That tracks.

There's probably never been a war without any war crimes. While the US military has prosecuted and convicted US war criminals in courts martial, it hardly prosecutes every instance, and sometimes there's been encouragement not to from the top (eg in the GWOT).

But this is next level.

Man…I know I shouldn’t have…but laughed way too hard at this…

There are (should be at least) a lot of RPA crews at Bragg, Hurlburt, and Shaw that are thinking hard about what they’re doing..

This was no different than gunning an adversary pilot in his/her chute.

The General knows the next Dem administration won’t have the stones to prosecute him or anyone in uniform over this.

I keep going back to my deployment story the other day…and the ease with which a TF O-3 completely bypassed the entire CENTCOM targeting authority and ordered a strike w/in two minutes of being told it was being worked…

WaPo with reporting that Pete gave an explicit order to JSOC during the first strike post impact to immediately follow up in order to, and I quote, "kill them all"

No they are not, and not one of them likely has the spine to come after “the troops” for just following orders…

Because that is what every media outlet will say they are doing…going after “the troops.”

You have to try.

We explicitly tell our pilots (often in a joking manner…because who would) that you don’t gun a pilot in his parachute…

Apparently SECDEF and JSOC have no such reservations…

Fucking hell man…

We explicitly tell (and often joke) with our pilots about not gunning a dude when he’s in his parachute.

Apparently SECDEF and JSOC have no such compunctions.

“As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.”

They won’t be prosecuted by the next Dem admin. But they fucking should be…

We don’t gun down survivors.

There also wasn’t indoor plumbing or mechanical refrigeration…

Maybe things don’t need to stay the same…

Thankful that most of those bastards haven’t shown up on my feed…yet…

Everyone with two functioning neurons and without direct investment know that Andruil and Palantir products are buggy shit…

But so much of the leadership are just fucking are up by their SV bullshit.

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

This makes me sick…

I know it’s not treason, but damned if it doesn’t feel like it.
