He should have. But even that does not excuse it.

Plenty of people throughout history have been executed for this. There is no ambiguity. And the Admiral surely knows this.

I totally stand behind Adm Bradley. He acted on his own, you know, like a hero. [LINK] - Chris94 - 8:36pm 12/1/25 (32) [View All]

  - Are we to give up on our Constitution and Due Process foundations? No evidence has been provided by - TyroneIrish - 3:40pm 12/2/25
    - No. Why would you suggest doing that? Are we to extend those rights to non-cit, terrorists overseas? - NedoftheHill - 7:23pm 12/2/25

- Any doubt that Hegseth is drinking again? [NT] - conorlarkin - 10:07pm 12/1/25
  - He thinks that rules of engagement are for pussies - Chris94 - 8:13am 12/2/25

- Would you prosecute him for war crimes? If not, why not? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:17pm 12/1/25
  - Yep. Hegseth first, then the admiral, for executing an illegal order. [NT] - Chris94 - 11:58pm 12/1/25
  - Defense Department Law of War Manual 18.3.2.1 — - conorlarkin - 9:59pm 12/1/25
    - Geez, conor. I wasn't asking about the law; I was asking if Chris/Dems would prosecute the military. - NedoftheHill - 2:21am 12/2/25
      - We executed Japanese naval officers for this crime - Chris94 - 8:00am 12/2/25
        Hilarious. Is there nothing the liberal media puts out that you won't believe? [NT] - PaND - 8:43am 12/2/25
        Uh…it happened, dumb ass. Why do you constantly do “drive by” posts?… - Domer From Hell - 9:38am 12/2/25
        Yeah, drive-bys are a problem - Mark - 11:17am 12/2/25
      - Wouldn’t the law be the starting point? Then apply the facts. - conorlarkin - 3:36am 12/2/25
        The post above is locked? We aren't supposed to mention the Tokyo War Crimes Trials? [NT] - Chris94 - 11:59am 12/2/25
        The thread being locked is my fault. Sorry [NT] - Domer From Hell - 1:15pm 12/2/25
    - But since this was not a war, then it’s murder. Time for Trump to issue more pardons. [NT] - conorlarkin - 10:23pm 12/1/25
      - We haven't had a war since 1945. Do you think the law of war might apply in non-war conflicts? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:22am 12/2/25
        Don’t be daft. [LINK] - conorlarkin - 3:33am 12/2/25
        So, you think the US military is just murdering people, not defending US citizens? - NedoftheHill - 1:57pm 12/2/25
        The US military’s involvement does not make the law irrelevant. Quite the contrary. It heightens it. - conorlarkin - 7:36pm 12/2/25
        Obama set the precedent, if the trailer park meth lab kingpins leave the country, drone strike - iairishcheeks - 4:38pm 12/3/25
        The Obama authorized drone strikes are not synonomous. [NT] - conorlarkin - 8:45pm 12/3/25
        You're going to have to make a better argument than that. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:45pm 12/3/25
        
        Are you drunk? [NT] - jimbasil - 2:43am 12/2/25
