Kind Of A Big Deal

It is kind of a big deal that Iran destroyed the "U.S. Navy’s main resupply base."  Not my area at all, but while their have been plenty of troop deaths/casualties in our various misadventures over the years, I don't remember any destruction of a strategic military asset of that importance.

I'm not saying Democrats should emulate what my imaginary Republicans would do, but you can imagine the kind of questioning - both from Republicans and the media (somewhat led by those Republicans) - Secretary of Defense Democrat would face if he had fucked things up so badly.

It will probably take some time for the full story of events to come out, and one will have to sift through the self-interested asscovering by other participants. But the sequences of events, and demands from Pete, will be interesting to learn about!

We know he fired everybody who knew anything.

These misadventures do give us an opportunity to remind ourselves just how vast our military empire is. And just how ultimately pointless and ineffectual it is.

Certainly ineffectual at what we are supposed to think it is for.
