Ha! There will be no trial. White America stands quiet and complicit while these madmen carry out their fantasies. Can’t you understand that. We will all sit back quietly and watch history repeat itself because this mess cannot be stopped apparently. |
If this is true, then someone please ask KKKaroline how these actions are in self-defense. |

Post WWII we prosecuted Japanese for doing just this. Sinking our ships was fine. But we prosecuted them for going back and picking off survivors.
Will Trump apologize to the Japanese for unjustly prosecuting their soldiers and airmen? |
Every Trump protest is 90% white. |
| Everything these republicans touch is corrupted. The US military is wrecked. |
He was installed to destroy us. Mission nearly complete. |
The US has historically covered up or otherwise avoided acknowledgement of its own crimes during war. A quick Wikipedia glance turned up a massacre of South Korean refugees I'd never herd of , but there were prosecutions and convictions (and Trump pardons later). But the fact that we've hidden these events at least shows we recognized them as crimes. |
prosecutions related to Iraq and Afghanistan wars I meant |

There are not rules of engagement anymore. This is what happens when you have mayor as head of the US military.
Who would want to be in the US military killing helpless citizens? |
I do. He was in a no win situation. If he didn't follow the order, Hegseth would retaliate. He hoped that if he did, they wouldn't throw him under the bus. Oh well. He picked wrong. |
I disagree with you and side with the previous poster. He knew, as soon as Hegseth was appointed, that such a situation might occur with this administration. Better men and women than this admiral have RESIGNED from all branches of government, across multiple agencies, rather than do something illegal. He had a choice. It was a dire one. He chose wrong. He needs to be investigated and punished. Let's not do a Nazi Germany thing all over again and use the "I was following orders" excuse, OK? That's how you end up killing 11-17 million people, including 6 million Jews and about as many Russians. |
No. He took an oath. He had a professional responsibility and literal laws to follow. He should have refused and resigned. That is what you do. You do not violate your oath, your ethics, or the law. He never should have made Admiral. Poor judgment. No ethics. |
never ceases to amaze me that the press never asks - "what about your oath?" |
Oh I don’t feel bad for the admiral at all. He’s a criminal for following illegal orders. However, bigger picture…by Kegsbreath doing this, he just lost the respect of the top brass in the military. |
Hegseth never had the respect of the top brass. He was a Major in the reserves who was deemed too crazy to work Biden’s inauguration. He probably got passed over for Lt Col and that’s why he left. |
