The Department of Defense's Law of War Manual makes it clear in numerous instances that this is illegal, and specifically gives examples of survivors being fired upon, as being illegal.

I'm hoping that Hegseth continues down this shitty path....and that the Canadian publisher/owner of Franklin the Turtle strikes back with a sizeable lawsuit. Go get 'em...that is all that Trump et al understand.

The Texas Board of Ed. just tapped David Barton—whose Thomas Jefferson book was pulled off shelves by a Christian publisher for having too many lies—to shape what millions of kids learn in history class.

Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.
