Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

For the vAcCiNes kiLLeD pEoPLe crowd, will note for the umpteenth time that vaccine access and uptake were associated with lower all-cause mortality during COVID
Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.
