don't know much about the military chain of command but I think POTUS outranks Capt.

Disobey direct order ?? probably gets you in trouble

Organizing a service-wide refusal to disobey orders????

Wait 13 years and he is just a Captain? Has to be a mustang right? Also my next question is a reservist or is he getting out of active duty after 13 or 14 years? If so the guys lacking brain cells and shouldn’t be considered for a congressional seat.

Not relevant to this thread, but Trump would have won by more than he already did had theu put him in jail like they wanted to.

These people are so dumb, found him on Global, which is exactly what the SECDEF will do. His ILARNG unit, duty position, physical address, email, mobile phone...all there. Just shitting away a career for political posturing....

Advocating while in uniform is mutiny. I don't care what it takes but this guy's an example waiting to be made

He is 100% spot on! Except for the fact that he is wrong. It is not illegal. Hope he gets arrested.

He is not going to get one of these, unless SECDEF calls him to active duty and attempts to court martial him... Highly unlikely, unless it can be proven the video and comments were made while in a Federal Active Duty status...

Also, Illinois doesn't have its own "UCMJ" or state statutes governing Title 32 status, so he won't face anything there...

At best, he will be forced out with some counseling and bad OERs....

To be fair, you can wear O3 rank for a looong time before making O4.

He has former Congressman Adam Kinzinger written all over him, except he's a registered Democrat rather than a Democrat playing a Republican.

Go get him, Pete.
