Sen. Gillibrand calls for Hegseth to resign over girls school bombing

[BeyondGeography]

Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"

1. The problem we have with our current government is that this doesn't bother them.

No responsibility accepted, no apology, no promise to do better.
Just like the deaths of Good and Pretti, it's essentially a big old FU to anyone who calls them out on it.

2. I believe Kegbreath said something about disregarding

rules of engagement, as if he were too stupid to understand the consequences.

3. Hegseth's supposed "anti-woke" military led directly to a shelving of a department

dedicated to reducing civilian casualties.

Whether that would have prevented this criminal atrocity is anybody's guess, but he should resign for letting his insane ideology get in the way of sensible defense planning and ethical military decision-making.

4. Just waiting to see how they will blame Joe Biden.

5. One really nasty aspect of this bombing, which doesn't get enough press, was that this was a "double-tap" operation. For

those unfamiliar with the term, "double-tap" is a military tactic where a second strike is intentionally launched minutes after an initial attack to hit rescue workers, medics, and civilians arriving at the scene. This is done to maximize casualties, causing high death tolls among emergency responders, and is widely considered a violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.

Killing kids just wasn't enough for Hegseth. They had to kill a bunch of other people as well.

8. Well, it worked on Al Franken...

9. Sen. Gillibrand is the queen of asking for resignations.

It's refreshing to agree with her on this one.

13. "No stupid rules of engagement," said Hegseth

I thought he should've been called to resign right after that speech.

[Wonder Why]

14. Does this mean no Peace Prize for him either?

[Evolve Dammit]

16. It's an AI world unless we have the will to cancel it. Otherwise we are fucked. n/t
