The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Pete Hegseth’s New Casualty Category Fuels Iran War Cover-Up Claims

The Pentagon has introduced a new casualty classification that critics say masks the full human cost of the war with Iran. It has triggered accusations of a cover-up after four dead service members and scores of wounded troops vanished from the official database by Pete Hegseth, only to reappear under a different label.

the dead and dozens of wounded reappeared Sunday under the new heading, which carries a start date of July 7, 2026 (via The Daily Beast).

Second war, same as the first. But it resets the 60 day clock for war without Congressional approval.

In other fun "news". The new bridge to Canada is supposed to open today. Trump the Conqueror is supposed to give a speech in metro Detroit. Wonder if he will find another way to honk up the bridge.

Tomorrow, "Bibi" comes to DC, to give Trump hew instructions.
