Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

Praying for the two soldiers attacked yesterday in DC and for calm and compassion toward the tens of thousands of Afghan refugees making this country better each day.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

My Grandfather, Ed Kander (“Pop” to me), would’ve been 102 today. He served in WW2 and was born 11/11/1923. He died just after his birthday in 2018 and he always said, “Every year on my birthday, they hold parades in my honor.”
