Traitors don’t get to just “resign”

Yeah! They get to finish their terms and collect a paycheck the rest of their lives!

And have better health care than the people they "serve"

Why would he resign? It’s not like they’re going to impeach him if he doesn’t. Just ask Jeffries.

The power-crazed don't resign without either a serious fight, or a strong inducement - usually financial and/or a path to a similarly powerful position.

It was so obvious he was pinning it on the Admiral. But if anything were to go to court, it's simple,

"I was given the order to, quote, kill everybody While I would seek alternatives myself, this was a direct order from the secretary of Defence and so must comply."

"So you admit to the double tap performed with Mr Hegseth unaware of the atrocities?"

"He gave the order to kill everybody."

"You did not think to double check that with him first?"

"No. He gave the order to kill everybody."

"And why did you do strike a second time?"

"We located some alive. He gave the order to kill everybody."
