In The News
“Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Tuesday criticized the departure of senior military officials when Hegseth testified before her panel Tuesday.”
“I find this deeply troubling,” Collins said at the hearing, which was held to discuss the administration’s request for emergency Defense funding. “These are men and women who volunteered to serve our country and swore an oath to support and defend our Constitution.”

The Fantasy Newsperson Asks
The Department of Defense was established in 1949. What part of DOD history involved US troops sent to locations where the constitution was threatened?
Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in these areas.
Former Secretary of Defense:
“…we also remember our Service Members fiercely defending the freedoms we value every day.”
The Fantasy Newsperson Asks
How would American freedoms be any different if US troops were never sent to Iraq?
US Troops were sent into life and death situations in the aftermath of 911.
For this reason it is important to ask questions and develop a feel for what is real and what is honest.
It feels like a society where honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion, but the questioning and discussion rarely takes place.
From 2004
“Today, however, the Congress has relinquished its delegated powers, giving the President license to do whatever he and his office determine that they can get away with. Consequentially, the presidential and legislative oaths to the Constitution have just turned into a great photo op on inauguration day.”
“It is a sad and hard realization for a grunt who loves the Marine Corps to admit that the organization is not used in the preservation of liberty, and has not been used toward that end for a very long time.”
