Respond to What Did They Think Would Happen?
Almost two years ago to the day, this is what I wrote at the Weekly Standard :The Hunt for Red October. The Soviet and American navies are jousting in the north Atlantic, with their exercises designed to provoke each other. An American F-14 goes careening out of control as it lands on a carrier and the commander, played by the late, great Fred Thompson, fumes, Hamilton on Broadway and got a respectful talking to a list of some things the current president of the United States of America said while campaigning for his office:“I’d like to punch him in the face." He vowed to impose torture techniques “a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.” Trump declared that he would “take out the families” of terrorist suspects, assuring skeptics that the military would not refuse his commands, even though service members have a duty to refuse orders that are manifestly illegal . “If I say do it, they’re going to do it.” Actually what the Red Hen and the Hamilton actors and even Maxine Waters have done or called for is less bad than what the President ran called for and promised.
