    Which, by the way, Rules of Engagement are orders from theater commanders (4 star Generals typically). Assuming the ROE doesn’t itself violate the law, they are lawful orders. Hegseth telling people to ignore/violate ROE is in fact telling people to violate lawful orders, the very crime he wants...

    Politics U.S. destroys Venezuelan vessels | Trump announces blockade of oil tankers

    That’s exactly what this shit is. Crap like “kinetic strike” and “warfighter” and “lethality” are all buzz words that are used repeatedly in military education courses and by generals/admirals.

    Politics U.S. destroys Venezuelan vessels | Trump announces blockade of oil tankers

    Soleimani was a uniformed soldier in another nation’s military and was providing direct support to an opposition force in an ongoing armed conflict. That situation isn’t even close to comparable.

    Politics Trump goes bananas over Dem message to military re: illegal orders

    On the topic of unlawful orders it is very easy to think of hypothetical orders that would be unlawful that could come from the White House: - Orders to commit genocide - Orders to kill non-combatants or to disregard the distinction between combatants and non-combatants (a combatant is someone...

    Politics Trump goes bananas over Dem message to military re: illegal orders

    This isn’t surprising. I don’t want to dox myself and give my exact credentials, but I’m a bit of an expert in Law of Armed Conflict and this situation is like a basic exam question on the topic. Very basic.
