Hegseth micromanages the101st

Posted on Posted in lost horizon, morning wood, wargasm

fly-by, fly-over the fortunate slum.. warfare 101. let the colonel do it.

[ There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power. Within our power are opinion, aim, desire, aversion, and, in one word, whatever affairs are our own.
