Oldie but still my favorite to watch uber liberal ANTIFA nutbags get the frying pan to the face. I want the sound as my ringtone.

Everyone was doing it.

Maybe I missed it, thought this would have been posted. Hegseth steps in: Pete Hegseth Swiftly Lifts Suspension of Pilots Who Flew by Kid Rock’s House: ‘Carry on, Patriots’ I hope this doesn't turn into a slippery slope. I know a T-38 pilot at Edwards is currently facing an FEB for flying over his house at 200' and doing an aileron roll over the town.

Additionally, I would assume that Trump was advised and approved of the targeting. I don't see how one President could unilaterally limit another President with an EO given they hold the same office.

Well, if you're being paid to wear a chicken suit...

In a word, no. That EO, and the whole series it's part of, don't restrict the DOD. They restrict the intelligence community. Nothing stops the military from targeting a head of state - or literally anyone else - if they are declared a legal target / combatant. Not sure where this whole "the military can't kill certain people" idea has come from. Probably news organizations like CNN, NBC, ABC, et al who just clip one-liners from EOs and use them to promote narratives which support their own motives.

I was leaving it to Biff. More his space. It was inevitable. FFS

I won't, here ya go.

Cue Kristi Noem's husband... ('ll spare everyone the photos). No wonder she got canned. Both parties are fucking terrible.

I would say they’re heavily medicated…but then again I would hope some good/proper meds would work, so I don’t know.

No surprise. Maybe some coalition building was needed before pickling missiles. Oh wait, we got a 747. Saulgoodman. Maybe Trump tells em to get in the game or he takes out the power grid, then the neighbors can deal with a medieval times failed state. Meanwhile he's angry with other long term allies, like UK, for not wanting to participate. That should have been part of the decision process as they gamed this out, art of the deal and all. My guess is, as long as its just us and Isreal, this thing will drag on. If the whole ME piles on and starts to beat the shit out of the bully, white flags might pop up. Or not, zealots and all. Break I received one of those texts to a survey. The questions were slanted towards support of current actions for Israel's sake. Not 1 question on nuclear threats. Lastly, I pondered an interesting item. EO12333 against assassination. Should the EO have kept us from participating in bombing the Supreme Leader/staff? Not that any rule, order, or law keeps Trump in check, and I have done 0 research, but just wondering out loud.

The DNC must be so proud... AQPIuVmkhI4ubOU8DVsUsTipnc4tnmdql4OJMl2BYtvapxXKtQ8WuVLxryAPb2A7oOoH7EmKthCT8XPNbPByg0n3ESNcQ9h4mtBzxiV7I19U6A.mp4

When the Italians give us military advice, we'd better listen. I mean its not like they've lost every war they've ever fought in the last 1500+ years.... oh wait, they have.

It does, but you no longer have to pay the $200!

Epically funny and scary at the same time, a glimpse of what the current DNC wants to bring to America. My first thought when some of them spoke was "this can't be real"....but it is! Lectured on how they hold their "equity card"...this is the modern Democratic Party.

Meanwhile our allies int he region who have felt the threat of current Iran for 50 years are asking us to finish the job - Gulf allies privately make the case to Trump to keep fighting until Iran is decisively defeated.

Italy cuts us off from using Sigonella to help Israel. Meloni is revealing herself as the modern day Mussolini with these Radical Laws.

Respect. I have no issue with people asking questions as Americans or whatever. Nor do I have a problem with contrarian opinions so long as they're defended in good faith. If I had my way, Ron Paul would be the President and a lot of other things about the way we conduct ourselves in the world would be different. So as a philosophical matter I agree that in the best of all possible worlds, Congress would not have abdicated its war-making responsibility, and we'd have a functioning government. At some point in my career, though, I looked at the way things actually worked, and began to come to terms with the imperfect way things work. That doesn't make it right, but it does make it above my pay grade. What I would put to you or anyone else out there is the question you seemed to be asking was an important one, but one we as officers don't get to deal with. It's the distinction between jus in bello vs jus ad bellum. We have every right and responsibility to question jus in bello. Questioning jus ad bellum is outside our lane as military officers. We benefit from being and having critical thinkers in the military. I pointed out what I thought was an inconsistency in the approach to the argument and what my thoughts are. Cheers.

So, does a Javelin fall under AOW or Destructive Device under the NFA? Need that tax stamp!

Delusions about our capabilities and influence are the first step toward getting into these kinds of disastrous long haul slogs. That you would even bring it up signals a level of hubris that I think seriously clouds your strategic thinking.

It's an internet forum dude. While I have had some/many antagonistic posts on here, this wasn't one and I really tried to frame it that way. I know we don't all agree, even among you guys that are for the Iran engagement. But I ain't trying to live in a echo chamber, so that's why I phrased the question that way and put in my 2 cents. I'm thought it was pretty clear I was asking for everyone's opinion, I guess not. Easy way out of your answer for Iraq and Afghanistan - we had a AUMF and allies that fought along side us. But, I thought about it all the time in the end it was a big contributor to me retiring when I did. I legit prayed a lot about it. Finally, I'm an American so I can and will question everything. I'm sure some of you gents/ladies think I lap up everything the DNC drops outta its ass, but I don't. I thought questioning the government was the whole point of this country? Thanks for the responses, enjoyed the reading.
