Well if it isn't the almost-Attorney General, folks.

"the combat decisions he has made" is the key phrase here -- Hegseth is making it clear he's distancing himself from the strike

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.
