I don't think either of those was illegally, much less blatantly so. If you go to a foreign nation openly incite the e killing of Americans, you're fair game.

And given all the precedents of armed conflict without declarations of war, Libya wasn't clearly illegal either.

But if you're ordered to deliberately target and kill the innocent wives and children of terrorists, well, I wouldn't follow that order. And yes, I've been there.

It may come to that Brother because you know as I do the women and kids will pick that weapon up when it is dropped.

There is nothing "innocent" about war.

Knowing my wife, children and now gchildren they would be meeting them at the gate if our country was invaded or a foreign military was on our soil. I know some that were feeling that way even though we were there to "hunt the Ace of Spades".
