No wonder Trump is outraged by warnings about illegal orders

Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard law professor who headed the Office of Legal Counsel in the George W. Bush administration, wrote online: “If the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water,’ as the Post put it.” A working group of former judge-advocates general also weighed in: “Orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are ‘patently illegal,’ anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.”

    1. So you equate mandatory vaccination with murder!. Why is mandatory vaccination illegal? I guess you think requiring doctors to wash their hands is also illegal? Maybe the requirememnt for restaurants to be clean is also illegal?
