So they're throwing Adm Bradley under the bus? Scapegoating him? [View all]

In a way, I don't give a shit.

He committed a war crime. To call him a scapegoat is to give him some sympathy. He deserves no such thing.

I do, however, care about his scapegoating because it casts in a harsh, bright light the horrible leadership that does that to a subordinate. Whiskey Pete gave the criminal order.

In my view, they can both resign and walk out the door. I wish them prosecution.
