Hegseth has a high school football player's understanding of the Law of War.
Professionals understand that protecting civilians on the battlefield is a moral and legal obligation that often entails enhanced risk to combatants. That's part of the job.

For all the bleating about warrior ethos and standards, Secretary Pete self-selected out of nearly every single test of warrior leadership that the American Army has standards for.

Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

It's National Play Monopoly Day! The battleship token in the classic version of Monopoly was modeled after USS Indiana (BB-1). The game piece was also used in the board games Conflict and Diplomacy. The Indiana was commissioned in 1895 and decommissioned in 1919. #monopoly

I am *this* close to proposing an explainer with a ballistics chart for sandwiches of various calibers
(and am personally wondering what velocity a sandwich would need to penetrate kevlar. sort of like those cockpit-vs-chicken safety tests)

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

We’re currently spending an entire military aid package to Ukraine’s worth of money on a fucking ballroom.
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million
(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)
