I find it odd that so many people seem to think killing the other people in the boat was not murder, unless the survived and were then killed? What...?

Just sharing another example from today of how blocking people for expressing different views shits down informed debate.

Days ago, this guy blocked me for disagreeing on the military following illegal orders. Too bad, I was curious on his take.
Today a Bezos Post story proves my point that the oaths as defense of law, in reality, are a myth. Military brass almost never honor that oath.

Thanks. I read your piece. To me it is another case of the theoretical ("look at these oaths on paper") versus the sad reality (politicized and heavily Republican officer corps being purged by Trump).
Many debates come down to this divide. So, it gives me less confidence in the military.

NOTE: The military failed to honor their famous oath to uphold the constitution and law when they followed illegal orders and murdered those men.
That's the reality. The oath as defense against lawbreaking is a myth.

The people who carried out the illegal and murderous orders are those famous commanders and rank and file who took those oaths that, we're told, mean they never follow illegal orders.
Those oaths mean nothing. It's complete B.S. and the romanticizing the military is deadly.

Let's not lose site of the fact that military officers who took the oath to uphold the law violated their oath by murdering those people. Reality wins over theory, again.
The military brass seldom honor that oath. Time to stop romanticizing and hero worshipping them.

Remember how the military took oaths to follow the law so, therefore, nothing illegal happens?
Yeah, well, that's a lie, or delusion, or magic thinking.

This country needs a long and deep conversation on the practices of collective blame / punishment.
Across the political spectrum collective blame of identity groups is fashionable. This is the reality of identity politics.
