“Hegseth has derided international law and the domestic laws governing war for many years, and he has been a vocal cheerleader for accused and convicted war criminals. His advocacy for war criminals was one of the main reasons why he was unfit to be Secretary of Defense, and he is already proving his critics right. It is unsurprising but still alarming that he would remove officers that might get in the way of future lawbreaking. Presumably he will now fill these roles with replacements that share his ideological hostility to the rule of law.” (02/24/25)
