    There is only one war the US military should be involved in. They swore an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.

    **Gestures broadly toward D.C.

      I often wonder if the General Staff isn’t cooking something behind the scenes. You know they’ve gamed scenarios to defy Trump launching nukes.

      Maybe that’s just hopium. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m having a hard time seeing the leaders going in for a strike against NATO. Also, I can’t believe I just typed that sentence.

      Anyway, as I told my little kids last Christmas, the 80s and 90s were pretty fucking cool, sorry.

        I can believe they have resistance plans for the really batshit scenarios.

        But passively denying nukes or whatever is a heck of a lot better than actively starting shit in DC. That would be a dark road to go down.

    It would be hilarious if Mr. War Hegseth decides to “whip out the mighty dick of America” only to have possibly the lowest troop morale in history right on day 1

      The shortest, limpest dick of any defense secretary. I thought he was going femme with all the makeup.

    Here’s what scares me. If that happens, America could Island hop.

    Greenland > Iceland > Faroe islands > Shetland > Orkney > Scotland.
