Hegseth said US military should refuse ‘unlawful’ Trump orders in unearthed 2016 interview

Defense secretary’s comments recirculating amid dispute over US strikes on alleged drug boats in Caribbean

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, stated repeatedly in 2016 on Fox News that US service members should refuse “unlawful” orders from a potential president Trump – exactly the position he called “despicable” when Democratic lawmakers said it last month.

The debate about whether US soldiers should refuse illegal orders is now at the center of a fiery political dispute over the US killings of alleged drug traffickers in boats off the coast of Venezuela and Colombia.

In video unearthed by CNN from March of 2016, when Donald Trump was a Republican presidential candidate, Hegseth responded to Trump’s comments in a debate by clarifying that service members did, in fact, have a duty to refuse any illegal orders.

“You’re not just gonna follow that order if it’s unlawful,” Hegseth, then a Fox News contributor, said in an appearance on the show Fox & Friends, where he would eventually become a host....

....Critics have described the attacks as illegal and extrajudicial killings, noting that the crime of drug-smuggling – even if true – is not subject to execution without trial. The administration has justified its attacks by declaring various groups as “narco-terrorists”.

In recent weeks, Hegseth has criticized Democrats for expressing concerns similar to those he expressed before Trump was elected...

....Hegseth himself has accused the Democratic lawmakers of spreading “despicable, reckless, and false” information. On Saturday he compared suspected drug smugglers to al-Qaida terrorists. “If you’re working for a designated terrorist organization and you bring drugs to this country in a boat, we will find you and we will sink you. Let there be no doubt about it,” Hegseth said at the Ronald Reagan presidential library in Simi valley, California....

....In 2016, however, he argued that service members could face criminal consequences for carrying out illegal commands, and said the military were obliged to refuse them.

“Here’s the problem with Trump,” Hegseth told the Megyn Kelly show on Fox after the debate in which Trump made the comments. “He says: ‘Go ahead and kill the family. Go ahead and torture. Go ahead and go further than waterboarding.’ What happens when people follow those orders, or don’t follow them? It’s not clear that Donald Trump will have their back.

“Donald Trump is oftentimes about Donald Trump,” he said, adding: ““If you’re not changing the law, and you’re just saying it, you create even more ambiguity.”
