This trending topic is fueled by accusations that a high-ranking Navy officer, Admiral Frank Bradley, is being scapegoated for a controversial military strike ordered under the Trump administration. Critics allege that former President Trump and his allies, including Pete Hegseth, are using the admiral as a fall guy to avoid blame for potential "war crimes" or "illegal orders," thereby jeopardizing the careers and legal standing of military personnel and undermining trust in leadership. This sparks concern over accountability and the ethical treatment of service members.

“He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat,” said Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator. “A case study in how not to lead.”

Trump administration is ‘selling out’ admiral to shield Hegseth over boat strikes, officials say
White House names Adm Frank M Bradley as officer who ‘directed the engagement’, distancing Hegseth from accountability
I can imagine the scene at the White House as Trump, Hegseth, Leavitt and others decide to make Admiral Bradley the fall guy for ordering the strike that killed the two survivors of the first strike on the boat. Remember this scene from "The Maltese Falcon."
