I have a feeling this will be like the torture scandal, the only person who will go to jail will be the whistle blower

Why blow up the boats instead of capturing them to get photo ops with the pile of drugs. It just makes no sense.

The Uniformed Code of Military Justice forbids the killing of unarmed and disabled combatants. However, we are not at war, so it's not a war crime; it's outright murder.

If somebody told me, "you're fired if you don't commit murder," guess I'm getting fired. We need to prosecute everyone from Hegseth to the drone operator and they have none of my sympathy.

We all know that besides the Admiral being the scapegoat, there will ONLY be a non-judicial Congressional hearing with zero consequences for the people who actively orchestrated these murders and war crimes. They give us political theater, and we act like we’ve received justice…😩
