"You have the right to not obey illegal orders"
Ya know, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box,
but even I can interpret this correctly.
So how come the orange one and his lil minions do not understand what this means?
Their responses have unfortunately crossed the line. Death to elected officials? Unbelievable.
Let me introduce a few new words for the right - Treason, corruption, impeachment.... Oh wait, they should be familiar with impeachment already.
When is this shit going to STOP?????

And, therefore, it won't be.

(12,327 posts)every Service Member has the duty to refuse 'illegal orders'. Look up 'My Lai Massacre' for an example of an illegal order.

(12,412 posts)it will be straight forward.
I hope the courts ultimately conclude that is an "illegal order." But I wouldn't bet on it. Not like he hasn't sent troops to cities already, which would seem to be illegal as well.

(17,471 posts)Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper's memoir, 'A Sacred Oath,' stated Trump suggested troops should shoot protesters in the legs during a meeting in the Oval Office in June 2020 amid widespread protests following the death of George Floyd. Trump asked Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?"

(12,217 posts)The extrajudicial executions of "narcoterrorists" is outrageously illegal, and I am extremely disappointed that apparently NO ONE refused to commit those murders. That doesn't bode well for future illegal orders, IMO.

(4,143 posts)The executioners at Auschwitz, Chełmno, Majdanek, Bełżec, Sobibór, and Treblinka were "Just following orders" that they believed to be "legal".
At some point it is up to the individual to choose which orders are moral. Whether their labeled "legal" or "illegal".

The louder they scream, the more they know that the MAGAts will foam at the mouth.

(548 posts)That what ever he says is OK because he said it was. Nixon once said that if the president does it its not illegal. Watergate proved him wrong.
From the beginnings of faux news, hardcore conservatives have been trying to overturn what watergate brought.

(3,789 posts)but I still think he is distracting from Epstein AND his plummeting numbers including the economy. Remember he is the master of distraction but who knows what his actions will entail?
And I want to know WTF he wears an American flag pin when he hates this country
It all comes to a screeching fucking halt when the Democrats take both houses of Congress!
Now, there may not be much left in a year, I don't know.

The people hiding Anne Frank were breaking the law.
The people who killed her were following it.
Just because it is legal does not mean it is lawful (or moral)
A reminder that the Nazis were hunted and tried well into their nineties.
