The US has always committed war crimes. Now it is just being honest about it

    And it's important to emphasize when war crimes are official state policy. There's no "bad apples" excuse here, no-one can deflect this onto the soldiers. They're comfortable enough that they're being honest.

    There's no way those commanders aren't shaking their heads at this stooge. Describing defense as leading to "overuse, overreach, and mission creep"? How did this person study politics, rise up ranks to become a major and still be this ignorant of such simple concepts? I can understand dumb, but ignorant too?

    "You kill people and break things for a living."

    I wonder how much of the audience were insulted by that. I think even many of the grunts would find that condescending and dehumanizing.
