Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 Pete

As a high schooler I remember, in the bad years in Iraq, PBS News Hour would end each night with the names of the fallen.

To say their names is to bear witness. To remember. And all wars are fought twice…

Pentagon identifies 4 soldiers killed by Iranian attack The four Army Reserve soldiers were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command based out of Des Moines, Iowa.

Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; and Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa

Honor the dead.

oh 'bridge, Mr. Colby Jack, what tangled webs we weave

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

fun fact: speaking of Mahan, did you know he was Episcopalian?

150 years later, meat falls from the sky again in this Kentucky county The Kentucky Meat Shower Festival was held over the weekend in Bath County, commemorating a strange occurrence in Kentucky.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 1876 Kentucky Meat Shower, a small plane dropped “1,876 mini meat-sticks” over the county this weekend. (Today is the actual anniversary, though.)

And people say we live in the worst possible timeline.

That’s incredible. What a world we live in. Genuinely. That’s insane. And we celebrate it to this day. God I love this country.

YES! That’s what I was thinking of.

I was gonna look it up but I bet there’s some folks of a certain age who could school me… there’s a famous tv bit about like a radio station and they are dropping like frozen turkeys or something and it becomes a real problem? This reminded me of that

Former fighter pilots explain what it's like to eject, following Kuwait shoot downs After six Air Force flyers ejected following friendly fire incidents over Kuwait, these former fighter pilots explain what that's like.

Have heard the same

As weird as it is, the marine corps just gets geeked up for war. They don’t much bring the Jesus. Don’t get me wrong there were some. But generally the marine corps was its own religion separate from Christianity. They see it as a chance to break stuff and that’s all they need.

This is so accurate. Real ones know. The Air Force is weird.

They get so much less insufferable after major.

Took years of persistence, but we are finally free to court disaster freely, and immediately, based on one man’s caprice.

And there is nothing stopping the worst from happening. Nothing to blunt the wild swings.

We’ll find out just how ignorant they are.

It’s impressive how thoroughly the guardrails have been dismantled.

Wait — IRGC control of the country was the plan?!?

So much Galula quoting back in those years.

Unironic 1984 posting.

Never thought I’d see the day.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Veterans ‘split’ over Iran strikes. Some see payback, others see another ‘forever war’ President Donald Trump has said military operations against Iran could last four to five weeks — or longer. Veterans have heard this before.

"Founding Fathers left the role of going to war in the hands of Congress, to ensure the American people had a voice in matters of foreign policy: It is essential the elected leaders in Washington debate and vote on these actions in line with the Constitution."

How long you and I been tweeting the same shit, Diva? Every time.

Too goddamn long.

Flying fuck palace
Dni PNG
Five watergates a day

I agree with the content but what’s more, this post really sings Mike

The director of homeland security purchased a flying fuck palace, the DNI is PNG as well as MIA, the SecState is already prepping war with Cuba and POTUS averages five watersgate per day.

I’m shocked and heartbroken at the callousness and capriciousness with which this man speaks about sending other’s children to war and their deaths. When there are no ROEs or boundaries, allies end up killing each other. Every American should be furious. May their memories be a blessing.

I feel that deeply.

“Shit mist” is absolutely incredible.
