stage, it was an absolute anomaly.

When he started playing 'Foxy Lady,' they were saying, 'We want Davy, we want Davy!

'He could really only take a little bit of that, and after about eight or 10 concerts he finally walked off the stage and said, 'Look, I can't do this anymore.'"

"Perhaps even stranger than the touring combination of Hendrix and The Monkees was the story of how that bill came to be.

"We'd all gone out to dinner one time, John [Lennon] was late," Nesmith says.

"He came in at a point and he said, 'Sorry I'm late, but I was in a club and I heard this guy and I recorded it. You just have to listen to this.'

And he pulled out a little tape recorder, put it on the table and played 'Foxy Lady,' that Jimi was playing live at that club.

"And the table went silent, we were speechless.

So when I got back to the hotel I said, 'Strangest thing happened, John came with this tape of Jimi Hendrix,' and Micky [Dolenz] said, 'Oh, I saw him at a club and I asked him if he'll come and open for us!'

Thus begins one of the great pop ironies of our time."

A bit of a caveat to the veggie way, which I have followed mostly for 25 years:

www.ewg.org

Frozen fruits and veggies have less pesticide residues, and are often fresher because they are cleaned and flash frozen right after picking.

Just be wary of Gov allowed limits, as Monsanto doesn't really care about you at all.

I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Though true love could have been a contender

[Chorus]
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender

(Reagan Era Lament)
