    “Authorized”? It’s like they’re trying to imply the admiral requested permission to commit war crimes.

    Media can’t even keep the story straight. Most say it was Hegseth’s order. A few say it was the admiral’s decision. Which is it?

    Still can’t tell if this was a standing order by Hegseth or a specific order for this specific incident. Pretty sure it was blanket, “Kill 'em all.” order.

    To the people serving on the American military? What does it feel to be cowardly killers? What does it feel to be the equivalent of modern day nazis?

      It comes naturally. They’ve been training for it since Vietnam, some even say their whole existence is based on abrasively killing of native citizens.

      Needless to say, innocent and helpless people are their favorite targets.
