Massie is a libertarian but I can’t deny he is spitting straight fire today.

Massie argued that the administration had used what he called a “shaky legal scaffolding” to justify successive military operations as separate actions rather than one continuing conflict. “The law is on the books that Pete Hegseth is obligated to follow the laws on the books, not the laws that he wants to follow,” Massie said.

Massie further criticized Hegseth’s decision to dismantle a Pentagon function responsible for preventing civilian casualties, linking it to the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran on the first day of the war. “There’s no fog of war on the first day,” Massie said. “You’ve had months to identify these targets and pick them.”

He also accused Hegseth of putting American service members at risk through military operations that he said violated international norms of warfare. “When you go back for a second kill on people who are clinging to wreckage, you’re encouraging our adversaries to do the same,” Massie said, referring to allegations involving U.S. strikes against vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
