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."

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Trump is falling apart both politically and physically. Little by little pieces of his body are falling off him like the zombie he is. It may take a bit but with some luck 2026 may see him take his stench to somewhere warmer, much warmer.
