Stopping SOUTHCOM from blowing up unarmed fishing boats would have have delivered only a fraction of a penny of savings to Americans at the seafood counter, at best

SOUTHCOM is full of lunatics and has been for a very, very long time. CENTCOM just got more attention for it.

We were constantly explaining to new people at SOUTHCOM how CN actually works and why "just blow them up" was neither a strategic nor tactical "good" option.

Happy 251st Birthday Marines! I can think of no better gift than impeaching that treasonous scumbag, Hegseth, quickly followed by relieving General Donovan of command of SOUTHCOM and scheduling his trial immediately after!

I used to be very nervous when dealing with guys assigned to the School of the Americas in CENTCOM.

I last encountered the folks from SOUTHCOM when Peter Pace was the guy in charge.

About Hegseth’s impeachment, the extrajudicial killings - article 5, seems to me the most straight forward. I’d like to hear what retired Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey has to say about it. He stepped down from (SOUTHCOM) after just one year of a standard three-year term.

hear me out, I have a Modest Proposal for keeping the southcom boat strikes going under the next dem admin

Don't forget all the times they've gotten bounced out of various theaters for being dickheads. There's a reason there were so many MSOTs immediately available when SOUTHCOM turned into discount-brand AFRICOM and it's not because every third Marine is named Garcia lmao

I'm good with this. Southcom, lawyer up.

If Trump eventually pardons Hegseth for various and sundry crimes, especially related to SOUTHCOM boat strikes; should the next administration hand Hegseth over to ICC at The Hague if (when) they indict him? Discuss.

I dearly hope that General Donavan and General Braga and anyone else who gave illegal orders to murder noncombatants in those boat strikes in SOUTHCOM is shitting themselves and panic googling lawyers right now.

Massie is terrible in so many ways, but the impeachment package he put together is outstanding.

As someone who has been cussing about Trump's war criminal pardons in his first term for years now, Massie's focus on them in Iran and SOUTHCOM are especially good, and clearly worded.
the massie impeachment articles are remarkable and, especially for the articles related to war crimes and extrajudicial killings, they allege not merely impeachable offenses but crimes under U.S. and international law. massie.house.gov/news/documen...

Broadly-speaking, SOUTHCOM (and moreso the JIATFs) saw the law enforcement activities the Coast Guard was doing as needing a stronger "militaristic" posture. Also completely misunderstood the on-the-ground nature of CN and human-smuggling networks. Can't elaborate on specifics, obvs.

I said it when the first strike happened, but there was an unspoken "framework" of sorts between the various criminal groups and LE-activities. Everyone on the ground kind of understood the "rules" because it was based on Title 14, not Title 10. SOUTHCOM couldn't wrap their heads around that.

I don't know if I can expand from @templetonpeck.bsky.social's experience, but I can tell you that in the late 80s/90s, the area experts deployed from SOUTHCOM were firestarters. The gray men with satphones and briefcases who would show up, and a week after they left you'd hear about coup attempts.

And that includes Admiral Brad Cooper, General Dan Caine and Admiral Frank Bradley.

And other military leadership of CENTCOM and SOUTHCOM who followed illegal orders from douchebag Pete Hegseth.
We must be as forceful in holding all wrongdoers accountable and as resolute in our restoration of the Constitution as they have been in their blatant criminalities and utter violations of our core principles and rights.

Extradite him to the town of the last fisherman SOUTHCOM made into social media snuff video.

Better for her would be HASC / SASC with investigations of LOAC violations in SOUTHCOM Vs House Foreign Affairs / Senate Foreign Relations and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence all with focus on Ukraine
