[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Hmm. Should we believe this anonymous DCUM MAGGAT or the military times and the former JAGs that sent a memo declaring that these were war crimes?

A group of former military lawyers issued a memo Saturday condemning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for allegedly ordering a special operations commander and military personnel to kill everybody aboard an alleged drug-carrying vessel on Sept. 2.

These right-leaning individuals have also questioned the legality of Hegseth’s orders.

- Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS): As chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee

- Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL): Chair of the House Armed Services Committee

- Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): A veteran and Armed Services Committee member

- Bret Baier (Fox News):  res anchor

- John Fund (National Review): The conservative columnist and editor-at-large [/quote]

ok, that's all and good, but give on on trying to find a technicality that is going to cause Trump's demise--this strategy is not going to work. [/quote]

The only thing or person that can cause Trump‘s demise is Trump himself. He is literally his worst enemy. He f’s up everything he touches eventually. By the time he’s done, he will destroy the GOP for a long time to come.[/quote]
