Hegseth:

“Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting us. When this @DeptofWar says we have the back of our warriors — we mean it.”

It is not at all hard to believe that Hegseth would have given the order in some form or other.

Is it another case of "I take no responsibility at all".

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.

The well worn "rogue underling" defense, used by "JCs" far and wide, while they rake in 8 figure paydays, for being "responsible for corporate performance".

"Personal responsibility" is for suckers and Proles.

I dunno. He issued the order to "kill them all". My understanding is "kill them all" was an oral order. I'm into an area where I need an expert in the areas opinion, but I think if there's evidence an oral order was given to kill them all, that would stand up. "Destroy it" is the order to give, not "kill them all".
