All of the legalese will never change a simple fact: Gallagher is a murderer and a monster, and the world has the photos to prove this. Expunge that.

He can be a special warfare operator but would he be allowed back into the Seals? Does his rank force him to be a SWCC now if they removed his trident and aren’t allowing him back in?

Ah yes, the brotherhood of man: quote:The investigators began to use force on me, a sick 65-year-old man. I was made to lie face down and beaten on the soles of my feet and my spine with a rubber strap. They sat me on a chair and beat my feet from above, with considerable force... For the next few days, when those parts of my legs were covered with extensive internal hemorrhaging, they again beat the red-blue-and-yellow bruises with the strap and the pain was so intense that it felt as if boiling water was being poured on these sensitive areas. I howled and wept from the pain. They beat my back with the same rubber strap and punched my face, swinging their fists from a great height ... The intolerable physical and emotional pain caused my eyes to weep unending streams of tears, Lying face down on the floor, I discovered that I could wriggle, twist and squeal like a dog when its master whips it ... When I lay down on the cot and fell asleep, after 18 hours of interrogation, in order to go back in an hour's time for more, I was woken up by my own groaning and because I was jerking about like a patient in the last stages of typhoid fever ... "death, oh most certainly, death is easier than this!" the interrogated person says to himself. I began to incriminate myself in the hope that this, at least, would lead quickly to the scaffold His crime? Wrote the wrong kind of plays. "the brotherhood of man"

What’s going to happen to the SEAL who got immunity and then probably perjured himself by claiming that it was he, not Gallagher, who killed a detainee? Even if he can’t be prosecuted, I’d hope he wouldn’t be allowed back on a team after that.

I imagine someone who is a die hard nationalist is probably more likely to join the military. And die hard nationalists tend to be lovely people. I don’t know if there are studies on this, it just logically makes sense to me. Maybe we are seeing the study unfold.

I suspect there's a lot of confirmation bias in there. When you mostly interact with people who agree with you, you tend to think your opinions are more widely-held than they are. Also there's no doubt there's a bunch of fascists in the military. I doubt it's as extensive as that guy thinks.

The armed forces aren't full of fascists but they sure as heck don't do enough to root them out, and in fact implicitly attract them.

If you put that kind of power in the hands of an upstanding citizen and a loyal American then it's really for the best. They'll know how to treat everyone the way they deserve and to really fix the problems with society. If you'll excuse me I hear there's a snazzy new uniform for the military and some fancy new saluting to learn. But you should get your dog looked at he won't stop barking.

quote:The grammar school civics class version of our Revolution is that it was a rebellion against monarchial tyranny, and that, in framing our Constitution, one of the main preoccupations of the Founders was to keep the Executive weak. This is misguided. quote:One of the more amusing aspects of modern progressive polemic is their breathless attacks on the “unitary executive theory.” They portray this as some new-fangled “theory” to justify Executive power of sweeping scope. In reality, the idea of the unitary executive does not go so much to the breadth of Presidential power. Rather, the idea is that, whatever the Executive powers may be, they must be exercised under the President’s supervision. This is not “new,” and it is not a “theory.” It is a description of what the Framers unquestionably did in Article II of the Constitution. quote:So let me turn now to how the Executive is presently faring in these interbranch battles. I am concerned that the deck has become stacked against the Executive. Since the mid-60s, there has been a steady grinding down of the Executive branch’s authority, that accelerated after Watergate. More and more, the President’s ability to act in areas in which he has discretion has become smothered by the encroachments of the other branches. quote:I think there are two aspects of contemporary thought that tend to operate to the disadvantage of the Executive. quote:As I have said, the Framers fully expected intense pulling and hauling between the Congress and the President. Unfortunately, just in the past few years, we have seen these conflicts take on an entirely new character. Get cancer. quote:One of the ironies of today is that those who oppose this President constantly accuse this Administration of “shredding” constitutional norms and waging a war on the rule of law. When I ask my friends on the other side, what exactly are you referring to? I get vacuous stares, followed by sputtering about the Travel Ban or some such thing. While the President has certainly thrown out the traditional Beltway playbook, he was upfront about that beforehand, and the people voted for him. What I am talking about today are fundamental constitutional precepts. The fact is that this Administration’s policy initiatives and proposed rules, including the Travel Ban, have transgressed neither constitutional, nor traditional, norms, and have been amply supported by the law and patiently litigated through the Court system to vindication. Terminal rectal cancer. quote:To my mind, the most blatant and consequential usurpation of Executive power in our history was played out during the Administration of President George W. Bush, when the Supreme Court, in a series of cases, set itself up as the ultimate arbiter and superintendent of military decisions inherent in prosecuting a military conflict – decisions that lie at the very core of the President’s discretion as Commander in Chief. And have your corpse eaten by wild dogs.
