I still can't figure out why this one guy has them so exercised. I think it's like any other group of juvenile delinquents - tell them they can't do something, and that's the one thing they want to do more than anything else.

Zinke says Washington would have hanged those who say service members must refuse to follow unlawful orders. Because The Father Of Our County was big on committing war crimes.
If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.

Hegseth will offer the "But I Really Wanted To" defense.
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."

Pete Hegseth ordering the killing of survivors of a boat strike instead of saving them for interrogation is exactly why the military needed to be reminded not to obey illegal orders.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.

Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.
