Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.
Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!

Will be interesting what Etzebeth is ‘charged’ with and how severe the disciplinary committee view the offence to have been. Could be looking at a substantial ban; could be looking at 2/3 weeks.
There is no defence - if he was defending himself, throwing a punch would have been better.

I'm not surprised the TNT pundits are being cautious in saying that Etzebeth 'probably didn't mean to do that' as its a big thing to accuse a professional of deliberately doing the most abhorrent foul our sport has, but its also not a great look to appear to be defending something so awful.

In sworn testimony during his trial, a witness testified that former President Hernández once said that he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos.”
Now he is going to be granted a pardon by President Trump — not even a commutation — and be freed from a 45-year prison sentence.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I don't know if Bluesky is more USA-skewed than Twitter was, but still almost all the sports content I'm seeing is about teams called things like the South Oakland Raccoons or Pennsylvania Fuckforce.
