   “On Sept. 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated,” she said.

   At the time of the attack off the Trinidad coast, Frank Bradley was head of the Joint Special Operations Command. According to a Washington Post report about the incident, it was he who relayed the order from Hegseth to “kill everybody” by sending Navy SEALs back to the disabled boat to have them kill the two people clinging to the wreckage.

   It is impossible to read this reporting without recalling the darkest scenes from World War II films in which Nazi officers ordered machine gunning of survivors in lifeboats. Those acts cemented their place in history as war criminals. The fact that we are now confronting reports of U.S. officials issuing “kill everybody” orders to eliminate unarmed survivors clinging to wreckage should chill every American. This is not only a moral collapse, it is a deliberate dragging of our military’s honor into the mud.

   This is precisely why Senator and Captain Mark Kelly is correct to emphasize that American service members have a duty to refuse unlawful or unconstitutional orders. The Constitution is not a suggestion, and the chain of command is not a shield for criminality. If the United States begins normalizing the execution of survivors, we are on a path that history has already judged, and it has judged it harshly.

   Stand with Senator and Captain Mark Kelly, the REAL Captain America of today.
