Does this mean that every person involved in this attack has committed a crime down to the pilots? That is my gut feeling. LOAC briefs emphasized that “just following orders” was not a defense. I’d be curious what legal advice was given to these commanders.

Do you /sleep/? You put out a lot of content, have a square job, wrote a book, have a family and apparently played two FTEs worth of video games (not including anything you didn’t spend 200 hours on).

I did some research on this related to the Air National Guard using force to protect assets. My overall conclusion was that those acting under federal authority could be prosecuted for state crimes. Being “on duty” really didn’t matter in a criminal context. Actual cases were few. But it’s a new era

Tricare is so good that reserve-component federal civil employees are prohibited from having it (I hear that is set to change in like 4 years, but too late for me). I guess I am saying that no one prohibits you from eating glass but will cut you off from $1000 catastrophic cap…

This hurts me personally because I have spent 14 years working for the United States. I graduated law school, became an Air JAG then a government contracts attorney. Now I am looking at starting my career over again because these people think i have nothing to offer but a pair of hands.

And in each instance the miscreants responsible were soundly punished rather than wholly shielded from the results of their actions and allowed to die comfortably in their beds, right?
Right?

From personal experience at my agency, DOGE is not increasing efficiency unless you start from the axiom that every government dollar spent is a dollar wasted (one of our DOGEmen appears to hold this belief). Terminated contracts are really inefficient.
