Dave also said we couldn't stop immigration. It's been this way since the 70s. Look what happened. I think the unserious people like civ and Dave need to be ignored, which thankfully it seems this administration is doing.
Civ wants to jail special forces leaders for killing narco terrorists because he's mentally ill. These people no longer deserve a seat at the table.
LOL @ "wants to jail special forces leaders." Um, no.
It's like whack-a-mole in here.
This whole conversation started because y'all were tantruming that Congressional ex-servicemembers had the audacity to cite a portion of the UCMJ on video that reminded servicemembers of their right and obligation to follow the Constitution, and not illegal orders.
Then when only a couple of weeks later it became patently obvious why the Seditious 6 said what they did, when communication surfaced that pointed to Captain Underpants out there ordering extrajudicial double-taps on drug runners that posed no imminent threat to the US, y'all want to talk about "wanting to jail special forces leaders."
How about just "wanting Trump and GI Joe to not operate like they're above the law."
Are drug runners above the law?
Of course not. Apprehend them, try them, and punish them.
Preemptively executing them when it may not be certain that they're even committing a crime we have jurisdiction over ain't the way.
[sigh]….ISR…google it, for the last GD time.
So what gives us the authority and jurisdiction to execute the alleged perps clinging to the side of a boat in international waters 1000 miles away from America's shores?
The legality of this policy is so ironclad that the head of SouthCom resigned over it? You don't think he knew about the ISR for this operation?
The department changed their policy after the double tap and are now conducting operations differently. Why would they do that if it was legal and authorized? Think maybe they knew they screwed up?
Why are Trump, Hegseth, Leavitt, and everyone else with a pulse in the administration passing the buck down the chain of command?
Even the most basic level of scrutiny of the facts surrounding this situation leads to the conclusion this was a colossal **** up, and Trump and Hegseth know it.
