It may not happen soon, but Mitch Bradley should remember that he can be recalled to duty someday and court martialed for ordering murder.
Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

DULF was doing Vancouver Coastal Health‘s job: providing drugs of known composition and potency as an alternative to the unregulated drug supply — because VCH wouldn’t.
VCH‘s leadership should be the people on trial

DULF was collecting donations (legal) and buying heroin, cocaine and meth off the dark web (illegal). Once they had the drugs Vancouver Coastal Health worked with them to help rigorously test the drugs and label the drugs (legal), and DULF would sell the drugs at cost to members (illegal).

We must subject these policies to critical scrutiny:
Who benefits from involuntary drug treatment?
Not the patients. Not the nurses, doctors, or other allied healthcare professionals.
Do you feel safer knowing the gov is changing laws to protect care providers so they can violate patient rights?
