The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike. Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions. This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

If sanity ever returns, everyone in the chain of command that participated in the firing on those boats will be prosecuted. From SecDef Hair Gel on down to the guys that pulled the triggers are as guilty as the Nazis at Nuremberg.

What shithouses they must be. “The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating”. Why not, “The house and senate have both expressed interest in resigning en masse”?

Congressional Republicans are looking to try to assuage the anger in the country by going after Hegseth. They want to show an angry public that they are reigning Trump in. They are now becoming more afraid of the broader electorate than their base. And the midterms are getting closer by the day.

Hell, what happen to the 1/6 committee investigation? The September 2025 incident involving a strike in the Caribbean was under Bradley's command. Hegseth gave Bradley orders, which have since has raised legal & ethical questions. The House and Senate are dysfunctional & corrupt 👉and don’t care.

I'm honestly more upset about SEAL team 6 being complicit with illegal orders than with Hegseth giving them. We all knew Hegseth was a terrorist, that's no surprise. But sadly, this one action has irreparably damaged the reputation of the entire SEAL forces.

I hope our brothers and sisters in the military are listening to those who actually have their best interests at heart and soul. Don't be a fool and throw your lives away by following illegal orders issued from a narcissistic, demented old traitor.

duh. double duh. triple duh. Republicans are deaf so you have to keep repeating it to them. every veteran and/or member of a military family has an opinion about this: #nationalguard #maralago #trump #gop #maga #republicans #democrats #veterans #thanksgiving #florida #whitehouse #hegseth #evil

Will this bring back the lives of those who were killed? The clown released the biggest drug dealer who brought them in. The question here is, is the life of the Secretary of Defense more important than the life of a Latino citizen? Are the lives of his children, Rubio's children,

Venezuela is not known as the major supplier of drugs to the US-Colombia is (via S. America).What Venezuela does have is Oil.- makes me wonder big time. Add to that the fact that DJT is now pardoning a convicted Drug trafficker dealing worldwide, including the US - it doesnt pass the smell test.

"TV personality gone wild" seems to be the slogan of all the trump hires. Hegseth has let it go to his head. I doubt anything will be done, but there is always hope the law will win. We stand for justice or we are not worth anything. Look at Hegseth....a big zero.

I'm no expert in anything but even I knew something wasn't right when this guy was made Secretary of Defence which is the job he was given by the way not the Secretary of War Crimes...

My God! Is this admin. really pardoning felons convicted of drug trafficking? Is it denying due process and blowing up boats with humans on them due to a belief the slaughtered are drug trafficking? If so, then why pardon notorious convicted drug traffickers?

The majority did not vote for Trump. The majority of voters did. And lets not overlook quite a few glaring pieces of evidence that that's not even true.

I know a lot of folks are thinking that, if Hegseth is found to have committed any crimes, the felon will just pardon him. Or the DoJ will refuse to press any charges. Or both. But there's reporting that the Hague is investigating this. So he could potentially still face some legal...

Absolutely! Accountability is crucial, and it’s good to see these investigations moving forward. And yeah, the reminder to refuse illegal orders couldn’t be more important. The only orders I follow blindly are "free samples this way" and "Don't touch - wet paint"... 🤔✊️

I hate to say this, but even the soldiers who followed those orders need to be looked at. We can't have soldiers following illegal orders. That's why the chief of the navy left that part of the world and retired. He knew better.

I have my doubts that mass castration can be reversed.. I have zero expectation republicans can do anything serious and every senate republican should immediately resign for showing zero respect for our armed forces by knowingly elevating an obvious fool to Secretary of Defense ..

Let’s say Republicans grow a spine and impeach Hegseth. Trump will pardon him of any crime in the US. But, let’s say Venezuela charges Hegseth as well and requests extradition. Could a Democrat President in 2029 order Hegseth detained and extradited to Venezuela? Then Venezuela to ICC?

In WWII allies (including us) expressed horror & outrage when German or Japanese war ships would shoot survivors of sinkings / aircraft downings vs rescuing them as required by the Geneva convention. Shooting of helpless combatants is a war crime! DJT’s “survivor victims” aren’t even combatants!

NEW: The upcoming SCOTUS cases over Trump's firing powers could change America. This latest iteration of a 250-year old debate goes much further than earlier generations would have thought possible — or advisable. Tonight, at Law Dork:

And he will sit before them, the smug, wino bastard that he is, and won’t answer a damned thing. Just like Patel, Bondi, and Noem. We are not living in the “committee will get the answers” world anymore. Nothing will change. They will just ignore any penalty. Thank your Republican pals.

I’m heartened that both The House and The Senate committees put out statements signed by the chair and ranking member. This suggests that The Speaker and The Majority Leader approved, at least tacitly, both the announcements and follow up committee actions.

These actions are so clearly criminal. They just figure they can probably get away with it because there will be no, or slow, repurcussions for killing some poor brown fishermen. It's disgusting and frankly, scary for all of us, given their disregard for any lives they deem disposable.

Interest in investigating? When was the first strike? It disgusts me that the United States is executing people without a judge or jury and the house and senate are only at the "show of interest" stage. It has to stop.

Big whoop. The FBI and DOJ are severely compromised, and the corrupt Supreme Court told Trump that nothing he does is a crime. We knew Trump tried to overthrow and election and led a coup attempt but no one brought him to justice. Why would war crimes be any different?

So if you're running drugs why would you need 11 people to operate that small of a boat? Two to four would be adequate depending on the time and distance. Their extra weight is worth more in drugs or fuel than any other revenues they could provide i.e. illegal passage. He got rid of the witnesses.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Now is the time for US veterans to loudly, persistently restate our oath not to obey illegal orders. Civilians need to be reminded that we took such an oath. Civilians need to be reminded that prisoners of war are to be accorded the care that their simple humanity demands. Ex-US army infantryman.

Hope it doesn't go as poorly as Roberts when he said they would handle the problem with members of the court accepting lavish gifts from billionaires with business before the court internally. Because nothing came of it.

because it is there job and it is overdue that they are checking into this now but better late than never i guess. every veteran and/or member of a military family has an opinion about this: #nationalguard #maralago #trump #maga #republicans #democrats #veterans #thanksgiving #whitehouse #hegseth
