Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Clearly the redacted Epstein Files will be released late on a Friday night. (12/5, 12/12, 12/19, etc.) The only question is when is it more politically expedient to initiate the bombing and attack? The day prior to the release, or the day after?
