According to the Geneva convention and customary international law, @realDonaldTrump is saying he is prepared to commit war crimes. Intentionally targeting civilians or cultural sites is a war crime, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ROADSIDE BOMBS ARE LEGAL OR NOT
@realDonaldTrump To be clear, I have no problem with a President threatening retribution if we are attacked, or even saying enemy sites are targeted. That can be an effective deterrent/negotiating tactic. But there are PLENTY of legitimate military targets he could use. Cultural sites are ILLEGAL
@realDonaldTrump .@DeptofDefense, you all took an oath to obey orders from the President & "the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations & the Uniform Code of Military Justice." UCMJ states military personnel must obey "LAWFUL orders." You must DISOBEY ILLEGAL orders
