Kenek Bautista Torres has high-support needs #autism. Without access to therapy, his mother said he would hit himself, cry through the night and beg her to let him return to his school in Louisiana. His mother worries about how much he may have regressed β€” and whether the trauma will linger.

And all future enemies. China. Russia. North Korea. They will show no mercy now that gloves are off. No one is safe. It’s all a video game to Hegseth and his War Boys. Grown men thinking Immortan Joe is the hero in Mad Max Fury Road.

He seems to forget that once you announce you're dropping the rules of engagement, your enemy has now basically been given permission to do the exact same thing right back at you.

He's making everything worse.

I do love the fact that, given it's Hegseth, it's equally plausible that he's announcing that the US military will execute prisoners of war as policy or that he just doesn't know what "no quarter" means

he is an actor. It’s the greatest reality shtsho on earth. Not a competent govt agent among them. Not one moral fiber between all of them. They shunned integrity to pledge allegiance to a pedo/pos and hav no problem destroying democracy to keep him.

Apparently we no longer follow International Engagement War parameters. You know the "Geneva Convention".

This idiot Kegbreath is TOTALLY onboard with the "Rapture" crap the officers are telling their soldiers. With the President brain dead essentially, he's unfettered - just playing out all fantasies: GI Joe cosplay and using Book of Revelations as a playbook.

Trump wants to commit atrocities both abroad and at home. We need him out of this office.

Even declaring that you will " give no quarter" is a War crime! Since
1907.

"even the declaration of no quarter"

as Trump reportedly considers sending ground troops in to open the straight of hormuz, it's worth remembering how much extra, unnecessary danger it puts US troops in to preemptively declare "we will murder soldiers who surrender to us" (which is what "no quarter" means)

These fools miss the obvious.
They say they're winning.
Nailing those direct hits, running out of targets...

It’s awful that they exist among us at all.

It’s catastrophic that there are so many more insensitive, immature idiots among us who put these particular insensitive, immature idiots in charge of our country.

The White House turning war and death into content mimicking video games is a moral collapse, not a messaging strategy. War is not a game!

EPIC FAIL

Funny, how Donald Trump only listens to good advice when someone *else* is president.

What I take away from this the most is that this woman is credulous in a way that should be disqualifying for judicial office.

I feel the same way.
My mom told me a psychiatrist told her shortly after they married that she should divorce him.
Their was one, (possibly more), instance where my dad threw his arm at her while he was sleeping..thinking she was the enemy.
They were married 65 yrs. Mom should have had his πŸ’œ.

The only thing prohibiting Iranians from not breathing toxic air, watching their loved ones get slaughtered and destroying regional stability is Pete Hegseth and Benjamin Netanyahu.
