Like the old style punch tool ballots, a dangling Chad is ßest served cold,as it is nether a yes or no vote…just a dangling Chad.

Only time will tell…

Thank you, Sir, may I have another?

Hmmm 🧐, macho-erotic ball knocking… better than Chad’s special handling; there he sat, gift wrapped and packaged for delivery. And gagged so as not to revert to his ideas of being rich and in charge.

The mystery of interpersonal dynamics and unknowns of employment, security, safety, and can they work toward common goals, with work ethics to make a living and a life. This first chapter is very intriguing; there seems to be untold stories for both these men. Will it be something to share and nurture, or to be aware and cautious of? It is interesting and shows promise for me. I like the characters as they are introduced, and I think they will grow on us and perhaps each other.

Thankfully the young sniper had to face his biggest challenge as the only action available. They expected to get the primary, then maybe secondary, and tertiary. But when looking at killing the kid as a lone target the mission objectives became more clear that it just wasn’t right.

Oh, I used to love the greased pig chase…

King vs the Machine, man against the system.

And Mano a Mano just made the bullseye bigger and bolder for Will and the Carters in general,

Two sugars with three coalitions, please.

Good deal, the HUM-INT worked to then point resources to the areas of penetration by the uninvited guests. Poor Ned, he is just not within his depths to deal with his new life; hopefully, this was a big learning experience. Especially snipers, they are not for scoping out the surrounding area visually and without cover. i have a feeling the boys will all be wearing armor in the future, but this also means expanded security measures for the Carters.

Accept those terms?…politically, they cannot defy gravity, but publicly it will probably look as if health and unfortunate timing left them without time to get proper ballot registrations in enough states to continue their campaign; At least some cover story of equal plausibility.

True on the options without forward placed personnel, but…none of those have the same plausible deniability that this mission does, especially if they exfil and make it out clean. And that’s the dirty little secret the parties in play hope to keep.

Despite a long career in the military and large corporate operations environment, I’ve never had a time where I had to accept an order against my morals. I did have occasion to counter that a different way of accomplishing the mission needed to be found but that was to kept operations safe and legal for the type operations we were tasked for. Unnecessarily choosing high losses for people or equipment was foolish and can jeopardize future operations, I was of the rank/position to influence safe and efficient operations for my people and weapon systems. As to enemy combatants, we actually dropped warnings both for combatants and non-combatants on how to not to be a fatality as overwhelming force and/or forces would have dramatic consequences in their area in the coming hours. Non-combatants were especially warned not to engage as they would be given no protections once engaging military personnel. Keep in mind, any true stories or depictions in movies, while based on true it has probably been dramatized for entertainment or advocacy for a cause. While normal bell curves would say human nature will always have outliers; they are smaller percentages and have mechanisms for reporting and review. I’ve used that system, and while many may would compromise reporting for fear of discipline or promotion opportunities, there are still ways to report anonymously. So can and do those outliers happen, yes I’m sure there are occasions, but are they mainstream operations, no, not my experience over a very long career.

Hmmm, a council of Presidents…who’s on first? 😂

The delusions are that people are knowing working out side of the chain of command; one person is not the entirety of the problem.

That okay by an ex-president means it is still unsanctioned by the legal government, as well as being a war crime to wear the uniforms to assassinate a foreign civilian and a military officer.

Red flags indeed: wearing enemy uniforms for assassins is a war crime that makes them knowingly unlawful.

Hope is in the air as the President plans to release the documents to Candidate Will Carter, with acknowledgement that Will was defending his family and his sovereign state from illegal attacks for less than honorable reasons. He is acknowledging his status as a sunset president and resident that wants someone strong and honorable to bring the future back to saneness, and to safe the country from rogue entities within the government. Biden is trusting Will to manage the situation and the politics in a responsible manner, as he and his husband have repeatedly shown their characters as heroes.

And showed Jason the light…now enlightenment, you’re gay and everyone knows your secret, Jason.

The wooden legs seem to be of green wood and has signs a yielding, yet, with proper curing may harden to provide a sturdy support. Bracing and supporting each other becomes key to the ultimate strength of the structural support. It interesting to see this developing and very curious to capture an understanding of the journey.

It does rather redefine…The Storm.

Shocker indeed, they are quiet a mess and with separation issues for a couple we know later to be fated and so dedicated; with back stories tending towards true love, that didn’t leave the impression of such detached and emotional resignation.

Kinda like a plea deal, he was trying to protect Orel, but also gave up Tarquin when the opportunity came; so he turned key witness with immunity in forgiveness.
