Mitigation of Damages

Read a random definition: leave year

A quick definition of Mitigation of Damages:

Term: Mitigation of Damages

Definition: Mitigation of damages means that if someone is hurt or loses money because of someone else's actions, they have a responsibility to try to make things better and not let the problem get worse. For example, if someone breaks a contract, the other person should try to find a way to fix the problem instead of just letting it get worse. This is also true if someone stops paying rent on a house or apartment. The landlord should try to find a new tenant instead of just letting the property sit empty and losing more money.

A more thorough explanation:

Mitigation of damages is a legal principle that requires an injured party to take reasonable steps to minimize their losses after an event that causes harm. This principle is commonly used in tort and contract law.

  • In a breach of contract case, if one party notifies the other that they will not perform their obligations, the other party must take reasonable steps to avoid further losses. For example, if a construction company is hired to build a bridge, but the project is cancelled, the company cannot continue to work on the bridge and increase the damages caused by the breach of contract.
  • In property law, if a tenant breaks their lease and leaves the property, the landlord has a duty to mitigate the damages caused by the tenant's breach. This means that the landlord must try to find a new tenant and re-rent the property as soon as possible.

These examples illustrate how the mitigation of damages principle works in practice. Essentially, the principle requires parties to take reasonable steps to minimize their losses and avoid further harm.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Yeah but like half the general officers are compromised so we might as well just give this country to China already. The head of the JAG corps used to tell us how much he loved Tiktok and he was a 1 star. These people should be court martialed. I hope Trump follows through on that promise the most.
it was 80 degrees three days ago and now it's like pouring rain sleet and wind

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)
soap
10:37
Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring
Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.
