In case you haven't seen Hegseth's stunning display of craven cowardice yet

I want to see him repeat all of this under oath.

Correct me if I am wrong but what I hear is a point blank refusal to accept any responsibility or accountability, a litany of "it wasn't me" followed by a smoke screen of flaming bullshit of "it was someone else, but I think they were right rah rah rah Amerikuh you don't know what it's like so you have no right to ask no you're the liars".

I recognize this dynamic.

To family, "it's your fault I'm like this. You don't know what it's like, and you have it so good and have no right to point out the damage I do."

Most alcoholics are not sadistic murderers.

And yes of course, he is going to blame his drinking on everyone else.

question because he hadn't experienced the fog of war (like Hegseth) but according to a repost by Aaron Rupar, the journalist in question HAS experienced violent combat to a greater degree than Hegseth. This needs more attention.

The question posed is 'on the second strike, you said it happened more than an hour after the first?

An hour! This was no impulsive decision. This was a cold and calculated maneuver that complies with a 'dead men tell no tales' mentality. Cold blooded murder.

Cold blooded murder.

Glad someone said it. Actual visual obstruction is not what MacNamara was talking about. Whiskey Pete was probably referring to fog of whiskey. He is so stupid and incompetent.
