The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military.
That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

15.000 stillinger kuttet ved britiske universiteter i år: — Høyere utdanning ødelegges
En tredjedel av britiske universiteters realinntekter har forsvunnet det siste tiåret. Nå kan det bli innført en ny skatt som vil ramme mange universiteter hardt.

Again the question that needs to be asked is “HOW?”
Are you going to build more prisons? How? With what? Borrowed money? Tax rises?
Will you ship them off to El Salvador? Put them up in a Travelodge?

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
