    Lets see if the Admiral is willing to keep hold of the live grenade that Hegseth pulled the pin on before he walked away, or the Admiral starts talking about the orders he received from Hegseth.

      He’s burned either way. Following illegal orders is still illegal. You are responsible for your actions, even if those actions were ordered by higher ups.

    The American military has no honor or humanity. They are all coward, bloodthirsty butchers. I hope their consciences haunt them forever.

      Half American people are just as bloodthirsty, and half of the remaining half just don’t give a shit.

    There’s no possible scenario where this was “lawful”. This was illegal in every conceivable way, and every single soldier involved knew it was illegal, but still followed that order.

      That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal. <- We are here

      And if it is, that’s not my fault. <- Or maybe here

      And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

      And if I did, you deserved it. <- And I’m pretty sure they used this one already

    Yes, that’s how the chain of command works. The person at the top is still responsible, though.
