Another in an ongoing series:
Dear Senator McCormick;
I am a constituent of yours and I'd like to ask you a few questions.
I'll point out again that you took an oath when you became Senator to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and, as you know, that's basically the same oath all officers in the United States Army take.
I'll make this week's questions simple.
Did Secretary Hegseth (or anyone under his command) commit war crimes by ordering the destruction of any of those alleged cartel boats in the Caribbean? This would include the story as reported in the media of the killing the two people clinging to the already destroyed boat.
Then there's this from the AP:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended strikes on alleged drug cartel boats during remarks Saturday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, saying President Donald Trump has the power to take military action “as he sees fit” to defend the nation.
Does the president have the authority to use the military in such a way? What if one of those actions is a war crime or something otherwise unconstitutional?
I'll await your answer.
And I'll post here whatever your answer.
