Reading more on Bradley, and wow.

They really picked the wrong guy to throw to the wolves if they want military folks to obey illegal orders in the future, huh

Brief recap:

On Friday, the WaPo reported that SecDef Hegseth personally ordered the execution of helpless survivors of a military attack, literally the definition of a war crime.

Since then, no other outlet has been to able to replicate that reporting, even though they’d love to. (1/2)

This whole administration is about performing for the right wing extremists and Nazis on X. Hegseth cares more about the likes and the outrage generated by his post than he does about the law and certainly more than the men he ordered killed.
Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.

Thoughts on this:

SCOTUS agreed to hear this case before it even finished in the lower courts. When a case helps the conservative (religious) agenda, they jump in early. When it’s voting rights, gun safety, or LGBTQ protections, they say it’s “too soon.” Religious freedom isn't being attacked, the rule of law is.

Blowing up boats and murdering folks is a war crime, especially when there is no evidence to support the decision.

Hegseth is in charge of the Pentagon and he’s the one giving illegal orders, but he’ll blame Admiral Bradley to save his own skin.

Hegseth should be removed and held accountable.

The war crimes Hegseth is committing puts into play a whole host of worsening scenarios. It’s more than a scandal, it’s an action that further destabilizes the country and makes future crimes more likely.

Hegseth’s tenure is a total disaster and it is hastening a host of terrible outcomes.

Miller asked. Were U.S. armed military drones nearby? Were migrants aboard those vessels protected by the U.S. Constitution?

“Why we can’t use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat?”

One was a social media influencer, right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, media personality,

the other, a US soldier, on duty & executed in our capital, earning :$2k monthly & decidely FEMALE.
Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, there is an instantaneous order from 🍊💩 for US flags half staff but when a National Guardsman who was illegally ordered to DC dies from being shot, there is no such order? Abysmal but yet not shocking. Ask your military friends and family how they feel about this.

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Nobody has come up with any evidence whatsoever that the people Hegseth and Trump murdered were smugglers.

And if they were, their murders are still illegal.

Dude tweeted this out yesterday, and now is claiming he knew nothing about the coldblooded murders it depicts.
This is what the so-called "Secretary of War" is tweeting amid reports that his department ordered a second strike to make sure they killed survivors of a boat they attacked that they allege with no proof carries drugs (which doesn't justify bombing them even it were true)

But this won’t hold water.

If Trump and Hegseth claim Bradley is at fault and exceeded his orders, why was Hegseth crowing about the strikes publicly and why hasn’t he removed Bradley?

The strike happened in September and witnesses claim the video made the double tap horrifyingly clear.
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”
