It’s worth remembering that Hegseth came to political prominence advocating for U.S. servicemen accused of war crimes.
And if you haven’t listened to it, I highly recommend listening to this podcast about the (failed) war crimes prosecutions for the Haditha Massacre.

In WWII when the Germans and Japanese sank ships and then killed survivors in the water it was murder. It’s no different when Pete Hegseth does it.

To be clear - What is described here is murder!
‘As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.’

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”
