1. This is not how anyone talks to an O-10.

2. This is certainly not how a 40 year-old ex-O-4 talks to an O-10.

3. This is the most dumbshit company grade officer crap imaginable. No competent commander tells a senior officer not to ask questions.

4. He may as well have called Holsey "boy."

Trump’s insults, tantrums, and threats have exploded.

He’s losing control over what he says, descending into angry, venomous, often dangerous territory.

A filterless president who says anything that comes into his head poses a unique danger. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/age-and-inhibition

Any thoughts on the take (Phillip Bump) that because there was no public declaration on war until after the boat bombings became public, and this was the first such bombing, the victims could not possibly have understood they were in a war zone.
