A VETERAN COMBAT INFANTRY OFFICER SPEAKS:

Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.

I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.

We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.… https://t.co/LCuvy5AwmH

Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.

His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.

GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.

We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.

And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.

Needless to say, read the whole thing.
