people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?
Recognize that you've grown up in unusual, hyperpartisan times, and that your views of both American values and how government works have been severely skewed as a result.

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."

I mean, if Dönitz could reject Hitler's order to kill Allied survivors in the water, that pretty much removes any excuse a US Navy admiral could offer.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States.
The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

She assumed office on 1/3/21, so 1/6/26 will give her the five years required to get a congressional pension and lifetime access to FEHB health insurance. And it'd get her out of the blast radius of a GOP collapse.
