Hegseth 2016 : Saying there should be consequences for people who commit war crimes

[TubbersUK]

Here’s Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying there should be consequences for people who commit war crimes—that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders from the President: “If you’re doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that. That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.” 🤔

1. Yeah But, Republicans have no consequences for their actions

It’s in the constitution. Somewhere. Look it up.

Republicans are member of the party of responsibility. It would take sick demented communist liberal democrats to say that means republicans are responsible. For anything.

2. Then he should be court-martialed .... that's what he wants to do to Sen. Kelly who said the same thing.

3. Definitely gonna bookmark this and have it ready to break out as needed.

I'm a moron who actually bothers trying to refute people in the "comments" sections of various social media sites. This right here is a curb stomp straight to the back of the head of all the erroneous talking points about Senator Kelly and the others.

About this guy Mike Nellis but not on Twitter. He has a Bluesky account.

5. He sounds so... normal.

He’s not bouncing around the stage, manically talking about masculinity standards and warriors ethos while telling top military brass to stop being pussies and get to war crimeing, er, war fighting. I mean, I’m sure there were unhinged moments during whatever presentation this was, but the difference between this dude and the guy I see today makes me think he’s gone off the wagon. If not with alcohol, maybe Adderall addiction. 🤔
