Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

All the anti-trans stuff this week (really, this whole year and the past several leading up to it — but especially this week) has taken a real toll on me.
I feel so sad, scared, and angry. I feel like I don't belong in this world, and that really sucks.

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.

One is legally required NOT TO FOLLOW illegal orders, such as firing upon the shipwrecked.
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."

I enlisted in the military. If I received an order to "shoot those people" who were clearly unarmed and civilian - that aint no slippery slope. I would NOT do it. Clearly orders have been given to blow up people on boats. There are already people in peril on that one when the evidence comes out.
