Published | Video Starts at 00:36

It seems to you mentioned that you are a captain in the Navy. If you received that order, would you have carried it out? No, no. And I. I'm a guy who. I have sunk two ships. You know, I've sunk an OSA 2 missile patrol boat in Kuwait harbor, a Palnockne troop carrier in the Persian Gulf during the first Gulf War. I never in that situation question whether those strikes were legal. We were given an order to do this. It was a time of war. (00:36–00:45)
