That's my bet.

1. Not sure. It's the Air Force that drops nukes, last time I checked.

2. Wasn't referring to nukes.

It could be any of a number of things.

As in telling him to do something so stupid it would be criminal to obey

[usonian]

3. I was.

The topic kind of has my attention. I had visions of nuclear bombs during the (previous) Cuba Missile Crisis.

Not looking forward to the next.

I understand your point.

Who fires Tomahawk missiles, anyway. The Navy?

It's ALL terribly wrong.

And to bring up an old point, somewhat indirectly:



Some of us remember the context for that play on words.

8. Navy and Air Force have tomahawk missiles

I’m not aware of the Army ever launching one…..

We’ll see how this plays out…….

10. It's not good.

12. The scuttlebutt is that he refused to discriminate

An acquaintance at the Pentagon who may or may not know what she's talking about says the General and Hegseth have never gotten along. Supposedly Hegseth ordered him remove blacks and women from the general promotion list and he refused.
