    If he went to their homes and strangled them himself? Yes. If he ordered someone to do it? The laws and UCMJ apply to those people so no. There’s this thing people keep forgetting about. The UCMJ isn’t just guidelines. It’s actual rules. And murder is still illegal.

      I was actually think of him pulling a Vlad the Impaler and inviting them over for dinner.

      If there’s anything I learned from the Trump years, hell even the Bush II years, is that there are no rules if no one enforces them.
