Aggregate knowledge of Viva Barnes Law

I posted this to Twitter as well:

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BE CONFUSED ON THIS: I have no prior knowledge or understanding of the DoD directive - just trying to understand what people are worried about and DM'ing me about.

A lot of people have been coming to me asking about the "new" directive from the DoD regarding authorization to use "lethal force" on civilians. They are citing what they believe is a new directive in screenshot 1 - the authorization to use lethal force.

Being ignorant on the subject, my first reaction was to think that the DoD always has authorization to use "lethal force" in the event of unrest, depending on the nature of the unrest / proximity of threat.

Am I wrong in concluding that this wording has always been in these DoD directives? Just googling some older ones, and the same phraseology is there (screenshots 2 and 3). But I'm not sure if they are the same directive covering the same subject matter. Links in replies.

Does this directive actually do anything new, or is it just coming to people's awareness for the first time?

I know what Barnes thinks - that it is being misunderstood. Just trying to make sure I understand / check my own analysis.

Thoughts?

Fact checking the community

A member of our community informed me that dolphins will play with puffer fish to get them inflated, to bump them around, so they can get trace amounts of toxins for a mild high.

I had to fact check

@Zachthecat is indeed correct.

A. Art of the Day 
  • The refined elegance of the flow of the dress with the flow of the waves, the curl of the hair with the curl of the water, balanced against the stillness of the solid floor, the open door, the welcoming windows, the beckoning patio. Hopper again captures my idea of close to perfect peace.

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of July 31, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • My idea for a perfect Saturday brunch, sitting by an open window in Venice along the canals, fresh flowers gracing the table and balcony, the blue skies and 18th century buildings smiling back, gondoliers parked, an Italian meal awaiting, in this Atlantis of cultured living. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • Hubris infects the strong, not the weak; the clever, not the  knave; the smart, not the illiterate; the previously successful, not the prior failed. It’s what makes it so inviting, so tempting, and so destructive — precisely because it infects the very people who need to be most immune from it.
