I'm having a hard time finding doctrine, modern or historic, that supports all the war criming behaviors.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

Always look to the experts.
Let me be clear. In the context of war, killing helpless former combatants who’re trying not to drown by clinging to pieces of their wrecked ship is a WAR CRIME. Outside the context of war, it is MURDER. There are a lot of very complex hard-to-judge military ethics cases, but this ain’t one of them.
why do we have rules if no one reads them !
Alt: GIF shows a scene from the TV show The Big Bang where the character Sheldon tosses a large stack of papers in the air and says, angrily, as the pages fall everywhere, “Why do we have rules if no one reads them?!”

Same look when you’re on hold with the VA.
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.

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

10-y/o asked for this song on the way home and said "why is the music from the 1970s better than the music today?"

You have to withdraw some troops now so you can have a surge later. Everyone loves a surge!

Some days I wake up and say “I can do anything.” Then I walk through the library on campus and come across some biology notes and say, “Ok, I can do lots of things… not this though.”

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Thinking about @ywfyf.com and @wrenispinkle.bsky.social while in the Alamodome yesterday. It’s the little things in life.

As a veteran, I am disgusted by these clear bag policies. We fought so Americans could carry bags of all sorts. It’s like these folks don’t remember the Alamo. 🫡

It’s me at Ranger school during the OPORD. Gotta have some discipline. Get up and stand in the back with all the other sleepers!

I would also like to age with dignity in New England.
Are you an older penguin looking to age with dignity? The New England Aquarium in Boston might be the place for you.

The aquarium has a geriatric island for endangered penguins that have exceeded their life expectancy and need a little extra care. https://wapo.st/3Lobf5N

Maybe we write a few laws to put the U.S. government on auto-pay.

Same story but for military VIP aircraft. Rampant and well known abuse.
