What We Know About SEAL Team Six Admiral Frank Bradley
…and What I Think We’ll See If He’s Questioned in a Bipartisan Hearing

The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #674: Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025
You’re living through something almost no American ever sees in real time:

A sitting four-star admiral…
A man who climbed every rung of the most elite ladder in the U.S. military…
A former SEAL Team Six commander turned SOCOM boss…

…suddenly finds his entire legacy hanging on one day…one decision…and one sentence:

“Kill them all.”

That…according to multiple reports…is what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered during the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean…an order that allegedly resulted in an initial missile strike…two survivors clinging to life… and a second strike that killed them.
Legal experts are already saying…out loud…what most of Washington is trying not to say on camera:

If the second strike killed defenseless survivors…that would be a crime under U.S. and international law…war or no war.

And the White House has now confirmed that the man who called in that second strike was Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley.

The operation…the memo that supposedly justified it…and the chain of command that produced it are all headed toward bipartisan hearings that could reshape how Americans see their military…and their would-be strongmen.

Before that circus begins…I want you to understand exactly who Bradley is on paper…
…and what I believe you’ll see when the cameras swing to his face and someone finally puts him under oath.

Much more at link. You won't see this anywhere else.
