All military units have an inherent right to defend themselves. That means they can attack without orders if they are attacked or if an attack on them is imminent (missile lock, pointing a gun etc)
According to who?
The same people invading other countries in the first place? Not sure I completely trust their judgment on what's moral but that's just me. 🤷
So basically just position yourself in a way that causes aggression or retaliation & you're in the clear?
Yup, then they retire and teach cops this heinous shit... (Source: Prior service. My POS platoon sgt became a POS consultant for cops)
* Israel has entered the chat *
military units have an inherent right to defend themselves.
That is the point of the mockery. There is no such as an inherently right to defend yourself except in the legal fiction that is international/military law.
That would be like me claiming I have the inherent right to defend myself.....even when I've just kicked down my neighbor's door while wielding a rifle.
Law that disregards context, motive, or logic is just a constructed fiction to justify intent.
Except that's granting the narrative that this was in fact self-defense. The fact you're not questioning America's framing on this reveals you're not as neutral as your words suggest.
Counterpoint: Most military units can lick my taint.
I agree, Iran has the right to defend itself against america and jizzraels epstien war
Captain Tim Hawkins said the targets included "missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines".
What right does the US have operating its military on the other side of the globe?
