The annual defense policy bill […] would withhold 25 percent of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget if he failed to give the congressional national security committees a copy of the execute orders behind the strikes, or to outline how he planned to facilitate future briefings about the operation with lawmakers in accordance with federal law.

Federal law requires the Defense Department to send execute orders to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees within 15 days of the defense secretary issuing the orders, but officials have failed to do so in the case of the boat strikes. The law also mandates that if the top Republicans or Democrats on the committees were to specifically request such an order, the department would have 30 days to comply, another timeline that the Trump administration has ignored.
Its pretty clear now that big chunks of the military have no problem complying with and energetically supporting trump and his illegal activities. I’d go further and say that the us government has lost control of the military now. They work for trump and his cabinet. They thumb their noses at the other branches of the disunited states government.
The US military has never had an issue committing war crimes, they been doing it for hundreds of years.
The myth of soldiers not following illegal orders is just that.
