1. La Orden de "Matar a Todos" y la Acusación de Crímenes de Guerra.
Reportes explosivos indican que Hegseth emitió una orden verbal de "matar a todos" tras un ataque inicial a una embarcación, lo que resultó en un segundo ataque dirigido a dos sobrevivientes que se aferraban a los restos. Esta acción es comparada con precedentes históricos de crímenes de guerra.
- Ordering the execution of unarmed survivors is deliberate, illegal and unmistakably a war crime.
- Hegseth ordered the u.s. Military to kill survivors of his boat strikes, even as they clung to wreckage in the water.
- Pete hegseth allegedly told jsoc kill everybody on a disabled drug boat, then ordered a second strike to finish off two survivors in the water. Thats the exact war crime doenitz raeder were hanged for at nuremberg.
- Kill everybody bombshell pete hegseth order blasted by lawmakers as blatantly illegal.
2. Debate Legal: ¿Crimen de Guerra o Asesinato?
La naturaleza de los cargos contra Hegseth depende de si Estados Unidos se considera en un estado de guerra. Muchos expertos y comentaristas argumentan que, al no haber una guerra declarada, los actos constituyen asesinato simple, aunque la acción en sí misma cumpla con la definición de un crimen de guerra.
- How can someone be a war criminal if there isnt a war? hegseth is a mass murderer.
- Since were not at war, its not a war crime, its murder. Hegseth and those who followed his illegal orders should all be brought to justice.
- If the u.s. Was at war, pete hegseths order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder.
- An order to kill all the boats occupants if they were no longer able to fight would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime.
3. Consecuencias y Responsabilidad en la Cadena de Mando.
Las acusaciones han provocado investigaciones bipartidistas en el Congreso y advertencias de abogados militares sobre la responsabilidad penal de Hegseth y de cualquier miembro del servicio que haya obedecido órdenes ilegales, incluyendo la posibilidad de enfrentar tribunales internacionales.
- Senate to launch bipartisan investigation into pete hegseth for potential war crimes.
- A group of former military lawyers have concluded, in a new statement, that hegseth and anyone under him, have committed war crimes, murder, or both.
- I was just following orders is not a legal defense to war crimes the only safe course is to refuse to follow all illegal orders.
- Trump is already distancing himself from hegseth, saying he wouldnt have wanted the second strike that likely constitutes a war crime.
