I don’t see this “Fog of war” on total wine’s website. Am I searching wrong?
Can someone explain to me why this second strike is such a big deal but the first isn’t?
It’s just always cut and dry, firing on the ship wrecked is always illegal they are considered non-combatants at that point.
This is actually the example they use of an illegal order in the DOD manual.

Ok, so it really is defined very precisely and everyone should have known.
They were non-combatants the entire time.
That’s not even the argument the administration is making. Their argument is that the drugs themselves are the weapon/combatant. So they argue it’s perfectly legal to destroy the drugs and hand wave away the collateral damage of the humans operating the boat. But if the drugs were already destroyed then their entire argument goes out the window for a need for a second strike.
Its stupid, I know.
Oh cool, so the same twisted logic as charging someone’s money for a crime in asset forfeiture.
Because it’s illegal to shoot survivors of a ship you have sunk.
I understand this. My question was, why it wasn’t illegal to shoot the ship in the first place.
Why not both?
But, really, it’s the order for no quarter that is the main course of illegality. Simply put, even if they make a claim of bad intel or “I was just following orders”, the extra twist of the knife in the no-quarters order is in of itself a fundamental illegal knife twist that prevents him from getting away with any “whoopsie daisy” defense.
If the military aren’t going to think about the orders they’re given, maybe it’ll give them pause when the person giving them is clearly a coward who will blame those he ordered
Once you get to the information age and put enough research points in your tech tree to unlock satellite imagery, fog of war is cleared.
Doesn’t clear the fog of whiskey
Too true.
Last week he didn’t order the first strike.
At the beginning of the week he didn’t order the second strike.
Today he ordered the second strike but didn’t see any survivors.
America is fucked. Any other timeline the FBI and MPs would be marching into the Pentagon and arresting him and everyone else involved for murder
They definitely should, but would they? After what the US did to Guatemala, Chile, etc. I doubt that would ever happen, although the war criminals would probably be more subtle.
Was gonna ask if War was a stout or IPA.
It’s not a LITERAL fog, you warthog-faced buffoon.
Is that when you’re not quite drunk enough to black out but you’re just browning out a little between lines?
Is he trying to claim he’s Alethi?
Don’t think he’s got the mental capacity or inclination to read that many words to even know who the Alethi are.
I don’t think it counts as “the fog of war” if there is no war.
Also no fog.
The fog of hangover?
The fog of tequila
Murderer.
Did he try typing in Marco and Polo?
Even IDSA would disagree
