For his latest cowardice (spot my bias), it seems a few days he agreed to Trump's demands to weaken Starlink so Ukraine's use was restricted, making them less able to defend against Russian jet-powered drones hitting civilian targets. How is that an action of a man worthy of any praise?

I assumed he ordered his Starlink-lackeys (also a group of self-serving cowards, in my opinion from the point of view on my high horse) because he wanted to remain/get back on Trump's good graces...

They're passing the buck between them because a bunch of people in Ukraine got killed because of this and they don't want to be stuck with the responsibility for that. The aiding-and-abetting link has never been that clear and direct. There is also still an outside chance that this was a solo action by Hegseth.

I wonder how those employees feel and why they didn't refuse the order. Let him do it himself.
