Email from Sterbinsky for Congress I joined the Navy at 22. Pete Hegseth should not be in a position of power and authority over our military. John, I joined the Navy at 22. One of the first things we studied in boot camp was the Geneva Conventions. We were taught very clearly: if the U.S. violates the Geneva Conventions, we lose the legal protection and moral authority that safeguards American servicemembers across the world. On my first ship, my entire triad was removed for ethical violations. The toxic dysfunction that followed shook our command and destabilized the crew. That experience showed me what happens when leaders abandon ethics: morale collapses, stability disappears, and people get hurt. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s reported order to “kill everyone” on unarmed speedboats is both immoral and illegal. But what followed, if true, was likely a war crime—a second strike on shipwrecked survivors that Hegseth is now trying to pin on the Admiral in charge of the operation. Hegseth has since doubled down, celebrating murder and death with immature tweets that show he still doesn’t understand the gravity of his orders or his position: Hegseth’s actions make Americans less safe and put our troops in jeopardy. At a minimum, he needs to be removed as SecDef — Congress must impeach Hegseth immediately. But more importantly, according to President Harry Truman’s famous saying, “The Buck Stops Here”: Donald Trump must also be held accountable for these crimes as Commander in Chief. When I joined the Navy, I took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Now I am running to unseat MAGA’s most dangerous Congressman, Rep. Paul Gosar, to continue serving our country. Congress needs more veterans like me who will stand up to Trump’s lawless Administration. I am running to fight for the safety and security of the entire country. Will you have my back as I take the fight to Trump and Gosar head-on?
