Nice of the Germans not to name him in the article, so he may live it down.

Nice thing about pre-social media/Internet: You could do stupid things as a kid/YA and not have it follow you forever.

100%. This one isn't even a close question.

Takes a room-temperature IQ to have not seen this buttfuck coming.

Russian tools do what they have to, I guess.

Nice touch that he’s trying to defend Kegseth without defending doing war crimes.

And they should be, all the way down to the pilot or NFO/WSO that launched the missile.

Lesson 1: Don’t do war crimes.

Lesson 2: If ordered to do a war crime, review Lesson 1.

Lesson 3: If you do a war crime, the politicians who ordered it will throw you to the wolves..

Ok, we’re done.

What the fuck is there to “consider”? Are we going to condone war crimes or prosecute them?

We can’t always push responsibility down on some dumb 2nd LT.

No doubt about that.

Spoken like someone who is unaware, willfully or not, that things were vastly different in the 1920s-50s.

The Brits are wrong.

Maybe the question "do you want to go down in history as one who helped cover up war crimes" should be asked.

But Russian attacks on civilian energy infrastructure is just peachy, apparently.

Fuck those guys. Hit the katsaps where it hurts.

Hegseth runs around like a 19-year O-4 in a dead-end/placeholder billet who is desperately trying to avoid forced retirement.
