    Isn’t this exactly the type of situation that was being used recently as an example of when an order is so blatantly illegal that the soldier is required not to follow it?

    When two survivors emerged from the wreckage, a Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions to “kill everybody,” according to The Washington Post, citing officials with direct knowledge of the operation.

    The two men were then “blown apart in the water,” according to the report.

      Yeah he didn’t get illegal orders, he gave illegal orders and unless Trump is going to say “everyone in my administration is pardoned of all acts performed during their time in my administration” he is clearly guilty of ordering people to be murdered without any due process.

      Oh you sweet summer child.

      Even when Trump dies, there is somebody much worse waiting in the wings. 2028 is not going to be a salvation.

    Is there already a case against him and the Trump administration at the ICC? If not, does anyone know how to start one?

    Awful however now even worse with Trump pardoning a real, not imagined, drug lord. Death without trial (or evidence) for potential and most likely poor drug runners but freedom for a convicted drug lord because he could pay Trump off.
