Who determines that? Do we need Dominion to add portable voting tablets for all troops so insta-polls on orders can be tabulated?

Should individuals be able to bow out if they individually think an order is "illegal"?

What are these illegal orders? If they are obviously illegal wouldn't the troops by near unanimity be disobeying them?

Define "illegal" you stupid mother fricker.


According to UCMJ orders that violate the U.S. Constitution, U.S. laws, international law, or the laws of armed conflict. Service members have a duty to disobey them,

Do you think service members should obey illegal orders? Simple yes or no answer will suffice.

You and hundreds of thousands may have sworn an oath to defend the USCON -- and meant it -- but there's been precious little enforcing of the Constitution or laws like sedition, treason, and conspiracy to defraud The People.

Fealty to the US Constitution should precede fealty to CiC commands.

Individuals. Commanders. Officers.

If the orders are clearly immoral and unethical ergo illegal, that's a pretty easy call.

Use your imagination.

Maybe if one or two step up. But troops and police by and large are drilled to follow orders like automatons. The vast majority will do as their told, no matter what. We made fun of the WW2 Germans ("I was just following orders"), but our guys won't be much different. UNLESS a few recognize heinous, illegal orders.
