To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

*sigh* critical support to Seth Moulton
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.
"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

honestly i think it would be cleaner to charge them with murder. just straight murder. we are not in a state of hostilities
i think we have to throw everyone involved in this down to the seal officer in charge in prison for war crimes honestly
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.

"Oh so you seriously believe that line about how Martok was actually a founder and the declaration of war was really the fault of the Dominion? And I suppose you believe they killed Vreenak too right? Open your eyes, KKKhitomer was an inside job"
Only vaguely related but isn’t it weird the Klingons were late to Wolf 359? And Sector 001? And that they declared war on the Federation but we’re just supposed to forgive them for Ajilon Prime because of the Dominion?
The year is 2367. Productivists just took a majority in the federation council. Wolf 359 hasn't happened yet. Dixon Hill XVIII is #1 at the box office. Replicator rations are at 9/week. The federation has been at peace for a generation. You smile, knowing this moment will never return

If Trump proactively pardons Hegseth, the solution is to signal either to the ICC or the country of origin of the murdered men that we will honor extradition requests on this point.
And then, in something of an irony, Noem him out of the country before anyone can react.

in america, they have this concept of saving “face” or a person’s social standing and reputation. it is common for the winning party in a negotiation to grant a symbolic victory to the losing side in order to avoid completely humiliating them. cross cultural relations are very important to me
