Online Public Relations Thoughts

To give an illegal command, which was carried out, then to blame the subordinate is despicable but that is what Hegseth has done. 

 War crime?  

It looks like Congress might be growing a spine and beginning to stand up to Trump and his toady, Hegseth.

With the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington DC and constant turmoil from ICE, from the Justice Department's pursuit of Trump's opponents and from on-again-off-again tariffs, it is hard to be thankful this year.  But, we must recognize what we have yet to lose and is worth fighting for.  It is still good to be an American citizen, and we still have the power of the ballot box.  For that we should be grateful and more determined than ever to carry out our civic duties. Make this Thanksgiving one of renewal and dedication to bringing the country back to stability.  

The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth is out to punish six Democratic Congressmen for their video calling for the military to disobey illegal orders.  Hegseth is apparently furious at the former members of the armed services.  What Hegseth forgets is that service members from the beginning are taught exactly that:  Do not obey an illegal order.  Hegseth's ire is phony but once again dangerous.  It will end up in court for sure.
