Most people who never served or took the oath can comprehend how much courage it takes to stand up to your "superiors" in situations like these. Most often, you would be standing alone at first, maybe for the duration. The very foundation of military discipline demands obedience. It's not easy.
Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—
I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

An alcohol-induced stupor isn't 'fog of war'
A soldier with a weapon in hand taking consistent enemy fire is what creates the "fog of war".
Not a television in an air-conditioned room watching someone else do the dirty work.
Pete Hegseth is a murderer. Period.

Hegseth, citing ‘fog of war,’ says he learned of survivors hours after strike
The defense secretary’s remarks were the most extensive public accounting yet of his involvement in the military’s lethal attack on alleged drug smugglers on Sept. 2.

He’s rejecting disaster aid out of spite, just because he feels like it. His decision will cost impacted residents tens of millions of dollars and threatens our rural utility providers’ future.

I'm so grateful for Kelly's leadership on this and I think he's doing a good job keeping up the pressure on Trump.
But, Democrats always say things like "Trump doesn't understand the constitution" when they should say "Trump opposes the constitution."

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState
