@nobullsix@CynicalPublius I remember that being compelling testimony about confused SRUF authorities, but definitely not evidence of a stand down order.
@nobullsix@CynicalPublius Oh, good! We have a command structure in place. Then there must be some evidence, somewhere, that Commander, JTF-82 issued a “stand down” order—I guess to just that element?—during the evacuation.
@nobullsix@CynicalPublius You definitely have the folks from Red State on your team. In a contest over the direction of our armed forces, that must help you choose between Gen Donahue and … an alcoholic cable morning show host with a history of sexual abuse and running non-profits into the ground.
@nobullsix@CynicalPublius Ah yes. Those same “people” tell you about the stand down order? Issued from 82nd Airborne CG to MAGTF personnel? Don’t you guys ever get tired of reciting this nonsense?
@nobullsix@CynicalPublius My claim was that the person who took the picture gave this account, so yes, that’s my proof of his version. What’s your proof of your libelous claim?
@nobullsix@CynicalPublius I doubt you care interested in the facts of the story, but he NCO who took the photo says nothing that supports your claim—nor do you have any cite for it, of course … https://t.co/NcdC4efNxF
@leonidragozin Ohhhh… the USSR. Sure. Well, leaving aside Hitler’s pact noncompliance, I was referring to conflicts in Georgia, Chechnya, and elsewhere in the Caucasus, Syria, Africa, and, of course, Ukraine. Crazy how those all found Russia.
@mtaibbi SO WHAT?! Jesus… this just lowers the bar to participating in democracy, with the sole visible cost being that it annoys some people of a particular stripe.
@mtaibbi Very Trumpian, a hallmark, to advocate limiting democratic action. Even more Trumpian to do so with no evidence—or in the face of evidence to the contrary. A glib “it’s too hard to show up?” can be applied elsewhere: too hard to pay a poll tax? Too hard to pass a literacy test?
Lewis & Clark Athletics put together our best showing in the Northwest Conference All-Sports Trophy Standings since 2003. The River Otters finished 6th overall and posted the most points (174) in program history. 9 Lewis & Clark teams finished in the top-4 https://t.co/lqeymAiwQt
