The problem is, the only real answer to this is "A leader willing to follow blatantly illegal orders and commit mass exgtrajudicial murder." Whether he is also a coward remains, I suppose, to be seen.
Admiral Bradley can take the hit for an administration that doesn't give two shits about him or the military in general, or he can drop his retirement papers and out every single political appointee involved. We'll soon see what kind of officer and leader he is.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

Bradley will fry for this but maybe it is a good example to the troops what happens to those that follow illegal orders. DO NOT FOLLOW ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Trump wants to shift the cost of ACA subsidized health care entirely onto Americans who depend on it. The uninsured Americans will spur a public health problem with more expensive premiums for the insured as hospitals look to recoup the loss.
