Some fascists like to call themselves Libertarians.

"However, some argue that a "pipeline" or connection exists between the two, stemming from several factors:"

"Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement.

Hegseth writes that in explaining the rules of engagement, the JAG officer "used the example of an identified enemy holding a rocket-propelled grenade", asking Hegseth's platoon: "Do you shoot at him?'"

"And my guys were like, Hell, yeah, we light him up,'" Hegseth writes.

According to Hegseth, the JAG officer responded: "Wrong answer, men. You are not authorized to fire at that man, until that RPG becomes a threat. It must be pointed at you with the intent to fire. That makes it a legal and proper engagement.'"

Hegseth writes that in response: "We sat in silence, stunned."

He then instructed his men to ignore the legal advice."

Just when you thought the Lard King couldn't be more evil, he finds a way.

True. Though it may be that everyone other than DJT himself finds out they don't have the same Rwing SC protections that he does. They may wind up in prison while he becomes the next Pres of Israel.

This only proves that DJT will do anything to get that Trump Moscow Casino and Hotel Building Permit!

Even trade away rare earth minerals in Donbas that belong to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Vlad started today by threatening Europe with war, saying he is ready to get it on!

"Hegseth cites fog of war' in defending follow-on strike in scrutinized attack on alleged drug boat"

;o) JeffyBelle currently obfuscating for a disaster that will make a 'train wreck' look like a walk in the proverbial Park is absurdly funny.

When the object of your political affection is a thoroughly vile and evil POS on a Nuclear Level, you really have no business whining about the opposition's comparatively minor faults.

ie; neither Biden nor Harris would have ever tried to stay in power when they lost an election.

Prolly would never have sexually assaulted people, defrauded people, or turned America into a Cash Cow for their own personal use, either.

Trump won by less than 1.6 percent of the popular vote... which is in no way represented by his large Electoral College win; so the System itself is highly flawed.

The Fact is that he LIED his way into the WH, and his Polls show now that many people that voted for him feel betrayed.

Not Trumpers, of course. Because they are in Cult.

"Hegseth says U.S. has "only just begun" sinking alleged drug vessels

"We've only just begun striking narco-boats and putting narco-terrorists at the bottom of the ocean because they've been poisoning the American people," Hegseth said from the president's side.

The Defense Department's Law of War Manual uses shooting shipwrecked survivors as an example of an illegal order that service members are obligated to refuse.

The manual also states that those "who have been incapacitated by wounds, sickness, or shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack."

Your ignorance is Legendary.

"I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made..."

Combat?

What was the fishing boat attacking the Navy with?

Trump is out murdering civilians, bankrupting the country (and his polls), turning the WH into the World's Biggest Racketeering Gangster Operation... and 1Nut spends his time talking about what some Dem might or might not have done that is miniscule in comparison.

What Hegseth's Mom and 3rd wife had to say:

Yep... this whole thing can rightly be blamed on Biden's Autopen.

Ha!

Someone actually agreed wif' me today:

I've been enjoying Ken Burns new, "The American Revolution"... which may well be seen as what happens when Empires decide to divvy up the world.

Some people are going to balk at the whole idea.
