Bring back the duel


“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.” —George Bernard Shaw


Just boarded Budapest flight, fell into talk w/fellow middle aged US conservative. He headed in for Danube cruise. He sd “I love Trump, but…” then expressed deep disgust w/Iran war and president’s conduct of it. I told him to prepare for strong anti-U.S. feelings in Europe.


The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

I really wish "legal experts" hadn't screamed bloody murder about every little thing Trump did, so they could speak with authority now that he's actually committing war crimes.

Driscoll refused to pull the names for months. Hegseth did it himself, likely illegally. George asked to discuss it. Hegseth refused the meeting, then fired him two years into a four-year term. Nine officials confirmed. Pentagon disputed nothing specific.
