No, it's tragic. It's going to cost the country dearly.

No, he doesn't. He says nothing with regards to the lawfulness of attack orders by the military. Not one word.

Sure. But it was you who referred to him for a counterargument.

"Lawyers will argue as to why their view is the correct one. Time will tell (or maybe not). "

The issue here is not what lawyers argue, but what the law says and what the Trump Camarilla says.

Dan Maurer, retired Army Lt. Col. and judge advocate:

The President and Defense Secretary issued an illegal order; that order propagated down the chain-of-command; plans were formulated, mission orders were issued, and the targets were destroyed.

Retired 4-star Army General Barry McCaffrey said the Pentagon's threats to Sen. Mark Kelly are making the U.S. start to look like the government of North Korea.

Wrong. I hate nobody.

But go on, tell more about yourself. It makes clear why you mean what you state.

"They should be reminded (and are) by their chain of command to follow the laws of land warfare, not by partisan politicians."

The entire civilian command authority from the White House to the Pentagon comprises of partisan politicians.

They should be reminded by everyone. Even their wives and parents.
They should even be reminding each other on a daily basis.

The chain of command is not always trustworthy.

Last month, in an unprecedented move, President Trump pardoned war crimes charges against three U.S. military service members. The decision provoked opposition from former military leaders and many veterans, but was applauded by some lawmakers and media.

Victims of America's war crimes had little means of accountability. Now, even that is being eviscerated.

"Should "career officers" even be ISSUING illegal orders?"

Of course not. They will face charges if they do.

Provided we don't have a criminal government in office, covering for them.
Like Trump is willing to do.
