‘We all know’: Pete Hegseth is under formal investigation for ‘war crimes’, but people think he will be excused

Like a father, Donald Trump may sometimes be pissed at his children (meaning his Republican stooges), but he is always ready to forgive them, and people believe that he would be doing the same thing again.

Recently, it was revealed that United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth would be put under formal investigation for his actions during his troop’s early September Caribbean Sea patrol that saw them attacking and killing several people in a vessel who allegedly had ties to drug trafficking. An article from The Washington Post claimed that Hegseth asked his officers to “kill everybody”, which is why, after the initial firing, when two people were still alive, the special operations commander who was in charge of the military operation ordered for a second round of firing. If that is the case, then Hegseth could be tried for “war crimes” for unlawfully killing the survivors of the vessel when they were potentially of no threat.
