Six Democrats urge military members to 'refuse illegal orders' in viral video; Hegseth responds

P

It shouldn't be. If you voted for Trump and support his illegal actions, you would be just as guilty ad he is.

A superior orders a soldier to engage in war crimes, such as:

Targeting civilians intentionally.
Torturing prisoners of war.
Looting or pillaging property.
A commanding officer orders personnel to suppress lawful protests in violation of First Amendment rights.
Violations of International Laws

It is a service member's duty to disobey unlawful orders. You can be court marshaled for obeying them.

President Donald Trump has not issued ANY illegal orders to the military. On the other hand, those Democratic Senators are encouraging the military to disobey the chain of command.

In your opinion.

Nope. Not in the slightest. They didn't tell them to disobey lawful orders. They correctly told them to disobey unlawful orders, which the military also does.

In your opinion.

The bar for the military is "manifestly illegal." If Trump's orders were "manifestly illegal" these matters would not be in appellate court. The courts are still trying to figure out if they are "manifestly illegal."

Nope. Not in the slightest. They didn't tell them to disobey lawful orders. They correctly told them to disobey unlawful orders, which the military also does.

And which the military would have, if any had been illegal orders.

Again, an "illegal order" (not to mention a "manifestly illegal order") is an order to break an existing law.

What is the existing law that the military has been ordered to break?
