The buck passes through the kegger.
The fact they followed his orders means I don’t give a fuck if he’s passing the buck. They could have refused. The officers passing on the order could have refused.
The pilots could have refused.
The guy with his finger on the trigger could have refused.
But none of them did.
Every single person involved, from Hegseth, right down to the guy who pulled the trigger should be on trial right now.
Idk what training drone pilots get… Does it cover this extensively?
These are exactly the kind of orders those Democrat senators were talking about
That’s what the whole thing of “refusing illegal and unconstitutional commands” is about.
Of course Hegseth tries to shift the blame to someone else, but on the other hand, this someone executed an illegal and unconstitutional command.
In the end, both are guilty.
Agreed. From the person who gave the order to the person who carried out the order, illegal orders are illegal orders. Both should be held responsible under the UCMJ for the crime. I know they won’t, but they should be.
Hopefully this sends a message to all members of our armed forces: you can follow illegal orders if you like but when consequences come (and they will) this administration will throw you under the bus faster than you can say “I was just following orders”
Trump scams everyone.
Everyone.
If you think he will be nice to you because you’re nice to him, you’re wrong. He has scammed everyone around him for the past 60 years.
Nobody in the chain of command refused orders to commit warcrimes.
LMAO, this is so Cartman of him to do.
“So Secretary Hegseth has just posted something that I wanted to ask you about,” said Burnett. “He said: ‘Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting us. When this @DeptofWar says we have the back of our warriors — we mean it.’”
Kiss of death.
For the sake of privacy let’s call him Admiral M. Bradley… no, that’s too obvious… Admiral Mitch B.
Didn’t you hear. Biden was the admiral. And the pilot. It was all Biden.
I don’t know… I don’t really get the chills from the word “Senator” 🤷
