The U.S. Military is controlled by Drunks, Incompetents, Traitors and War Criminals for the amusement of racist twitter trolls

Since we don't know all the details and exact make-up of the US Navy 4th Fleet Task Force for "Operation Southern Spear", I'm guessing the MQ-9 Reaper drone was launched from the USS Iwo Jima but, whatever platform is revealed to have launched the attacks it's clear the survivors posed zero threat and could not have done anything to harm anyone and if not rescued were likely to have perished at sea. 

 After the initial strike two survivors floated on top of ship wreckage for 41 minutes, miles away from the nearest Arleigh Burke DDG-destroyer screening vessel for the Fleet, and thousands of miles away from the US coast, and Tom Cotton had the gall audacity to claim they were still "they could stay in the fight" and thus the second strike (in contravention of every fucking law of war and international rules of the sea) was legal.

"I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight." This panga style boat (a classic used by drug smugglers) doesn't have a deck gun, and the men on-board were armed with small arms at best with weapons and ammo of dubious functionality.  Apparently, after surviving the first strike these two men clung to the overturned boat and upon hearing the US military drone and or spotter plane loitering began to wave perhaps in the vain hope they might be rescued.   Instead they were summarily executed.

Tom Cotton thinks We, the People are stupid and knows his MAGA base (as evidenced above) are bloodthirsty murderers.  "Righteous strikes. Entirely lawful."  When asked by Kristen Welker about the men waving a shirt while the US military loitered above them, Cotton replied,  "Or it could've been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo..."

These comments are fucking outrageous.  Fucking insulting.  And I have to conclude Cotton made them in order to incite violence and with the hope of civil disturbance at home so he can order murderous military strikes on the American people, one of Tom Cotton's favorite things to write about.

What should never be misunderstood about all these actions is the Republicans absolutely believe, without a shred of doubt or introspection and with no fear, they will never pay any price for their actions.  And if in some future date, as a result of this, violence is visited upon future as yet unborn Americans well that's their problem.  

We have to keep the pressure up because you know the Corporate Media is eager to leave behind the September 2nd war crime (Boring! Happened months ago! Not news anymore!) just like they want to cover up, ignore, and de-platform every crime Traitor Trump and his treasonous cabal of co-conspirators are involved in, up to and including Trump's rape of children along with his bosom buddy Jeffrey Epstein.

Remember the Corporate Media doesn't even mention The Signalgate Fiasco anymore! War Criminal Pete Hegseth flubbed this so badly earlier this year, and as the Republicans lied their way through that debacle it got worse and worse the more we found out.  Do you remember?

Vance and Hegseth eventually claimed they kept Trump out of the loop and didn't even tell Trump about this military action against some guys hiding in caves in Yemen.  But, President Joe Biden autopen ho ho ho!  and as Jake Tapper points out 79 year olds fall asleep all the time, what's the big deal!?!?! 

This unimaginable violation of of classified operational security, besides giving us a glimpse of how grotesque the use of the military was going to be and the slapdash haphazard inattentive attitude of Hegseth et al, put American lives at risk and I have no fucking doubt this mission and details of US capabilities were directly and purposefully shared with Russia.

MAGA Face is a serious mental health issue

But, the MAGA Pentagon Press having learned at Trump's knee simply claimed the Inspector General's report, which in fact damns Hegseth as a drunken clumsy incompetent buffoon, totally 100% exonerates him it was perfect.  Laura Loomer newly installed with Child Rapist Matt Gaetz in the Pentagon confirmed this to the MAGA faithful.

But, don't worry off the record Hegseth is brilliant and communicative, so says the sycophant MAGA stenographers but, no you can't read it.

I fully expect the Trump cabal to try and release more things to distract from the murders they've committed and appear to be fully prepared to commit more murders as Trump et al continues to enshittify the entire Nation.  The Republican Party is a murder-suicide cult and they fully intend to make all of us as guilty as they and if things look begin to look bleak for them Republicans fully intend to immolate the Nation and all of Us.

Additional:

Understand the September 2nd "double-tap" (how gross is it we have to use euphemisms to talk about War Crimes committed by our government?) wasn’t the only illegal action conducted by Traitor Trump and Hagueseth!  On October 17 another attack on a civilian boat resulted in survivors but these were rescued from the water and taken into custody as the US Navy knew the earlier “KILL THEM ALL” orders from Pete were illegal but as the Navy documented these two they realized were not “narco-terrorists” so the Navy deleted all the video evidence of their crimes.

I am totally incensed by this story.  The Navy personal did the "right" thing after blowing up this boat by taking the two survivors into custody and treating them as POWs, thus affording them the rights and protections required by the Geneva conventions despite apparent disagreement from the fucking Marines, who apparently reached out to someone higher up;

    According to a confidential document shared with us by an anonymous source, there was an immediate disagreement to even begin the photo and video documentation of the detainee processing. Shipboard personnel insisted on documenting, referring to standing policy on detainee onboarding procedure. The Marines who brought the detainees on board pushed back, citing the word of the Commodore that video and photography were prohibited.

    The Public Affairs Officer prevailed and documentation ensued, both photo and video.  But less than two hours later, the order came down for that footage to be deleted. All of it.  Our anonymous source states that after much deliberation and conferring with JAG, the order was confirmed: delete all video and photographic documentation of the detainees. The shipboard personnel recorded their objections via a written statement after following through with the order.

There are a lot of crimes occurring throughout the United States Government right now.  If, we ever manage to remove the Traitor Trump regime from power, an enormous amount of energy is going to have to be expended documenting and punishing them as We, also try to rebuild what they've destroyed.  I don't know if this is going to or if it can be accomplished.
