I never served in the military but I respect those who did and consider the American armed forces one of the greatest assets that America has because it has a deep tradition of being honorable.
What does it mean to be honorable? I think it means to follow orders and do the hard things with respect and honesty. To follow the law when under fire and under pressure must be extremely difficult, but that has been what we expect from our fighting men and women.
The statements by Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, Mike Waltz, JD Vance and Trump are clear lies. Further bearing false witness against Jeffrey Goldberg has been further evidence as to why our country is made weaker by the current administration and the release of top secret war/attack plans on Yemen.
I quote Army counsel Joseph Welch: “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”
