Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

I can say as a former Navy ship driver, yes it's unfathomable. The whole program of using our Navy this way is warped and detestable. The command is under special forces, hopefully not the surface warfare guys. Utterly demoralizing to see the command give or take orders to shoot survivors at sea.

A comment from an American treasure, on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation’s nominally-top diplomat.
Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

That was just before Helsinki in July 2018, folks…Think about this: in Helsinki, Putin casually mentions to Trump he talked to his old friend Epstein recently 😉 and what a nice guy he is 😉. Trump shits his pants. Then this happens.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

How times change.
NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.
