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)
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.

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. 🤷

They'll have to form a line, for operation taint licking.

What right does the US have operating its military on the other side of the globe?
