The government owes it to American veterans and servicemembers to take this seriously. The job is hard enough without thinking you're part of a military who would be ok with this.
“The royal troops are perceived to be in motion, as if embarking to pass the harbor, and land on Dorchester shore, to attack our works. … Each man knows his place, and is resolute to execute his duty.”
Thinking back on how George W. Bush reacted to Cindy Sheehan.
“Part of my duty as the president is to meet those who have lost a loved one. I sympathise with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her position. She has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America.”
I also think vaguely or semi-religious people will feel more religious in a political sense if they hear a political leader using religious ideas that appeals to them.

I'll say it again. Rules of engagement are what lets you come home and look your mother in the eye.
Among my favorite dumb AI injections is Acrobat asking if I want to summarize a PDF I wrote / made and then trying to charge me for it.

AP finding a #demsindisarray story even amidst the chaos.
I should have been more precise. I remember this particular event because I was in Kuwait. More than once we were sent scrambling for the bunker because the air defense system confused a plane for an incoming missile.
This is the true yeoman’s work of polling.
This is from 2003. Sorry I was just pointing out today’s events are not new.
As a veteran of the last time we did this, I can’t stop thinking of the dead and injured civilians. They suffer the most. Especially the kids.

Surprisingly, the performative “both sides” script doesn't sell that well.
