In a way, I don't give a shit.
He committed a war crime. To call him a scapegoat is to give him some sympathy. He deserves no such thing.
I do, however, care about his scapegoating because it casts in a harsh, bright light the horrible leadership that does that to a subordinate. Whiskey Pete gave the criminal order.
In my view, they can both resign and walk out the door. I wish them prosecution.

He should prepare to thoroughly testify in front of The House Armed Services Committee, which is seeking a full accounting of the U.S. military attack on an alleged drug-trafficking boat, esp. the second bombing.
