A war criminal without a war

It's just murder.

After spending several months bragging about killing people by bombing random boats in the Caribbean, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is suddenly far less interested in taking credit for the “double tap” strike that occurred on September 2.

Why is Hegseth backing off? Turns out that even Republicans are not so comfy with murdering survivors of a boat strike.

It has been obvious to me from the first one. The fact that our so called leaders have finally come to this conclusion after more than 3 months should be truly alarming to all of us.
