Rep. Seth Moulton: "I know active-duty Marines who refer to Hegseth's department as "Department of War Crimes"

Trump’s defense secretary has overseen so many alleged atrocities that his department has earned a horrifying new nickname from the people who work there.

“I know active-duty Marines who now refer to Pete Hegseth’s department as the Department of War Crimes,” Rep. Seth Moulton, himself a Marine combat veteran, told MS NOW.

“That’s because they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime,” the Massachusetts Democrat went on, referring to Trump’s intention, announced Wednesday, to begin targeting Iranian civilian energy infrastructure as part of the his war on Iran.
