[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a former judge advocate. Was deployed as a lawyer in Afghanistan. Striking the boat a second time was not manifestly unlawful; therefore, the order needed followed.  Not a war crime. Not murder. [/quote]
That’s disgusting, if true. Expect enemy combatants to deliver the same mercy to American troops. [/quote]

It is not true and PP is not a judge advocate, they just play one on the internet.

It was illegal. These are war crimes.  The admiral should have resigned instead of following these orders.[/quote]

Yes - really a former judge advocate.  The boats can absolutely be legitimate military targets.  There is no need for a declaration of war to determine something is a legitimate military target.  And if the boats and drugs are not destroyed with the first missile, you can fire a second.  [/quote]
This is contrary to all reporting and expert analysis on the issue, but go off[/quote]

Please provide me the “expert analysis” divorced of political agenda. The DoD Law of War Manual is 1000 pages of “food for thought”.  The reality is targeting decusions are made by comanders on the ground using high level intelligence that no on potificating on these strikes on the internet has seen. [/quote]
