Our forefathers built this nation of the blood and sweat of SLAVES, you fucking moron.
And now you're suggesting punishing black and brown people, because you're not just a moron. You're also a racist POS.
WE DON'T WANT YOU, you fucking moron. You'd better brush up on the statute of limitations.

They're not saying because they know it's a war crime. In fact, firing on the shipwrecked is the *exact* example of a clear war crime in the DoD Law of War Manual.
Reporter: Why won't the administration confirm or deny whether or not there were a survivors after that initial first strike? What imminent threat would survivors pose who were clinging presumably to the wreckage of that boat?

"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."
That's the example of an illegal order from the DoD Law of War Manual, and it's exactly what Hegseth ordered.
Everyone in the chain of command is guilty of a war crime, right down to the Seal Tem 6 psychos who fired.

Pres Sec Barbie just claimed Trump had a preventative MRI, and that it's a standard procedure.

Preventative MRI's are of little to no benefit, which is why they aren't covered by insurance. They're a scam pushed by well-paid celebrity influencers.

And so it begins. This is the worst war crime by the SecDef and American commanders and troops since the My Lai massacre.
Trump will pardon Hegseth. He has to. Because he was in the room when Hegseth issued the illegal order to murder the survivors of an illegal attack.

So, if it's true (it's not) that Hegseth didn't give the order, when will the Seal Team 6 psychos who fired on the survivors be arrested?
