A decently popular account in left politics spaces here told me I was a war criminal and that I was going to jail in 29 because.............I pointed out that JSOC and SOCOM are not the same thing and that if you want to deal with portions of USSOF being out of control the distinction matters
“Someone got canceled on BlueSky for saying that the oil Trump is trying to steal from Venezuela is sludge” sounds like a joke people on X would tell about BlueSky, and yet it actually happened
I find it hard to square the preciousness about "why would someone ever stay on Twitter?" when everyone on this site knows that the community here intentionally chased off lots of people.

me: "Hey this was illegal as shit, also JSOC isn't SOCOM and that difference matters if you actually want to fix USSOF"
bluesky: "you are literally a war criminal because you were in the US military at some point in your life so we are sending you and every other federal employee to prison in 2029"

One other point: JSOC is not SOCOM is not JSOC
SOCOM has its organizational issues, but the vast majority of USSOF criminal fuckery traces back particularly to JSOC in some form, and at this point JSOC specifically is effectively the President's unaccountable assassination agency

I think SOCOM is salvagable, if they make a clean break with JSOC (in part by abolishing it), to include at the senior leader levels
SOCOM is a lot more than just JSOC, but unsurprisingly JSOC types have tended to get the nod for senior positions

The question is in two parts I think:
- how should USSOF be organized and what should the relationship between SOCOM (which I think has to exist in some fashion), the other CCMDs, and the services be
- does JSOC need to exist at all in the future construct
- how should USSOF be organized and what should the relationship between SOCOM (which I think has to exist in some fashion), the other CCMDs, and the services be

SOCKOR isn't exactly in the top tier of USSOF orgs, but that's in large part because ROK SOF are broadly competent
Which raises some other questions about what went down here and who knew what when

What I mean by this is USSOF and US Army pilots, along with US Navy pilots, tag teamed at night to target IRGC small boats suspected of placing mines (Navy was not a factor). This began as a JSOC led mission but transitioned to the Army later in the conflict. The effort dealt with small boats
