Hegseth's "Kill Everybody" Drug Strike Order and the Duty to Refuse That Didn’t Happen. A Deeper Look Analysis.
In recent days, information has surfaced that provides what appears to be a textbook example of an unlawful order that could have—and should have—been refused.

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

The problem for military personnel is that by the time an operational order reaches them, they assume that someone higher up must have signed off on it. (Which is correct.)
Instead of carping about "the military," ask where General Caine and the joint chiefs are.

Spare us all the "few bad apples" line when no member of the armed forces has been accused of refusing to murder civilians. Not. One.
Honor and dishonor are about what people actually do.

A DOD "Memo" saying no prosecution will happen isn't going to save you from life in a military prison for murdering civilian fisherman. Taking orders from a Fox News host who ordered you to do it isn't going to look real good to a jury.

Absolutely. Doing this remotely with drones or bombs is no different than pulling up in a boat and shooting them in the water. If this isn’t an illegal order, hard to imagine what could be.
And unlike some of the finer questions of “was the president’s inherent Art 2 powers in play”, shouldn’t offing people who are hors de combat be clearly known to be an illegal order all the way down the line to the lowest Seaman?

Pete Hegseth is planning for the military to sever all ties with Scouting America, saying the group once known as the Boy Scouts is no longer a meritocracy and has become an organization designed to "attack boy-friendly spaces," according to documents reviewed by NPR.

Here’s something interesting: Even if members of Congress for some reason advised members of the military to disobey *legal* orders (which, to be clear, they did *not* do), even *that* wouldn’t be sedition.

Weird AI thing: So, now that I'm kind of in the traditional author world, I regularly get spam from people promising to introduce my book to tons of book clubs to make lots of sales. A few years ago, they were clearly spam both for the offering and because they were generic. Now they aren't generic.
