    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Wow, read the whole thing. That’s quite a story.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Amazing story. Somewhat like the story of Louis Zamperini, in that they lived through hell and yet were able to forgive.

          That's a remarkable book too ("Unbroken").

          IIRC, one of the airmen on the Doolittle raid went on to become a clergyman who ended up in post-war Japan, having been tortured by the Japanese after his capture.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Ditto. What a life of experiences.
