Hegseth and the military brass need to be prosecuted for killing these people. We don’t even have proof they were drug traffickers, where are the drugs? They show us their horrific crimes against the people but they can’t manage to bring back a kilo of cocaine?

The soldiers took an oath to defend the Constitution not to Hegseth or Trump, so whoever pulled the trigger, pushed the button or whatever should go down.

Let’s not forget that most republicans voted to protect pedophiles and not defend and support the victims. The republicans attract and protect rapists, sexual assaulters and pedophiles!

In fact, he should be charged and convicted of multiple counts of homicide. If he is not, his superiors are equally guilty of this egregious act of mass killing of innocent civilians.🇺🇸

He acts like he was playing a video game! He probably feels like he was playing a video game. I bet he'd think twice if he was ever face to face with this kind of thing...or perhaps not since evil has no empathy. 😒

Hegseth was never in the Middle East fighting along side the actually Military. He was first in the National Guard and then he was sent to Kuwait to be an Instructor at the Military Facility there. What he thinks that he knows never came from actual experience. Hegseth is despicable in his disregard for following Trumps vendetta without Justification. He is only a Yes man for Trump with No Integrity at all.

Doesn't matter. Why do you think Netanyahu will only travel to the u.s.? There is a pending warrant out for donnie's buddy for committing war crimes. He would be arrested by any ICC compliant country. It's only a matter of time before these slimeballs will meet their end as well.

I don’t think you understand the consequences. You would expose a lot of people including soldiers to be sent to the Hague for your country’s past actions. Iraq first comes to mind but there are many others, including being tied to Israel’s genocide on Palestinians. There are reasons why the US doesn’t recognize that court and they’re not pretty.

It actually falls under murder here in the US as opposed to the war crime everyone is saying. You should read William Finnegan’s piece on this. He worked for the state department in the Bush era and under several administrations and he lays it all out in detail. Hegseth should be prosecuted for murder in the US.

He was unqualified before being affirmed by every Republican except for three. Republican's Collins, McConnell, Murkowski who voted "NO" along " with all 47 Democrats. Vance "The Sofa Boy" was the deciding tie breaking vote 50-51.

Republicans knew about his Anti-Muslim Rhetoric and Christian Nationalism, Extremist Associations, Negative views on Women and the LGBTQ+ Community, Anti-DEI Policies and Racial Equity, Allegations of Racism even by former family members.

Republicans knew about him before he was confirmed and they still did their master's bidding. A hit job on our military, veterans and their families.

The Republicans own it, all of it: lock, stock and over-flowing barrels of lies, bigotry and hate. They placed a complete moron in charge of the world's mightiest military.

Malfeasance involves intentional wrongdoing, nonfeasance is a failure to act, and misfeasance is improper action. Pretty much sums up the Republican administration.

These criminals running our country must be held to account. But my fear is that the senators speak with powerful voices and then back away when the shit hits the fan. Plus, there are so many ways to hide evidence with this cruel regime in power. I am so sick of powerful people getting off because they have powerful backers. Just like Donald Trump and his felony convictions and his impeachment – he never paid the price, but was able to come back and rape our country as he raped little girls & women. I am hoping the citizens of this country will stand strong and not let this bunch of rag tag criminals go free. If we do not stand by our constitution and the laws agreed to by other nations, who are we ??? Every time I think we have finally backed these assholes in a corner – they find a way out. Trump will most certainly start a war with Venezuela, and become even more desperate. We have to be strong and stand up against this bastard!!!

Hegseth needs to spend the rest of his life in prison along with many others. How can they even justify killing possibly innocent people. People that they didn't arrest and question. Those were the orders of Trump passed to Hegseth. Trump has stated many times that they were going to bomb these people out of the water. The Supreme Court seems to be okay with these actions since they have given Trump immunity from all the crimes he commits and wants to commit. Under another administration can the Supreme Court be relieved of their duties for not doing their duties? Hegseth is probably shi_ing his pants right about now. Probably hitting the bottle, too. No amount of make-up will hide his hangover and no amount of cologne will hide his stench.

The demented old man who is polluting what's left of the white house just pardoned a former president of Honduras, a prominent drug trafficker. I suspect he will also try his hardest to pardon his christofascist, allegedly alcoholic and woman-abusing war cosplayer--because he’s straight from central casting and humors confused grandpa.
