@paleofuture.bsky.socialReposted by @markfollman.bsky.socialThis would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

@markfollman.bsky.socialThere are multiple reasons why livestreaming a killing by the US military and boasting about it is a really bad idea, not least how it could jeopardize US troops. But apparently Pete Hegseth is too much of a fool to know that or care www.wsj.com/us-news/pent...
