Hmm...bit of a problem with Hegseth's latest excuse.
The original WaPo report said survivors were visible on the live video feed within "minutes" of the first strike, not 1-2 hours later as Hegseth claims (i.e., conveniently after he "left the room").

They were The Simpsons 40-50 years before The Simpsons were The Simpsons -- grown-ups using animation to create absurdist comedy and irreverent/iconoclastic social and cultural satire for other grown-ups. It wasn't until decades later that they were repurposed as Saturday morning kids' fare...
