€120 Million is insufficient to force a change in behavior. They need to add 3 zeros if they want to be taken seriously.
By analogy, how many people would worry about parking illegally if the fine was only 10 cents? Add 3 zeros, make it $100, rules get followed.

Why are they afraid of "everything"?
Women
Vaccines
Billionaires
School shooters
Contrails
People Who Tan
Pasteurized Milk
Windmills
Russians
5G Cellphones
Non-cisgender people
Education
AOC
etc
It's almost like they're really not Alphas.

There are better options than Jefferies.
Like, maybe, a lead-from-the-front type who would spend their time traveling the country talking to 10s of thousands of people in dozens of standing room only venues...

Nobody earning on a military pay chart will rate a pardon. They will be left to fend for themselves as the suckers and losers he proclaimed them to be.
In this case, those descriptors are earned.

"They may find out down the road...?"
Does the military no longer do pre-deployment Law of Land (Sea/Air) Warfare, Geneva Convention, and ROE?

They knew it was wrong in real time.
