"If the people in charge are using up sailors as carelessly and recklessly as they are using up their munitions, it’s because they don’t care enough to do otherwise." Our troops deserve better. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

lnk.thebulwark.comThe Troops Deserve Better than HegsethThe president, the secretary of defense, and the top Navy officials are blithely ignoring the suffering of the sailors at sea.

nobody wants to address or call out the other side of this debacle, military culture. They can't even defend themselves from these two dregs, how hell can they protect the country. They need standards, they need to refuse to serve this

Military veterans were a key voting bloc for the fascist Trump regime, supporting him nearly 2-1 over Harris. Instead of defeating fascism like the American heroes of WWII, this generation of veterans disgraced their memory by ushering in a fascist takeover of the U.S.A.

When they first deployed the fleet to Venezuela, the cost was brought up The administration justified it by saying they were getting paid anyway Now their being treated like their in a ICE detention center run for profit with no human basic necessities 

Trump started a war to divert attention away from the Epstein files. He and Hegseth have committed war crimes. He was lead to believe that this would be like bombing small civilian boats in the carribean. Which was also war crimes. Katie Phang is making sure we don't forget about Epstein Kudos Katie

Nicole Conrad has a son on the Lincoln and says she voted for Trump. She wants Hegseth to see the ship himself instead of describing conditions from a podium in Panama. The Navy is now sending a relief carrier group so the Lincoln can come home.

I mean people who murder other people for their fascist leaders probably deserve something pretty bad? If we even want to except that framework at all?

No matter what Hegseth says, it's bullshit. Let him live on that ship under those conditions for months on end. Maybe he'll jump overboard...and no one will care enough to save him.

They murdered innocent Iranians, partnered in the murder of countless Lebanese and Palestinians all for a phony war that was intended to pump up these losers egos. Now they are abusing our sailors with the same disregard. These are murderous criminals. Let’s call it what it is.
