Hillbilly wisdom: Hedgehog, as we like to refer to the Secretary of Defense, says many things. He is all about the projection of power, peace through strength, and unquestioning answer to the commands from above. He has never considered the possibility of an illegal order. This is apparent by his comments about “no quarter”. Although it is clearly against both international law and the Military Code of Justice and is considered a war crime, he insists that there will be no quarter given. I’m sure the men under his command are crystal clear in regard to their orders and we know he will have their back.

For Senator Cotton: could you by chance enlighten The Secretary of Defense that there are some who think this is an illegal order. Your clarity would be much appreciated before the crime is committed.

Having said the negative, we Arkansans do appreciate the industry brought to Arkansas. Someone has to make the weapons of war and Arkansans do need the jobs.
