So, sending troops to Chicago or Baltimore would be much more complicated than either LA or DC. š§µ

Hereās what is going on. When you start firing the militaryās top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

We do not want every incoming administration to clear house at the Pentagon. Our armed forces should not be led by politically-motivated individuals. Trumpās actions threaten to forever damage our national defense.

I'm preaching to the choir here on bluesky, but telework isn't important to me because I don't want to do my job. It's important to me because a significant portion of my work is done solo and requires focus and time to think. That is nearly impossible in shared offices with constant interruptions.

What I mean here is that *regardless* of whether targeting civilians to undermine morale can be an effective strategy, itās morally repugnant, contrary to IHL, and should be condemned whenever it happens.
