Reminder why Trump wanted to be President again:
1. Escape criminal charges for committed crimes incl. insurrection & stealing national security secrets
2. Line his pockets w/riches only made possible by being President
3. Retribution against *all *perceived enemies
That's it.

That’s not how it works. They are not lawful orders simply because DOJ tells them they are.
DOJ (longer):
“[T]he strikes were ordered consistent with the laws of armed conflict, and as such are lawful orders.
“Military personnel are legally obligated to follow lawful orders and, as such, are not subject to prosecution for following lawful orders.”
