#Hegseth’s order, which has not been previously reported, adds another dimension to the campaign against suspected drug traffickers. Some current & former #US officials & #LawOfWar experts have said that the #Pentagon’s lethal campaign—which has killed more than 80 people to date—is #unlawful & may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution.

The buyer pays $90,000, the seller receives $75,000 minus commission, and the auctioneer pockets both the commission and the $15,000 difference. This conduct is unethical and unlawful. When an auctioneer represents a […]

I have no #military experience, and am not a #legal expert of any kind. I'm interested in the experiences of both #veterans and people on #activeduty. Did your military branch educate you about refusing an #unlawful #order? Did you ever #refuse, or see someone refuse? What happened?
