Good point. The clearly extrajudicial killings indicate that the men and women of SOUTHCOM and likely SOCOM apparently need some remedial training on the necessity of refusing illegal orders.
The jury is still out on the rest of the US military, but so far, the USM is getting a failing grade. /1

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

People dress comfortably for air travel because
a. they're going to be in a small space for several hours
b. they don't want to set off metal detectors
c. they want to be able to take their shoes off easily

Bro, we just want the planes to take off and land, on the agreed-upon schedule, can you focus on that?
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
