re: Pete Hesgeth and ROE

My Military experience was vastly different and did not require the split second decision making that the guys kicking doors had to make.

I had to identify targets based on if command decisions were coming from the target. If they were then we had a valid target and could proceed to order strikes.

When I watched the video back then, I remember the room being very dark and the US Soldier saw movement and shot. The whole incident seemed very logical to me. Dark Smokey Room and bad guy moving.

The guys moving into the room were likely on edge after being shot at continuously and were there to eliminate the threat.

I was completely confused as to why the soldier was investigated.

I will agree that we don't want our guys shooting innocent civilians but this guy was moments ago shooting at them.

The embedded reporter created a shite storm for that soldier and I don't think he deserved that.

If our soldiers get shot at, they should then have the full authority to completely destroy the shooter and everyone supporting the shooter. PERIOD!!!

I remember an embed reporter with NBC made waves in Fallujah about one of our guys shooting an injured Iraqi that had just a short time earlier been firing on our guys from inside a Mosque. Our guys sent a shoulder launched Rocket into the Mosque and then entered the building. They found the room that had been hit and there was an injured Iraqi Insurgent in the corner so they shot him. This seemed completely normal to me but the Reporter saw this as a bad thing and the unfortunate soldier was investigated for doing his Damn Job.
Special Forces sometimes need to blend in like in Afghanistan. It made life easier for the snake eaters because they were able to establish good working relationships with the local tribal leaders by blending in and meeting with them in a manner that did not show intimidation.
Thank God!!! Why couldn't this have been done while I was still in the service. I would have never left.

All services will qualify to be war fighters. Average USAF troops never touched an M16 after Basic Training. They all need to know how to shoot.

Their power and influence is the worst it has ever been. They are losing control, their lies have been exposed to most level headed Americans and the end of the Extreme Leftists Ideology is no longer fashionable to most Americans. As another Thread mentions, Trump is a Destroyer of insane crap. He has elevated common sense to its rightful place in society. I really don't care if people like or hate his methods. The bottom line is he is having an impact on how much power these lunatics have. Conservatives need to stay the course because if we falter and lash out, the needle will swing the other way and we don't want that. They will continue to lash out and try to kill their opposition because they are backed into a corner and are acting like a cornered racoon that was caught in the Chicken Coop. The conservatives are the pack of Coonhounds that are just staring at this wretched creature watching him snarl and hiss because he has nothing left but impending doom.

Yup. doing exactly what I voted for him to do.

Destroy the State run Media.
Destroy the concept that all black voters are Democrats
Destroy the concept that all Hispanic voters are Democrats
Destroy the concept that all Gay People are Democrats
Destroy Illegal Immigration into the US
Destroy the Cancel Culture playbook
Destroy Liberal power over Social Media Companies
Destroy the status Quo on the world stage
Destroy the Iranian Nuclear Threat
Destroy the indoctrination of America's Youth by Left Wing Zealots
Destroy the Economy Killing Regulations by the EPA
Destroy the Green Energy Lie
Destroy Censorship

I can keep going all day but you get the point I hope.
The one position the crazy progressives are perfectly qualified to fill:

Inmate at the Asylum.
If the Liberals were in control right now we would have a supreme court with 42 justices. Take a wild guess how many would be Liberal Justices.

if you guess 36 you would be right. They would also kill the filibuster in congress so that they could ramrod their agenda down our throats.

Not buying anything they have to sell anymore.

Every time I hear them say we need to turn down the temperature, I know they don't mean it. They absolutely mean the Conservatives need to shut up and stop resisting their insane agenda.

Candace needs to be given some grace at this time. She and Charlie were close friends. She is an emotional mess right now. She is going to say crap on her platform out of anger and sadness.

give it time and I think she will calm down. She is still a pretty decent conservative voice but is in a very dark place right now.
I would not call it revenge.

Is it emotional? Yes, Absolutely it is.

Is it controlled or being orchestrated by someone in power? No. It is happening organically.

I really believe that Kirk's Murder was a trigger for action. I heard people on this very board asking what can we do? Some were saying open warfare was all that was left. I know that you take what they give you and "Make Em Famous" let everyone know what a piece of garbage they are. After that the chips fall however they fall.

Those that showed their arse on social media are most likely regretting their decision right about now. People are fed up with the Lies and the fake concern coming from the left. I am personally sick of hearing them say we need to turn down the temperature when they are the ones cranking it up to unbearably hot.

At this point, I just want these young idiots to learn a hard lesson. The older ones should know better, I have no sympathy for them at all. The young ones have been manipulated by a very evil master. It is best they learn their lesson now so that they might just make something out of their lives.

Holy Crap. That freak would scare the hell out of my grandkids
But it is so much more that drama. I have watched people become completely unhinged in the workplace over whatever Trump did this week. It is actually insane to watch them lose it.

re: I wonder how many employers...

Posted by TPAWZ on 9/18/25 at 9:07 am to
Like I mentioned when this all started right after Charlie was Murdered. There are very few if any businesses that want to be associated with the vile and hateful speech their employees were spewing. Many of them would rather face a wrongful termination court case versus deal with the consequences of an angry customer base.

So many of the offenders showed who they worked for in their online profiles. Quite Stupid in my opinion. It was a natural reaction for angry conservatives to send the online content to those employers to prove to them how vile their employee was.
They should be thankful that is all that Starbucks required. They could have insisted that all employees wear Carhart Coveralls. Not those can get expensive.
I would agree with you except, What did the Conservatives do to deserve it over the last several years. The left were using cancel culture against anyone that opposed their world view. I know people that were fired because they refused to get the useless Covid Shot. They were publicly shamed and defunded (Through firing). It is not like we really did anything except speak the truth and point out what was wrong. The went hard at conservatives anyway. I don't think that there is any way to prevent the left from abusing power when they have it. They just want more power. silencing any opposition is what they always resort to.
Remember, they have to work within the law. They cannot target political opponents on that alone. There must be a crime involved for them to do anything.

As for the rest of us, we are free to scour the Interwebs for the hate spewing slimeballs and make them famous which includes outing their hateful messaging to their employers and anyone who has a stake in this mess.

Question:

What would you rather listen to, Common Sense discussion or bat $h!t crazy nonsense.

I think Gutfeld is successful because he brings comedy to his show and talks about things from a very common sense perspective.

As for the others that are getting canned, they just spout garbage that most of us see right through. I have watched them all and I just don't get anything out of Colbert or Kimmel. They bore me with their liberal talking points and they are not very funny.
