I have to believe the six Democrats who posted the video about not obeying illegal orders knew that an order was given to kill the survivors of that boat strike. Because at the time it seemed to kind of come out of nowhere. It’s kind of indirectly confirming the reporting.

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

Trump's overt-the-top response to Kelly and others has helped elevate their status. I've no doubt that they now have more legitimate concerns about their safety, but they've shown how picking a fight with Trump is good politics.

Doesn’t this rhetoric sound familiar?

In 1947, the U.S. Army released "Don't Be a Sucker" to show how a nation can be divided, reminding Americans that prejudice isn't natural and is created by those who gain from it.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Ahead of the 2020 election, we asked people in prison what might have helped keep them from committing the crime that led to their incarceration.

Among their responses were:
• affordable housing
• a stable, well-paying job
• mental health support
What Could Have Kept Me Out of Prison
We asked people behind bars what services and programs could have changed the course of their lives. Therapy, affordable housing and a living wage topped the list.
