Why?

Because the war was a distraction.

This general said that this was the greatest geopolitical blunder of the United States that they've ever committed in history.

And he says that he wants to have trials for the people who followed illegal orders.

And remember, there's video of Pete Hegseth back before he was defense secretary, back in 2016 when he was on a panel meeting.

where he says that exact thing, that military officers should refuse to follow illegal orders, that it's the duty of a soldier to follow the Constitution, not the commander-in-chief.

Illegal orders, they've got to be disobeyed.

That was Hegseth's own standard.

That's the same Pete Hegseth who went after Mark Kelly for saying the same thing.

The same Hegseth who just fired the Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George, along with two other senior officers.

The same Pete Hegseth who declared a capital V victory in a war where the president publicly threatened to wipe out a civilization.

This is the same Hegseth

When anybody speaks out publicly, he has them censured, threatened with demotion, and tries to have them charged with a crime just for speaking the truth.

And if you ask legal experts, if you ask military leaders, if you ask people within Trump's own party now, they have said that many of the president's threats during this war, they look a lot like war crimes.

threatening to destroy civilian infrastructure, their bridges, their power plants, threatening to annihilate an entire civilization.

Under international law, under the Geneva Conventions, and under the principles that were established through things like Nuremberg, those are war crimes.

Hegseth saying to not grant the enemies no quarter, just saying that is a war crime.

And I want you to remember something about Nuremberg.

Nuremberg wasn't just about punishment.

We could have just handled the Germans for what they did.
