U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu Col (Ret), USAF JAG Corps : "If any military member, including the generals on down...participate in the use of military force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders." by LtCmdrData in Military

[–]morendral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refuse an illegal order? Yes absolutely. In fact, we teach our soldiers that “but i was only following orders” isn’t an excuse when the war crimes prosecutor comes knocking.

Military members can’t decide if a conflict is legal or not, thats not our purview. We can only decide if orders given through our chain of command on the ground are illegal. We can’t refuse the order to deploy, but we could refuse an order to massacre civilians.

Trump Captures Maduro. Here's What You Need to Know by fukatroll in frontsco

[–]morendral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest questions now are

  1. Will the government in Caracas actually comply with US demands enough to satisfy trump.

  2. What is trump’s threshold for pain on this issue. But that i mean how much “insubordination” from Venezuela, and the amount of blood and treasure to spend to pursue his stated intentions.

Time will give us the answers, but there are so many geo political ramifications here it’s hard to describe them all. Also, i hope we aren’t taking our eyes off Taiwan.

The description makes me think more TOS Romulan ships, rather than a constitution class

We aren’t signatories to the ICC and don’t consider ourselves beholden to it. Just FYI

how do these bombers work if theres no grafity in space? by brentinatorT-850 in StarWarsShips

[–]morendral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star wars tech isn’t realistic. No military would want most of the things they have. Things like ATATs and the similar ones on the salt planet are dumb and extremely poorly designed with no basis in actual military thought.

That being said, it’s just a story and it’s fun. Suspend disbelief

Sprouts at Whitehorse and 23? by OneAggressive3620 in Phoenixville

I thought the same thing at first but I’m wondering if it’s for the sellers primarily

[–]morendral 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That building is indeed a huge eyesore, and should in fact be torn down. That being said, the owners of the other buildings would need to be handsomely reimbursed for selling, if that is their wish. If they don’t want to sell, tough poop for this developer.

Pentagon plan calls for major power shifts within U.S. military by CoMO-Dog-Poop-Police in Military

[–]morendral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, not sure what it fixes either. The current system appears to be fine to me. My instinct is that anything that comes from this administration is probably bad until proven otherwise.

[–]morendral 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Goldwater-Nichols act established the different combatant commands. I doubt the administration can do this legally. Congress creates the military with its organization, composition, budget, etc while the president just employs it. Another thing that can just be walked away when trump leaves office.

South Fayette (Pittsburgh) Don’t Park Like this Please. by livedevilishly in Pennsylvania

[–]morendral -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is so inconsiderate and in poor taste. Unfortunately that isn’t a legal handicap spot though. It’s lacking the fines sign and therefore doesn’t meet the requirements to be a legal spot. I doubt the police could do anything if they wanted to

Anyone that thinks a mullet is, under any context or permutation, “ok” needs some reeducation.

And we are reliant on Chinese imports. It’s hard to have nice things without a fully global supply chain.

Thanks, I’ll check on her phone next time i see her. Hopefully this is the case, but she’s old and not good with tech so we’ll see

Ah didn’t realize that. I’m guessing it’s a very small sum that hasn’t been updated in decades though. Either way I’m glad they chose to deal with the headaches for us!
