I want Admiral Bradley to know that I admire him greatly and will support him completely, and if he could just lie on the pavement for a minute longer, I need to put this bus in reverse and then into drive just one more time.
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

It's interesting to think about the types of regimes that in the past, and still to this day, are paranoid about "color revolutions".
In the past "colour revolutions" were generally seen as a good thing by Americans
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

One of the things prosecutors must show in a murder trial is the defendant's intent. Intent can be tricky to prove, so one day a lawyer or two will thank Pete Hegseth for proving it for them. He's smart that way.
