Just got back from Senator Wyden's town hall this afternoon, and he said that if Trump ordered
the bombing of cultural sites, he thought the military would refuse. Wow.

He said the Iran issue will be the biggest issue on people's agenda when they go back to DC tomorrow, and there is huge opposition both to what has already happened and even more to bombing cultural sites.

He talked about the issue for quite awhile, and mentioned the War Powers Act and that there will be a lot of action around it in the next few days. He said there has not been nearly enough oversight by Congress (as far as War Powers) for years now and pointed out that he was one of the lone votes against invading Iraq.

We will see what happens; if this is enough to get GOP on board with any kind of accountability or actual action.

  You go, girl.

1. In my former military opinion, if Trump ordered the bombing of cultural sites

Then I would hope you have pictures because they would be toast.

The only checks/balances against the POTUS exercising his military power is his removal from office. Anything else is a wet dream.

I'm trying to figure out what cultural sites they have in Iran...

5. An unfortunate reality, soldiers of the past may have had principles...

But in this age of resurgent nationalism, we're seeing the lowest of the low and the worst of the worst be soldiers for Trump.

If he gave the order to rape, they would rape. If he gave the order to murder children, they would murder children. If he gave the order to pillage from their neighbors, they would pillage from their neighbors. So if he gave the order to bomb cultural sites, they would do so without a second thought.

First, WTF?  Murder children?  Histrionic much?

Second, WTF?  WHY would you WANT to bomb cultural sites?  I guess I’m not a strategenarian.

Because the mooselimbs are known to hide their munitions and fighters in "cultural" sites like mosques, schools, hospitals, and museums.

What DUpipo should worry about is Trump dropping the Q-Bomb!        

What's bizarre about DU-grade Proggies is that they think those ludicrous wastes of ordnance and risks to trained personnel are things Trump would actually plan and try to do.

My guess is that President Trump’s talking about the Shia Muslim holy city of Qum.  And/or whatever mosque the “red flag of jihad” was raised over a couple of days ago.
