"I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes. If you're doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that. That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their commander-in-chief. There's a standard, there's an ethos. There's a belief that we are above what so many things that our enemies or others would do."
"He said he was optimistic there were Americans who were willing to put their lives on the line for the country, but that he hoped we get a commander-in-chief befitting of that loyalty in the 2016 election."
"Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA)."
A 2016 recording captures Pete Hegseth, then a Fox News contributor, stating there must be consequences for abject war crimes and unlawful actions. He said if soldiers commit actions that are completely unlawful and ruthless there should be consequences and that the military will not follow unlawful orders from a commander-in-chief. He described a military ethos and standard that places U.S. forces above conduct attributed to enemies or others. He criticized then-President Barack Obama's foreign-policy decisions and expressed hope for a commander-in-chief befitting service members' loyalty in the 2016 election. Recently, Hegseth and President Donald Trump criticized several Democratic lawmakers for urging service members to follow military codes and refuse illegal orders. The lawmakers named include Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Chris Deluzio, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Jason Crow, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan.
