The network news tonight praised Marco Rubio for the many positions he has held. The newsman, in glowing terms, described Rubio as the ultimate “Florida man”. Does Rubio understand that “Florida man”is the ultimate humorous insult, as in “Florida man goes skinny dipping in alligator infested pond.”

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
