There was a second strike on the boat that killed defenseless survivors.3 Hegseth is dangerous and proudly unwilling to follow the laws of war. Democrats introduced articles of impeachment last week, and Congress must act to remove him. Sign the petition: Impeach Pete Hegseth! The articles of impeachment list additional war crimes, including Hegseth's role in the U.S. bombing of an Iranian girls school at the beginning of the war. "Pete Hegseth broke his oath to the Constitution, put U.S. troops at grave risk through the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, engaged in abuse of office and conduct beneath the dignity of his office, and carried out unlawful military actions despite his obligation to refuse — including strikes on civilians and a girls' school in Minab, Iran," said Rep. Yassamin Ansari, who filed the impeachment measure.4 Hegseth has helped Trump throw the world into chaos with illegal wars, horrific threats, and unconscionable airstrikes. He must be removed.
