Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges
Just look at how Hegseth responded to these latest revelations with the adolescent smirking of a schoolyard bully squashing fireflies or pulling the legs off of a spider:
This sort of snickering, vacuous sadism is something Democrats can leverage to their advantage. Hegseth famously has urged the armed forces to get more serious about their warfighting. But as Tom Nichols explains at The Atlantic, everything that Hegseth concretely does to further this idea, from his Department of War renaming stunt to his absurd demands for more lethality, signals an obvious lust for killing that the actual warfighters will see as unserious and venal to its core.
The saga of the two men killed at sea illustrates this vividly. Again, even if this account isnt precisely accurate, the execution appears to have happened.
As the Post notes:
If the video of the blast that killed the two survivors on Sept. 2 were made public, people would be horrified, said one person who watched the live feed.
