It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose: you must start somewhere and have some roots, and the soil of the Shire is deep.
Murderers often act illogically. For example, they murder people.
What's more logical?
That the CIA directed one of its assets to perform the perfect false flag?
Or
That a jihadist played the long game by working with the CIA in Afghanistan to gain legal access to the country and then travel 3,000 miles to enact his plan of attacking National Guard soldiers?

I’ve been halfway down the trail to hell, brother. Whether it was on Afghanistan’s Plains, Hill 781, or in the elementary school dropoff lane. If the battle of Waterloo was won on the fields of Eton, a true Warrior can hone the edge of lethality while dodging crossing guards.
I touch grass every day — feel it slide between my toes like a reminder I’m still on this earth. The scent of gun oil rides the morning breeze, familiar as a hymn. Somewhere in the distance, artillery thumps like a giant’s heartbeat. Sun on my face, dirt under my nails, metal in the air.
Good Lord. Seriously? Touch grass, dude.

Just discovered an amazing photo. Pictured is Capt. Kevin Corcoran, CO C/1/5 1st Cav Div working his radios in South Vietnam at some point in the first half of 1968. Photo was taken by a fellow soldier, Dean Sharp. You can feel the weight of command on his face. Some may identify with that look.

Something that I appreciate is that I, personally, have never committed any atrocities. The system I operated within stressed the law of land warfare and associated concepts.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

You have to look at this and say “that’s weird, must be in far northern MN” and then say “what agency does that squad belong to?” And then say “why would a rural PD get a charger?”
And then say “that other moose doesn’t look right. this is some ai bullshit”

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

My favorite line in the Wizard of Oz is: “What makes an elephant charge his tusk, in the misty mist and the dusky dusk? What makes a muskrat guard his musk?”

This statement is way outside of CIA’s lane and erosive of the ethical norm that intelligence should be non-partisan. If that norm vanishes, intelligence loses a very large portion of its value.

My hot take is that this holiday is great and gratitude fucking rules. The shittiest people in the world want you to feel despair and they don’t know shit about feeling thankful. Nurture this superpower, bring goodness out into the light, and shame the pricks like the devils they are.

If you ever want to experience creeping horror, be a 16yo kid trying to cut from 190 or so during football to 160 for wrestling at thanksgiving.
And having to visit not fewer than four thanksgiving dinners because your parents keep getting divorced.

I once had an aversion to deviled eggs because my dad’s second wife made me eat some when I was six and I threw it all up on my grandmother’s formal dining table.
But I overcame that through sheer force of Will when I was 28.

Pete don’t have that dawg in him
We all believe in improving efficiency, and a team genuinely focused on that could do a world of good.
But the DOGE we could have had is a far cry from the DOGE we actually got.
