It could be any of a number of things.

The topic kind of has my attention. I had visions of nuclear bombs during the (previous) Cuba Missile Crisis.

Not looking forward to the next.

I understand your point.

Who fires Tomahawk missiles, anyway. The Navy?

It's ALL terribly wrong.

And to bring up an old point, somewhat indirectly:



Some of us remember the context for that play on words.

An acquaintance at the Pentagon who may or may not know what she's talking about says the General and Hegseth have never gotten along. Supposedly Hegseth ordered him remove blacks and women from the general promotion list and he refused.
