Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

ICE detain active duty U.S. Navy Sailor in full uniform—refuse to accept military ID.

"Agent said he had 'reasonable suspicion' to suspect he was in U.S. illegally," said Navy Chief Marquise.

"He needs to provide other ID to prove citizenship... military ID is not sufficient."

Libraries are sites of refuge, where curiosity is nurtured, where people find shelter, education, entertainment, job assistance, skill-building programs, and access to resources that would otherwise be out of reach.

Gah, the answer is yes, if servicemembers want to avoid criminal prosecution, they must follow all LAWFUL orders & ALSO NOT follow orders they KNOW/should know are UNLAWFUL. UCMJ, art. 90; US v. Calley (1974). Every member bears this burden b/c we tho't the Nazi justfollowingorders defense was bad.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?

McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

(Not a no!)

At schools, young people share a lot with their classmates: many lessons, joyous and sad moments.

They stand up and say, “No! You can't take any of us away!”

Do adults hear their voices?
