Todd Huntley, a former U.S. Navy judge advocate and director of Georgetown's National Security Law Program, shares his deep insights into the legality of military operations. He discusses a controversial 'kill them all' order linked to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, highlighting how it may violate international law protecting shipwrecked personnel. The conversation dives into the duty to refuse unlawful orders, military reporting obligations, and the repercussions of operational decisions on military trust and accountability.
