Iran War: Warren Blasts Pentagon For Sidelining Military Lawyers, Endangering Civilians - Senator Elizabeth Warren

At a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) raised her concerns to the commanders of United States Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) about the Trump administration’s sidelining of the military’s Judge Advocate General Corps (JAGs), who are responsible for providing independent legal advice to commanders. This sidelining risks increasing the chances of civilian harm as the war against Iran continues. - 03/19/2026.

Then going before the Congress and on National News to explain what was going wrong that they were reacting to. They have power in heir status and years of experience. They tried to answer with scripted talking points like most of Trump's cabinet flunkies. It's sad to see professionals who had to work and achieve their whole lives to get where they are ignore the power that they have and just cave to Trump.
