Hegseth vows to “take no quarter”

[Rocko]

What defines us to the world is our words and actions.

Hegseths rhetoric does not help our image
Killing survivors clinging to wreckage does not help
Torture does not help
Lying about destroying a girls school does not help

I don’t think we’re viewed as an evil country that kills civilians by the rest of the world. The world knows Iran are the bad guys. The difference between us and them is stark.

US is better than that

The idea that we are better than Iran is not something to brag about
We used to be proud that our moral values were the best in the world

When the USS Tripoli and the amphibious assault group arrive to seize Kharg island, should they take no prisoners in their assault?

Pentagon reportedly sending more warships and Marines to Middle East

The USS Tripoli, USS New Orleans, USS San Diego and the embarked 31st MEU are reportedly heading to the Middle East in support of Operation Epic Fury.

Mar 13, 2026
". . . The 31st MEU, meanwhile, includes a ground combat element, which features a battalion landing team — an infantry battalion and combat support elements — of around 1,100 Marines and sailors.

Also included is the aviation combat element, which features tilt-rotor and fixed-wing aircraft, transport and attack helicopters, ground support assets and air defense teams.

A combat logistics battalion with equipment and personnel capable of sustaining a MEU in austere environments for up to 15 days will also join the effort. This group includes medical, supply and explosive ordnance personnel, among others.

Requests for comment from the Pentagon and CENTCOM were not returned as of press time. The Navy told Military Times it would not be commenting.

The deployment of the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group comes less than a year after a Military Times report found the readiness rate of the Navy’s amphibious assault ships had dropped to just 41% amid the Trump administration’s ramped-up effort to combat drug cartels in Latin America and the Caribbean.. . .

And you know this how?

Hegseth never ceases to amaze me

He was outraged at Kelly for reminding soldiers they are not obligated to follow unlawful orders

Then he makes a speech advocating what would be an unlawful order

Kelly……I told you so

How are you going to take prisoners, when you are bombing from hundreds of feet in the air?
