US DOD Law Of War manual, sections 18.3.2 and 18.3.2.1

Obligation to refuse to comply with illegal orders is clearly outlined, and "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked" being literally the textbook example of an illegal order.

Conveniently, these both start on the same page.

Who talks like this?

In theory, this nonsense was like .. vetted and proof-read .. and actual adults saw it, and were like "Yep. Good message. Post it."

In reality, our country is being run by 12 year olds.

This is twitter/x these days. They quickly turned off the feature that allows you to see this info.

Just a reminder that they told the troops not to obey *illegal* orders. Its very telling that he assumes his orders would fall into that category.

The picture with my phone came out crappy, but I just saw the largest brightest rainbow I've ever seen in my life out over the city. Just wanted to share something nice for a change.

Next time some conservative or republican tries to talk about "patriotism" , remind them that they're literally tearing down the white house.

Thank your letter carrier now and then - they have a hard job with a lot of blame and not a lot of recognition.

I recently returned from a short vacation to Germany.
I can confirm that German #Fanta (on the right) is significantly better. The swill they sell us here just ain't the same ....

Not only did they win that election, but Joe Biden went on to be the deporter in chief. The right-wing's blatant lies about the immigration are the issue, not the Democrats policy positions.

Just a reminder that Trump already had his big parade years ago, and doesn't need another one. #NoKings #Parade #Army250 #Protest
