Former JAGs Say It’s Murder
By I did not know that JAGs fired by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump had formed a working group. They issued a statement that Just Security has placed on the web.

We also advise our fellow citizens that orders like those described above are the kinds of
“patently illegal orders” all military members have a duty to disobey.
Since 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.
The leaders of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) and Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), say they will investigate.
As someone said on Bluesky, “Kill them all, God will know his own,” is not something the good guys say.
