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."

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.

The college capitulations are giving me vertigo. Standing up to Trump made Mark Kelly look like Grace Kelly, so why can’t all these PhDs who know too much see that caving in is for the birds?

The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald is the last significant Shipwreck on Lake Superior #AT40
Surprisingly, the version you hear is the first time the band ever performed it. The Drummer improvised his part when Gord pointed at him to start. They tried multiple times to better it but none did.
