Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

For a vet, Rep Tom Barrett sure is a wuss. Chalk messages outside his office? A challenger w/a fursona? Is he also afraid of his own shadow?
Let's review his OTHER possible Dem opponents: Brink - former Ambassador to Ukraine; Maasdam - former Navy SEAL. Fearless.

Michigan GOP Rep. Tom Barrett sent out a frantic fundraising email claiming "the furries are coming for me" after learning his Democratic challenger is an Army National Guard veteran who happens to have a furry persona named Elyon Badger.

While M4L lost ALL their contested races, the dangers of book banning & censorship are very much w/us. My new novel, The Librarian's Son, tells the story of an extremist group that targets a librarian when her young son starts to echo the life of a firefighter killed on 9/11. Use code below to buy!

I once toured Atlanta’s 175-year-old Oakland Cemetery with a friend. Were struck by how many families lost multiple children within days of each other. We realized it was due to the lack of vaccines.
And this kooky, lying moron wants to take us back to those days. RFK Jr. should resign.
