Trump, Hegseth Prepare to Throw Military Commanders Under the Bus

Don't matter what Hegseth denies..........or what trump does. They are the only two who could have given this order. This is an impeachable offense all by itself and more than grounds enough for prosecution of Hegseth. This is a violation of international military law, U.S. code of military conduct and is a world court violation. After WWII Japanese Admirals and ship's captains were executed for killing survivors at sea. Ditto for German ship and U-boat commanders. There is no grounds to plead anything after doing this. Hegseth has trump's ass to cover him now........but this is a crime that has no statutes of limitations. Eventually Hegseth will face charges. And trump should. That said a fully bribed SCOTUS gave trump immunity from EVERYTHING...so that one is hanging in the air. He will die before he is tried on all of the things he could be charged with...........Hegseth is young.

There is a line of people in this Chain of Command that will go down. First of course will be the Warrant Officer and the enlisted personnel that pulled the trigger both the first times on the other boats ........and in this case the second time on this one boat. Then it will feed up the line over time. But it may have to wait until this corrupt bunch of POS's are gone and we have justice back in America and a lot of judges are kicked out of jobs for playing favors.

And I once thought that Nuremberg sorted all this responsibility stuff...

This isn't going to set well with the top brass. The very first time Congress mentioned oversight Hegseth, panics, changes his story and points his finger at a subordinate. How is that for leadership?

The unlawful kill order makes sense though. Hegseth would know that prosecuting anyone for murder in international waters is bordering on impossible at the best of times. So it would make sense if you wanted to make a war crime "go away,:

Hagsbreath giving that lecture to the brass that rules of engagement would no longer be a thing is also part of this. It gives the political clowns at the top the ability to disown any commander who does something that becomes bad PR or illegal after the fact.

Another day, another thing that will "get Trump"....and this time, it's SERIOUS.

Update: Now the White House is saying Admiral Frank Bradley ordered the 2nd strike on the survivors.
