21. I should have written "service members", not soldiers.

Glenn Kirschner has a podcast in which he interviewed Former JAGs Working Group Dan Maurer. They’re the group that opined that the killing of the 2 survivors constituted a war crime. My info on the “I think I heard” statement came from him. It was hard to believe so I stated my post to reflect that it was hard to believe. He didn’t give evidence but it does seem like hegseth would give an order to someone that is in command of whatever military service is in charge of that operation. Just makes sense, so it’s very uncomfortable to think that other than hegseth, several military personnel are carrying out orders like this.

Edited to say in addition:
So as you can easily find out, I didn’t make anything up as you accused in an above post. You can hear it for yourself. Also, I REALLY don’t want our service members carrying out illegal orders and causing that kind of chaos. I’m one of those in the streets (or on the sidewalk where it’s legal) but it would be stupid to not consider the possibilities of problems that might arise.
