[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Kill them all" Pete Hegseth ordered as boat survivors emerged after the first air strike
 
Those people on the boat were given no trial, no due process, no way to prove they werent smuggling drugs based on the accusation by the Defense department, and even if which would not entail a death sentence in a court of a law.

I used to think we were the good guys.

#######
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, following the first striking of a boat in the Caribbean in September, issued a verbal directive to U.S. service members to "kill them all" with a second strike that would leave no survivors, according to a new report from the Washington Post. The secretary strongly refutes such claims.

Oh wait, now it turns out that Whiskey Pete not only didn't order the second strike, he didn't even [i]know about it[/i].  :lol:  :thumbup:  :lol:

[b]Trump says he and Hegseth didn't know about second strike on boat[/b]

Oh listen….. that’s the sound of an admiral getting thrown under the bus by Kegsbreath.[/quote]

I don’t feel bad for the Admiral at all. People talk like he is some innocent victim but he has a massive amount of military experience and knew better than to follow an illegal order. He, and every person in the chain of command, deserves whatever punishment is coming their way.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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?"[/quote]

Have you taken a look at the Pentagon press pool? They cleaned out all the legitimate press.

From AI
[quote] The new Pentagon press corps includes several right-wing media outlets and personalities, such as Lindell TV, Tim Pool, The Federalist, Just The News, OANN, and Frontlines. This shift follows the departure of many mainstream media outlets that declined to comply with the Pentagon's new media rules, leading to a new group of journalists from "new media" and independent sources being granted access.

Lindell TV: An outlet founded by Mike Lindell.
Tim Pool: A podcaster whose outlet, Timcast, was credentialed.
The Federalist: A conservative publication.
Just The News: A news outlet founded by John Solomon.
One America News Network (OANN): A conservative news channel.
