Former President Donald Trump has promised a "bloody story" that involves assembling patrol groups of MAGA loyalists larger than the U.S. Army, according to a new analysis.

Gallagher was that SEAL that Trump pardoned from war crimes, right?
Specifically he murdered POWs, once with a knife, and then threatened to kill any of his team that ratted on him.
He is kind of the poster child of the disdain conservatives have for modern rules of engagement. They still think he was falsely maligned and that he only “did what he had to do.” Of course, that’s why he was pardoned. They need people like him going forward.
His fellow snipers and the rest of his squad admitted that he also shot randomly at civilians, to the point that his squad ACTIVELY FUCKED WITH HIS RIFLE SCOPE to make sure he’d miss the first shot and give civilians some time to get to cover as he cycled his rifle.
The dude was enough of a psychopath that they screwed the dude WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM SAFE so he wouldn’t randomly murder civilians.
You also forgot the part that he stabbed a POW to death, took pictures with the corpse, and sent them to his buddies stateside.
That should be a hanging offense. How could we win hearts and minds or stabilize the region acting like that.
You see, the people who supported what he did don’t want to do those things. Constant war is good to them because despite how “tired” they might claim to be of it, constant war, or the threat of war touching off, is all they know, and they don’t know how to envision a peaceful world. Between Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1 and 2, Afghanistan, the Balkans, and the late Cold War, really no American of voting age living today has grown up in a world where US soldiers were not deployed in active combat roles somewhere at sometime.
