Isn’t this exactly the type of situation that was being used recently as an example of when an order is so blatantly illegal that the soldier is required not to follow it?
Such a manly man. Nothing screams "I'm a super serious, super macho, super secure guy!" like summoning all the top generals for a dick waving ceremony, and bombing fishermen from airplanes.
Can't wait for Trump to go away so we can jail this fucker for murder.
When two survivors emerged from the wreckage, a Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions to “kill everybody,” according to The Washington Post, citing officials with direct knowledge of the operation.
The two men were then “blown apart in the water,” according to the report.
So I guess whenever he steps foot on European soil he will be immediately captured and go to trial, right?
RIGHT‽
Can't have any survivors, they know they could be unequivocally confirmed to not be related to the drug trafficking.
There is no other possible motive here. If these were actual criminals they would parade them about.
Still don't see why it's necessary to blow up a drug boat in the first place let alone kill everyone on board.
God. This fuckin guy. Another 12 year old in an adult's body. His parents should be ashamed for raising such a piece of human trash.
He should be extradited to every country he attacked.
Dead men can't defend themselves or provide evidence that he's wrong.
Kill everybody; starting with Pete Hegseth.
Is there already a case against him and the Trump administration at the ICC? If not, does anyone know how to start one?
Awful however now even worse with Trump pardoning a real, not imagined, drug lord. Death without trial (or evidence) for potential and most likely poor drug runners but freedom for a convicted drug lord because he could pay Trump off.
Reminder to all the people newly against extrajudicial killing of random people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_killing#North_America
...the winners write history, especially with no survivors...or witnesses...
