    You’re right I’ve gone and checked. It wasn’t a new thing just clarifying that to use lethal force would require the secretary of defenses approval.

    Little clarifying language changes are common it’s true.

      The worst part is the old nugget that every right wing accusation is really a confession. They have every intention of abusing military power against US citizens and want to muddy the waters first to make it another “both sides” thing.

      Thanks for checking into it instead of doubling down. We need that today more than we ever have.

        It’s always a confession from basically anyone in upper level gov. In a funny way I wish it was actually true that it was always a confession though. Imagine if the Republicans were the communist socialist lefties they accuse the Dems of being constantly. That’d be fun.

        But yes I’m down to improve my understanding of facts if they are lacking. Hardly need another reason to hate the military. May as well be accurate about it.
