Among the great features of New England is that the snakes know their place. And that place is outside somewhere under a rock. And none of them are venomous.

We could have done with a nice rest to catch up on all the awful, document it, and come to terms with it as a country. But somehow he kept doing awful and nobody has been able to catch up. That account that tweeted things from four years ago really helped me in grasping how intense the firehouse was

Thing is, Cotton served, so I think he knows this and just doesn't care.
I will say, the fact that these guys aren't combatants already and their boat is just a boat. With no weapons. It becomes tricky to figure out when they're hors de combat when they were never, uh, de combat in the first place.

I kind of don't want us to see it though... Some will glory in the depravity, most won't understand that what they're seeing is a war crime instead of a normal terrible thing.
