Tommy Vietor: "Donald Trump is murdering random fisherman off the coast of Venezuela and then pardoning the drug trafficker politicians who are in league with the cartel bosses. This is the most corrupt White House in history."

“The alleged traffickers pose no imminent threat of attack against the United States and are not, as the Trump administration has tried to argue, in an “armed conflict” with the U.S., these officials and experts say. Because there is no legitimate war between the two sides, killing any of the men in the boats “amounts to murder,” said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years...” 1/

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

The Washington Post
"A coalition of former and retired military judge advocates has also issued a rare joint statement warning that the Pentagon’s effort to recall Kelly for UCMJ prosecution is partisan in nature, legally baseless and compromised by unlawful command influence":

Hegseth focuses on potential punishments for Sen. Kelly in confrontation over ‘illegal orders’ video

Publicly, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been highly critical of the six Democratic lawmakers who released a video last week urging military service members to disobey illegal orders, calling the lawmakers the “Seditious Six” and categorizing their message as “despicable, reckless, and false.”

U.S. service members take an #oath to uphold the #Constitution.

Article 92 of the #UniformCodeOfMilitaryJustice & the U.S. Manual for Courts-Martial, service members must obey lawful orders & disobey unlawful orders. #Unlawfulorders are those that clearly violate the U.S. Constitution, international #humanrights standards or the #GenevaConventions.

Following orders from a superior is no defense.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "Pres. Trump is using fear as a weapon. Using fear to silence anyone who disagrees with him. It should be condemned by Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. I won't back down, and I won't let the President put words in my mouth."

Rep. Jason Crow: "It's telling that when members of Congress simply remind service members of the Constitution and their duty to obey the law, Pres. Trump cannot handle that, and he resorts to threats of violence and arrest and execution."
