As a Heathen I honor multiple gods but two of the ones I feel closest to are Freyja, the goddess who embodies love, sex, and war, and Eir, the goddess who embodies health and healing. Their relationship with me means a lot and I can't be who I am without them. #Pagan #Heathen #NorseMythology

The National Guard shooting in DC is a tragedy, especially when you consider that there’s ZERO reason for them to be there.

We transported a kid with croup to the hospital a month or so ago and if you've never heard a child struggling to breathe then I guarantee you getting them vaccinated is a whole lot better than watching them die.
Unbelievable.
Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

When you don't really have a codified formal foreign policy, you can just let anyone write it for you.
Russians are literally writing US foreign policy, they have more power projection in DC than in Kyiv LMAO

If you haven't read ADP 6-22 or AR 600-20 (Army Command Policy) where it lays out obeying legal and moral orders, you need to. It's what professionals do.
Army Doctrine Publication 6-22 (Army Leadership and the Profession) says to disobey unlawful orders.
Immoral ones too.
Do what's right. That's the standard.

Reminding military service members that they cannot obey illegal orders is not in and of itself illegal.

Imagine being the head of the largest military in the world and you threaten a sitting Senator with a "uniform inspection." We still don't have any signed national security documents, Pete.

Never trust someone who knows all they have to do is ask forgiveness for something they will continue to do over and over.

Again, for the gazillionth time, Russia is purposefully targeting civilians while "negotiating" for a peace deal. Why we are even engaging with Putin and his war criminal regime is beyond comprehension.
⚡️Update: Fires reported in Kyiv amid Russian drone, missile attack on Ukraine.
In Pecherskyi district, several multistory residential buildings were damaged & caught fire, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Earlier, Kyiv Independent journalists reported drones in the neighborhood.

Not sure I've heard any Democrat call for the abolition of SOF, in any capacity. Does the SOF community need a mental and cultural rework and readjustment? Yup. Should they be disbanded? Nope.
You - yes, you Ds specifically - will need SOF & just because the SEALs have cultivated a far right internal culture it doesn’t warrant disbanding a critical strategic asset.
75RR is fine. Others too.
Infantry can’t do HR, hard target defeat, sensitive SI. Stop claiming it can, it’s wishcasting.

Never presume shit. If your commander says "smoke that guy" you better be damn certain who "that guy" is and why he's getting canoed. No order is ever automatically legal.

Any peace deal that doesn't include Russia leaving all of Ukraine should be a non-starter. End of negotiations.

Leave it to an out of touch, MTV reality show asshole to think how people dress is what's wrong with the airline travel experience.
Q: Passengers say you're putting the onus on passengers to create a more pleasant air travel experience. What are you doing immediately on your end to help?
DUFFY: In the end, it's my responsibility to behave well. I can't offload that to anybody else. How I dress? I can't blame anybody else.

If you are an EMT or paramedic and sedate someone ICE/DHS is kidnapping, you are complicit. You are also a giant asshole. Looking at you Northeast Fire & Rescue.
Local police officers and sheriffs in Mobile, Alabama, are abducting a man from the waiting room of a car dealership mechanic shop on behalf of ICE/DHS. During the kidnapping, he is administered an unidentified sedative.

This is absolutely NOT in the oath that we took. Like at all.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

We tried to figure all this out with the Human Dimension focus of warfare in mid to late GWOT, but it never really caught on. War is always a human thing and understanding humans is a key aspect.
My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.
When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.
