Hegseth in his briefing declared that the US will show "no quarter"... a violation of the terms of the Geneva Convention. Are we also to presume that if the US behaves in this manner, then our adversaries are also free to do likewise? Will captured US military be tortured and executed? ... shown "no quarter"?
That's my take on it. Any US prisoners are now in mortal danger. The Iranians could kill every soldier on the battlefield, even if they are surrendering. They may even point to the school destroyed by our missiles as justification.
We need to remember that Epstein was suicided in 2019, also on the Trump admin watch.
Don Huffines, that candidate for Texas comptroller who beat out 8 other contenders in the Republican primary earlier this month, bought Zorro Ranch at auction under an LLC and was planning to turn it into a religious retreat. His son Russell works for the White House.
I give up on trying to anticipate how totally screwed up the current administration is. Every flipping time I think they have hit an all-time, historic low, somebody in that crew of misfits says or does something that proves me wrong. It is as if there is no bottom with them, no low act or words they can't easily sink beneath. The ONE thing they definitely excel at is LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING, whether the lie covers for them or not. It really feels as if you need to fact check them when they tell you their name, because you can't trust a darn thing they say.
So the Iranian Navy, which both Don and Pete have said they have destroyed, is the only thing blocking traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. Pretty sure we all knew that guys, the question I have on this topic is how do you define destroyed?
Like every other word they use, it means whatever they want it to be. The Iranian Navy ships were tied up to the piers as missile sponges. No one was on board. Their real naval strength lies in thousands of small boats dropping mines and acting as suicide bombs. Cheap naval drones, mobile missiles, and artillery round it out. This will be a "wet Afghanistan" for us.
Kegseth never ceases to amaze me with his stupidity, lack of knowledge, immaturity, and total inappropriateness of his position. If he weren't in such an influential and important position, he would simply be a laughable buffoon. But because he is that, he is very, very dangerous.

He said last time that we obliterated their military and missiles, so what are they using now to fight? If as he said " We won! We won!", why does he continue to spend $890 million A DAY on a war no one knows why we're fighting? Thank you to all who've supported this lying POS. Because he hates the people you hate, we all have to suffer.
About Rob De Thomas’ comment: I had a similar question after our “victories” in Iraq and Afghanistan and the capture and murder of Osama bin Laden. Why did we spend another decade after Osama, and two after the “victories”—not to mention thousands of lives and trillions of dollars—continuing to fight?

The only word I have is SNAFU. It totally describes this administration.
Happy (belated) birthday, Brian!
