We’re killing people at sea without trial or oversight. A secret memo now promises immunity.
This is what happens when a system built to obey forgets how to take a moral stand.

Contributor: Do our military leaders have the backbone to disobey illegal orders?
A recently uncovered memo promises U.S. soldiers immunity for the killing of more than 80 people in boat strikes throughout the Caribbean, effectively conceding it crossed a line.

The strike in the Caribbean wasn’t about drugs. It was about power unbound from principle.
In Defense One (@defenseone.bsky.social), I explain why this is a warning to all who serve: remember your oath.

A killing at sea marks America’s descent into lawless power
The peremptory strike on a speedboat is a warning to all who serve. Remember your oath.

Fairness and trust keep the Navy strong—not performative outrage. We’re failing that test, and it’s costing good people and hurting the mission. I wrote about it in Defense One: www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/0...
What is Hegseth so scared of?
The Navy needs leaders like Buzz Donnelly.

I wrote for Defense One (@defenseone.bsky.social) on why banning books at the Naval Academy is a betrayal of everything we’re supposed to stand for: www.defenseone.com/ideas/2025/0...
I went to the Naval Academy to defend freedom, not to dismantle it
Stripping the library of books undermines our Navy—and mimics regimes we spent decades confronting.
