Hegseth, who have the order to “kill them all,” AND the soldiers who illegally killed the survivors should be charged and tried. It’s time to underscore the video’s message that illegal orders are ILLEGAL, and you will be prosecuted if you carry them out
So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

There are no press releases during the shutdown, making it difficult to find this kind of news.
But the AK Air/Army National Guards, and the USCG, are conducting SAR operations. The flooding is in remote areas, and affecting primarily small villages, it appears.

There has never been a better opportunity for Democrats to come out pro-military. The military has skewed republican for a long time, but Trump and Hegseth just shook military leadership, and many soldiers, HARD. Now is the time to let them know that Democrats care for them
