Say goodbye to the ugliest piece of shit ever built. To call this thing a truck is a stretch. It's a station wagon. And a damned ugly one at that. An eight year old could design something better looking.

@Socialprogressive
one of our favorite hangouts in Fredericksburg Texas, we go through the southern part of Austin. We pass right by the Tesla plant, it's a huge rolling conglomerate of buildings. Needless to say, we see plenty of Teslas around the area and yes, the trucks are awkward looking and I've never seen any of them with any cargo in the back, which tells me they are pretty much useless.

are all over the place around here. You see them everywhere you go. The whole time I was in Oregon I only saw 2.

A dose of reality, followed by a dose of AI slop.

@usefewersyllables
someone in DC, although the Tomb is in Arlington, Va., doing their duty. I wonder how long the soldier will remain a guard, let alone on active duty?

@JtC

defense, at least for this administration:

He was just following orders. (;-)

Seriously, though, the man deserves a medal. If Drunkseth goes after him for performing his duty, there should be swift and severe consequences. That is the primary job of that regiment, and they do take it as seriously as it truly deserves.

...there's nothing he can be court martialed for. Even without it, I at a loss to think of what the charge the charge might be. Maintaining order and an atmosphere of respect at the memorial is apparently a Federal (Army) Regulation. I heard one report that said the Pentagon issued a statement that he acted correctly.

Hegseth awarded him a Joint Service Commendation Medal today.

beautifully stentorian sound of that sentry's voice. It was amazing to see that it got such coverage in the MSM. Perhaps, just perhaps, some cracks are beginning to appear....

@usefewersyllables that I read a few AIPAC Republican websites just to see what their latest schemes might be.
I found that video on one of their websites. Commenters are so outraged, there are just no words.
Laughing at the place where people come to pay their respects to a soldier who was not welcomed home by his family and loved ones because of his inability to be identified is beyond disgraceful.
Have you been there? Have you watched the changing of the guards ceremony? If so, you left behind a tiny piece of your heart.
Hegseth apparently has no heart. Lethality--not legality, remember?

It was every bit as moving as was being in attendance at Pearl Harbor for the ceremonies on the 50th anniversary. You are absolutely right about leaving a piece of your heart behind there: these aren't just "ceremonies".

Hegseth is an utter embarrassment to our armed forces- and indeed, to the entire human race.

@usefewersyllables in the works to visit Pearl Harbor, then comes COVID. A local guy who was a friend of my Dad's, survived that attack. My Dad participated in the D-Day invasion. They shared many private talks.
A client/friend is an Army vet. He was recruited to join the Guard. They swear an oath that they will never drink alcohol as long as they live. My friend declined to join. He knew he would break that oath and dishonor the fallen.
