Let's be clear. Murt's first departure came after someone reported one of MY posts to the powers-that-be. I responded that the admin should take a look at the posts from Murt that I was responding to. Then Murt and I were both suspended for a week. I returned, and Murt tucked tail and ran off like a little bitch. Then he re-emerged as Sharin. I have no idea at all as to what prompted his second exit. There were no complaints from me and I never saw whatever posts it was that caused him/her to once again tuck tail and run like a teen drama queen.

I can answer why Sharin left. She wanted to stay married to Mr. Washburn. You see Shooter, Mrs. Washburn can't resist guys like youself. She loves red head scientists, with soft bods, who drive Hot Wheels. It was the honorable thing for her to do.

Mr. Pragmatic is back!
If you honestly believe that our Rules of Engagement include executing troops who have surrendered instead of holding them as prisoners, then you're a bigger moron than I could have ever imagined.
I am sure that no General will have troops under his command follow such a blatantly unlawful order.
But why did the Secretary of War, in plain language, say precisely that our Rules of Engagement include executing troops who have surrendered instead of holding them as prisoners?
Did he lie? Was he drunk? Does he now know what the words he chose actually mean?
If you honestly believe that our Secretary of Defense War should spew crap like that, then you're a much bigger moron than I could have ever imagined, and I have a very vivid imagination.
You have no original thoughts and can't stay on topic. Keep on meandering further away from the original point I made so you feel justified in your indignation.

Mercy me! Them‘s fighting words.Everyone should all unequivocally reject Hegseth's approach, whether you are Christian or not. It's fundamentally immoral, and yes you can be moral and not be religious.
Morality is overrated. What's immoral is fighting with your hands tied while your enemy does whatever they can/want.
Of course MAGA would think morality is overrated. They sold their morals for Trump.
How many more pedophiles have you advocated for today?
Hegseth is a disaster.

It's absolutely insane that he's SoD.
Apologies if this is covered somewhere else, but I didn't see it anywhere. How bonkers is it that Pete Hegseth's pastor is calling for James Talarico to be killed?
I don't care how you want to spin it, saying those words is terribly misguided and dangerous. He won't but at minimum Hegseth should offer an explanation of what his pastor might've said while condemning the idea of having Talarico killed. In an age where stupid people show up to pizza restaurants armed asking to see trafficked kids in a non-existent basement, this is incredibly reckless, dumb and dangerous.

Interesting thread. And entertaining.
One irony that seems to Have been overlooked is that we’re ostensibly fighting A war of good versus evil in which the evil is a theocracy run amok. Whereas the OP framed the thread as questioning the morality of our warmonger in chief, maybe it would’ve been more appropriate to frame it as asking if he’s advocating theocracy run amok here in the US.

The other guy with the pastor on the podcast, Joshua Haymes, said: "First and foremost, we pray that a man like this would be cut to the heart,” adding: “This is where you have imprecatory psalms. This is where you pray strongly … The psalmist is not shy. God, destroy them. Make them as dung on the ground.”
“I pray that God kills him … Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ.”
In response, pastor Potteiger agreed, saying: “Right, right."
These lunatics defend this extremism by citing certain verses in the Old Testament. Their view is through the lens of Old Testament warfare (in the book of Deuteronomy, for example) which, in some cases, is particularly brutal and flies in the face of modern military ROE.
These guys almost never cite the New Testament, upon which Christianity is based. They claim to be Christians, even devout Christians, but apparently with little regard for the teachings of Christ. In fact, there are some who say the teachings of Jesus are "weak" and "don't work anymore." "Liberal talking points."
Unfuckingbelievable.

You seem to rely on bad information, on a daily basis.
I am not a red head, I don't have a soft bod, and I have never "driven" Hot Wheels (do you mean a Big Wheels?), even as a kid.
