He might show that Hegseth knew about and approved the killing of shipwrecked people, but, he is still in the chain of command making this illegal decision. Maybe he and Pete can share a cell at Leavenworth, along with the pilot and shooter (maybe the same person?) who fired the weapon.

Nobody in the chain stood up and said "Oh, hell no!"
