Ok, so these boats are targeted with some kind of missile, which would seem to be drone-launched, aircraft-launched, or surface-launched.  Given current "proclivities, I'd assume an AGM-114 Hellfire launched from a Predator or Reaper drone.

What on earth does any SEAL team have to do with this?  Or JSOC?

The drones could be launched from dang near anywhere, maybe likely a surface vessel in this instance, and controlled from really anywhere?

How so?  Is the argument "it's his fault for following our insane, stupid, and illegal orders....and it totally is NOT our fault for giving those orders?"

“The White House has confirmed that the admiral overseeing U.S. military operations against alleged drug-carrying boats had issued the order for a second strike that killed two survivors, an attack that has intensified legal scrutiny into the Trump administration’s lethal campaign.”

They will say it was Bradley’s call and his call only.

Was it not confirmed that it came directly from Hegseth?

Well, frankly, if he is a flag officer of the United States Navy that didn't at the least question these orders in the first place, he may deserve what he gets.  

ADM Holsey foreshadowed this shit.

Maybe using SOC was an end-around Southcom.

Admiral Bradley; the first of many they will throw under the bus. Better get your illegal orders in writing before illegally executing them (which does not excuse you from criminal liability).

And this is probably the reason for Great Britain said fuck you, we're not sharing our Caribberan intelligence any more.

Are we all supposed to ignore the epic meltdown from Trump and his SECDEF last week over giving illegal orders?

Yeah I was about to say, I’m sure we’ll be getting apologies from Dotard and Hegseth any minute now.

Looks like that got updated.  The initial article I read and quoted from just mentioned Bradley.  

I'm sure it did, but they're going to try to claim he acted unilaterally, without specific orders.

Either way, it would seem he's on the hook, with or without Whisky Pete.
