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.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

New in PN: Trump's ugly Thanksgiving meltdown
"Trump is always vile & erratic, but spewing slurs on Thanksgiving feels like an escalation even for him. It suggests he’s desperate to find his Reichstag Fire — a violent incident he can use to rally his supporters & as an excuse to target his foes."

I love the "openness" of Trump as he plods along, having no clue about the "tells" that he shares every hour of every day about his dementia, his ignorance, his intolerance, his racism, his thin skin, his ineptitude, his struggle to say complete sentences, etc. And it is effortless for him.
"Trump has been functioning as a dictator...but it’s a vulnerable dictatorship. Virtually none of these abuses are popular with the American people...and it’s coming home to roost for Trump."
On the pod, @davidrlurie.com is good on Trump as weak, failing autocrat:
