I needed to be reminded of this today!
This is still my #1 favorite video, btw. There’s a version that’s just an hour loop of it and the longer I watch it, the funnier it gets. If the meteor is about to hit and we’re all going to die, I’ll just sit and watch this until I’m vaporized. youtu.be/JXnjD5-xpHY?...

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
