Yeah, after the boat was hit by a missile and 9 guys are dead one guy decides to sunbathe. Maybe he was checking to see if part of the boat and was impaled in his stomach, or was going to wrap it around his dying comrade’s blown off foot.

Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

I can say as a former Navy ship driver, yes it's unfathomable. The whole program of using our Navy this way is warped and detestable. The command is under special forces, hopefully not the surface warfare guys. Utterly demoralizing to see the command give or take orders to shoot survivors at sea.

A comment from an American treasure, on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation’s nominally-top diplomat.
Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
