If Hegseth gave the order (of course he did) all Bradley has to do is testify to that effect to significantly reduce his own sentence when the time comes.
Bradley going to learn how far being an apolitical military professional gets you (not very)
The fall guy. Though he is probably also guilty of first degree murder.

I don’t think it’s necessarily great that the CIA operated Afghan military squads but we certainly did do so and we made commitments to those people and we failed to keep faith with at least our moral responsibilities in this case.

Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth.
