Did someone explain to them how illegal their actions were after the September double tap killings? Did someone in the military refuse the order the second time?
'After an October 6 strike also left survivors, the military did not follow up with a “double-tap” strike like it did on September 2. Instead, it rescued the men and sent them back to their home countries.' edition.cnn.com/2025/12/01/p...

The arrogance of him thinking that they should obey him, completely disregarding that the message was not to obey unlawful orders. As if him saying it, overrules any responsibility to the constitution.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

Hegseth isn’t defending his admiral, he’s scapegoating him. He’s shifting the entire weight of an illegal kill order onto a subordinate & framing it as patriotism, so others also fall in line. It’s total cowardice - a political appointee hiding behind a uniformed officer he just fed to the wolves.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.
