They are for war crimes and enabling a genocide right?
…Hegseth calls the withdrawal a “humiliating retreat” and says leaders at the Pentagon were not held accountable for the deadly attack at Abbey Gate, which killed 13 U.S. service members and roughly 170 Afghan civilians. Nor were they held accountable for a subsequent U.S. airstrike in Kabul that officials thought would kill the Islamic State group leader behind the suicide attack but instead killed 10 innocent Afghans, including seven children, he wrote.
lol it’s literally Benghazi all over again.

Unrelated, but boy howdy do I love a plural postpositive adjective
Edit: thank you for all the fun examples and discussion. Did not expect to wake up and see this many responses to a comment I put almost no thought into, I love this website
I did some googling. My favorite one is musicians extraordinaire. The runner-up is eggs Benedict.

Carne Asadas Burrito Supreme
as far as runners up go it’s a good one
indeed. i hope they bring in several attorneys general and enforce this with all the sergeants major.
Grands Prix
Had to Google this cause my English isn’t that good, and now I know something new that my brain is filing under ‘why does anyone know this?’
There are very few common words/expressions that use plural postpositive adjective. To add to what NephewAlphaBravo said - “wrong” will sound right to most Americans. The average American reads at a sixth grade level.
A correct form is “attorneys general” but that’s rare. The average American would say “attorney generals”.
A correct form is “attorneys general” but that’s rare.
Not “correct”, just formal/academic. Down with proscriptive grammar!
I’m gonna say attorneys generals and nobody can stop me
I just do it randomly for fun if the singular is a double noun. Suns day. Generals Store. It’s very silly. I giggle inside.
Sergeants Major is another one that always sounded funny to me
It’s pretty useless tbf, one of those things that native english speakers wouldn’t even notice if you got it “wrong”
This is so fucking funny lmao
An annoying editor at some point before this article was published.
“Uhh ackshually it’s courts-martial.”
Nominally it’s about Afghanistan but - of course - Trump couldn’t give less of a shit about that. This power move is entirely about Trump seeing how much he can push the envelop.
I mean he can’t serve any further terms so if ever, now’s the time to really go nuts and see how crazy this ride gets
He hasn’t even been sworn in yet and it’s clear he’s going to try to break every norm, rule, and law. There really is no incentive for him not to go nuts. The only thing that could stop him - and it’s only in theory - is the republican party. And they aren’t going to try to stop the the no brakesTrump Train. He knows that they know he would destroy them.
Only because his brain will surely be a puddle of goo in 4 years
Surely this will help the military with their recruitment woes.
Critical support for the empire hurting itself.
So are they going to throw officers in the brig because they made tactical mistakes? I’m getting a feeling (maybe it’s hopium) that these people are like a dog catching a car.
a dog catching a car
The Trump Train is going at ramming speed. But even if the 2026 elections are a gimmie for the dems - never underestimate their fantastical abilities in fucking up. My wild guesses are that “patriotism” or some other loser concept will be the dem party’s quasi-official motto for 2026 and that they’ll have another big loser in that they’ll continue to try to get “reasonable” republicans to vote for them.
Dems are the champions at fucking up a layup with the cheat codes on. Almost as if… It’s on purpose.
If you give a Democrat three wishes, they’ll negotiate you down to one, and then wish for something they think a Republican would like.
I have a feeling that turnout will be in the shitter again for 2026
entirely possible. Their campaign for nearly a decade now has been “We’re not Trump. Vote for us!” Their campaign money scarecow can’t run for reelection anymore and be used to terrify voters into the voting lines. I’m rather curious in what way will they redesign themselves over the next four years.
