Rules of warfare, military discipline, and respect for human rights? Oaths to the Constitution?
Hegseth calls them “the monkey on your back.”

The author describes “militant Democracy,” which, in my opinion needs to be combined with what Terry Pratchett calls “militant decency.”

Seems to have the same general purport as “Have at them!”
See below, in the context of an archaic military command to attack: Could it be originally “Havoc them!”?

Is the post below a description of a “civilized” man?

This is the explanation for males in primitive societies punishing female encroachment on their rituals with death.
For instance, the couvade, a ritual performance of men imitating labor and childbirth, was fearfully sacred, because if watched with a satirical eye it would descend into low comedy.

Trump’s grandfather was deported from Bavaria by royal decree, for evading military service.
As an immigrant, he survived by running a hotel brothel in the Yukon, a shady if not criminal enterprise.

I hope, but I do not expect, Trump to observe the decencies when speaking of this pretty young woman.
He doesn’t know how to behave. Here he is “consoling” another young woman in the wake of tragedy.
