"Whom Will Our Military Be Ordered to Execute Next?" former Secretary of the Air Force
Frank Kendall asks
here in
The New York Times. Excerpt:
Our military leaders are trained to evaluate the legality of orders they are given. As part of their professional education, the American values of respect for and compliance with the law are reinforced throughout military officers’ careers. They all understand that they have a duty to challenge any order they believe may be illegal — and disobey any order they know to be illegal.
The order to preemptively execute alleged drug traffickers at sea has never been considered a legal act before. . . .
