I don’t think that the point was what tRump has doneHuey » 21 Nov 2025, 12:13 pm » wrote: ↑ What is stupid about this whole thing is service members are already obligated not to obey unlawful or illegal orders. And the law members did not give any examples.
Examples in a Military Context
Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), service members have a duty to disobey a "patently illegal" or "manifestly unlawful" order. Examples include:They get trained about this often. So what unlawful orders have they been given?
- Targeting or intentionally harming civilians or non-combatants.
- Torturing or abusing prisoners of war or detainees.
- Committing war crimes such as looting or pillaging property.
- Falsifying official documents or legal records.
- Using military force for unauthorized domestic law enforcement in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act (unless properly authorized by the Constitution or Congress).
- Engaging in personal favors unrelated to military duty, such as ordering a subordinate to wash a personal vehicle.
- Orders that are impossible to carry out, such as "swim across the Atlantic Ocean"
Its a warning to the troops about what tRump might do
and to remind them that they don’t have to “follow illegal orders”
A weird thing to say for sure
The weirdest thing is … The people tRump wants to put in jail are veterans
even weirdest… they felt the need to say it
but
It’s a cornered rat thing
