Iowa born and bred. Go Hawkeyes! The most interesting thing about me is my interest in legal ethics, so...

He's already claimed that Biden depleted the arsenal by giving it to Ukraine for free. Of course, it was replaced at a rate that maintains our strategic needs.

IOW, the US is running short of critical weaponry, just like the Pentagon brass warned would happen

It just occurred to me that he's not been capriciously throwing billion kajillion percent tariffs at countries that offend him. Dude picked the wrong time to go into forced tariff withdrawal. May explain that weird rash on his neck

As far as I'm concerned, they should regulate crypto to the hilt, like any financial product. With online gambling, I'm afraid they can never put the genie back in the bottle. Picking and choosing which potentially destructive vices to prohibit is tough to pull off.

They'll slither back in line eventually

The percentage may be higher,but it seems like the Venn diagrams of crypto/gambling obsessed young men and progressive,politically engaged young men would have minimal overlap.Also seems like progressive,politically engaged women would tend to disapprove of Dems suddenly going all in on those things

That's nothing. I used to regularly drop a decade, now it's two or three. I used to try indexing via my kids' ages, but now they've grown too old

Some weeks that would have numbered in the hundreds, IIRC. On CBS Evening News Walter Cronkite would read out the casualty figures, but not the names, on Thursdays. I assume the other networks did the same

They, but it's delayed pending notification of next of kin with some delay thereafter so they aren't immediately besieged by the news media

The ABC Sunday morning show did it during the Iraq and Afghanistan engagements. AFAIK, they only stopped when the casualties stopped.

Hopefully you are not implying that these fallen service members were following illegal orders.

He fantasized that #2 or #3 would just plug in, like in Venezuela. IOW, he DGAF about the Iranian people. The only way this makes sense is he's been promised huge bribes from the Saudis and maybe other Arab states. Not that it has to make sense

Well, yeah, because their legal position is weak. Now they still look weak but also incompetent

Maybe Trump hopes that if a few more American service members die for no articulable reason there will be a rallying effect.

So elegant to tie killing a puppy into a critique of Noem's "leadership style" without making it look like outright trolling. Only thing missing is the goat

DOJ reversed itself on the law firm EO appeals. Guaranteed way not to be taken seriously

I’m just positing whether every violation of international or domestic law is a β€œwar crime” for purposes of UCMJ. Something for lawyers steeped in the field to hash over. For senior officers, a miscue may be career-ending but I’m more concerned with rank & file personnel facing criminal liability

My daughter was accepted to elite universities which we could have funded but chose to attend USMA and become an Army officer because she has a service ethos.A high percentage of her classmates were similarly situated.Few I met did it for the goal of β€œfree” college. Easier ways to fund an education

Or a JAG officer who is also under the command of the person who gave that order

Seems like he's screwed either way. He's either complicit or a pathetic nonentity

A massive payoff from one or more mideast potentates makes more sense than anything else
