Talentless frauds close to the White House are making billions by crashing the American economy and selling out America’s allies. Here’s why democratic socialism is unthinkable.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
