They need to be absolutely clear that Trump is already committing war crimes. And anyone who follows these orders will be prosecuted when Trump is gone. Trump will fire anybody who defies him, but Dems should commit 100% publicly to restoring the rank and pension of any soldier who refuses to commit a war crime.
