The one overarching theme of every single action of the Trump administration is:
They do NOT give a fuck.
Not about compassion.
Not about "everyday Americans."
And certainly not about the law.
It's about power and greed above, and to the exclusion of, everything else.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment.
The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

As far back as during WWII, when vessels were sunk, it was considered illegal to kill survivors in the water. This is a well-established fact with tons of historical backing. It is illegal to kill survivors in the water, period. Even if they're running drugs, as has been claimed.
