"We're training warriors, not defenders. We fight wars to win, not to defend. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country.
No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement, just common sense. Maximum lethality and authority for warfighters, he ranted.
IOW, violate the rules of engagement and kill indiscriminately.
His own words proclaim his guilt.

but remember this, you aren't covered under the Supreme Courts immunity ruling and your day of reckoning, along with the rest of the toadies, is coming, one day, hopefully soon, you will stand before a jury of your peers to answer for your crimes against humanity and murder.

(17,289 posts)4. No doubt.
But if Pedonald can "nullify" Pres. Biden's pardons, that the next Democratic Admin can do the same.
I know, I know, there is no basis to what Pedonald is trying to do, but a fellow can dream.

We would send down to the Sail Locker to ask the Ship's Bos'n for 100 yards of Gigline.

What a douchebag.

(4,088 posts)9. "Warfighters" sounds like a very enticing title for a comic book for boys who want to grow up
to kill people "legally".
