    SecDef Offers Sparse Details on American Woman Recovered in Secretive Military Op

    The U.S. military conducted an operation to bring home an American woman who had been the victim of a violent crime in Honduras, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday.

    Esper was deliberately vague on the details, but said, "We had a young lady, a young American, who was the victim of a violent crime in Honduras, I believe. She has been returned to the United States."

    He did not say when or how the woman was brought out safely from Honduras, which has closed its borders during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

    "Out of respect for her and her family, for her privacy, we'll just leave it at that," Esper added at a Pentagon briefing.

    He noted that the military last Friday flew home an American women's tackle football team, which had been in Honduras for a competition that was canceled because of the coronavirus threat.

    Yeah, 'ol "fire n' forget" says whatever comes into his head, with zero regrets.

    If it causes panic, he just says something completely different later. Acknowledging error is for the weak.

    "We have always been at war with Eastasia!"
    Trump is all kinds of fucked up but he keep’in it real tho... one thing I like about Trump is he says it like it is and he does not give a fuck what people think of it.

    The problem is he doesn't tell it like it is. He tells it like he feels like it at that moment.

    You know things like: It's not going to be a problem here. I always knew it was going to be a pandemic. Dealing with this I'm like a wartime president. We should be good to go back to work right around Easter. The malaria medication is proving very viable on this virus...

    Not telling it like it is. Spinning b.s. as he goes along.

    Not good enough. Not by a long shot.

    If you and I conducted our work for the federal gov't and before the courts in that manner...we'd be tarnished forever and indicted.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    The problem is he’s our best and only option - which is sad. Nobody the Democrats have put forward since JFK is worth a damn. I have never been able to vote for someone I truly wanted as POTUS. It’s been the lesser of two evils for decades.

    Brother, I hear you. But comparing him to a sack of crap does little to alleviate the situation. I'm not giving anyone a pass because someone else was a scumbag.

    I don't think any judge I ever testified before would let me get away with saying that I was better than most other agents who ever presented a case in his court.

    Why should the man holding the highest office in the land not have the basic integrity we ask of our LEOs and civil servants?

    Oh yes, it's honest.

    Unfortunately, lying....er "creative phrasing of the truth" is a vital tool of statecraft/leadership.

    Was fear the only thing we had to fear in WWII as a nation? No, but it was a the right statement at the right time.

    "Providing calm" doesn't seem to be in Trump's playbook. It isn't a necessary skill for sales, unfortunately, so Trump never had to develop it.

    I’d still rather him tell it like he feels in the moment than only say things that have been revised so many times by his staffers that he ends up not actually saying anything.

    At least we know what he’s thinking, which is far more than most politicians.

    In another thread, you described him as an amoral fool. I disagree, I see him as an amoral opportunist.

    This is not at all ideal but it’s the least bad option available.

    Trump has yet to do anything that makes me wish Hillary had won.

    Likewise, he yet to do anything that makes me think Biden, Cuomo, Sanders, or the rest of these socialist scumbags would be better.
