You can't. People either understand this shit or they don't, and no amount of talking to them will get it through their skulls. They have to figure it out on their own, and the rest of us have to suffer until/unless they do.

You'd think showing people pictures from the 70s when you can barely see cities through the smog and pictures of rivers LITERALLY ON FUCKING FIRE, or Pintos exploding from minor fender benders, or any number of other things would make them understand why regulations HAVE to be in place, but it just rolls off them. Owning the libs is worth any price.

Damn, even Hegseth's new military AI says the boat strikes are illegal.

Was Skynet right all along?!

I don't think we'll have any choice but to put people in prison for this. We're a rogue state.

I know Hollywood has ruined my perception of the real world, but do those soldiers seem bored/like they're going through the motions?

You need Michael Bay angles and Hans Zimmer music.

As a vet, I'm just gonna say it's an air assault on a civilian vessel. Not even some cool Sam Fisher covert shit.

What else do you want them to do? We were never really GO GO GO despite the daily "Kill Kill kill with the Cold Blue Steel. What makes the green grass grow, motivated, motivated. Hell yeah motivated. I want to kill somebody!"

It is just a job to most people not in an active war zone or conflict.

what no blowing up the oil tanker? there is no reason they couldn't seize all those other "drug" boats either (which the coast guard did & does well)

There are literally no depths to which these people will not go, for no other reason than just to be assholes.

One of the projects I'm working on right now is helping a municipal site become ADA compliant. Changing fonts is the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM anyone can do to not be an asshole, and Rubio's over here just being a petty rectum.

I don't think we'll have any choice but to put people in prison for this. We're a rogue state.

All of them. Start at the top but honestly, every guy sliding down a rope, too. Following illegal orders has to be punishable or we'll never fix this. Admirals need to do no daylight in your cell prison for the shit they've let slide under this administration. The people above them need to be tried for treason but the people complying need to suffer for it too or we'll be dealing with it the rest of our lives, and the lives of children too young to vote as well.
