Article 94 could apply to anyone disobeying a lawful order… it’s not going to apply to the person sending the message…

Article 88 (contempt toward an official) or 133 (conduct unbecoming) would likely be the easiest to make stick… but those are both Pandora’s box actions…

At the end of the day, who really gives a shit?

IF troops start disobeying lawful orders, the troops will be court marshaled, and the R’s will have a great position to stand on as we near the elections (idiot D members of congress haven put the military in a position where it is having to imprison service members because of their childish antics)…

If they disobey unlawful orders… well… that’s what they’re supposed to do…

And if neither happens… then it’s just another case of bloviated moronic members of our government grandstanding..

The sooner we stop giving a shit about kabuki theater, the sooner it will end..

Personally I hope the D’s continue to kneel in the rotunda, wear African garb, call everyone a racist, nazi, and a fascist rather than engage in meaningful debate.. all that bullshit is what’s gotten them where they are..

If they start acting sensible, they may take back one or both houses in November..

I much prefer when D’s put loud mouth non sensical idiots in front of the spotlight..

Same thing unless I'm doing something wrong.

Maybe being out side of Canada set up a paywall?

Norway Wins First Place in USAREUR-AF’s European Best Sniper Competition

@pattesonfamily and I hunted with a guy a few years back.. former US Marine that married a Norwegian gal and moved home with her… he’s now a sniper in one of their reserve recce units… he’s spoke very highly of the quality of training and the training intensity of Norwegian forces…

Many like to disparage European militaries, but many are on par with the U.S. with regards to training and quality. They lack numbers and sometimes equipment. But there are some very lethal outfits in Europe. Norway, Finland, Denmark, Poland Etc, Etc
The issue is equipment production and they are ramping up.

Wondering if Trump is about to take a page out of Putin's playbook and start a special military operation in Venezuela. Let's hope not, for a multitude of reasons.

Trump and Putin, brothers from another mother.

There is no comparison between Trump's goals and Putin's.
Trump has declared war on narco terrorism, and a corrupt illegitimate leader. He's not trying to obtain real estate for imperial ambitions, but looking to give Venezuela back to the people, while keeping that corrupt regime from poisoning the world with drugs.

I know it's difficult to see the big picture, with those TDS blinders on so tightly

There’s better ways to achieve the desired outcome. Trump’s actions give away the moral high ground. He simply thinks might makes right.

If Trump does something with Venezuela and Maduro it will be interesting to see if Smartmatic and Dominion come back into vogue in the media. I’m not saying it will happen, but if it does it starts tying multiple conspiracies together and gives a much stronger reason for regime change/invasion than narcotics.

Then again, it could just be narcotics trafficking and destabilizing illegal gang members sent into America.

Yet, we hardly do anything directly about the Mexican cartels which ship a lot more drugs than Venezuela.

I guess we better put you in charge, and you can pound Venezuela into submission with the moral high ground.

We can't deal with Mexico in the same manner as Venezuela.

Using your viewpoint Bin Laden was justified for 9/11 due to American actions in the Middle East and elsewhere as perceived by him. Extrajudicial killings are a slippery slope.
