    It was so obvious he was pinning it on the Admiral. But if anything were to go to court, it’s simple,

    “I was given the order to, quote, kill everybody While I would seek alternatives myself, this was a direct order from the secretary of Defence and so must comply.”

    “And why did you do strike a second time?”

    “We located some alive. He gave the order to kill everybody.”
