'You must refuse illegal orders': Democrats in Congress encourage U.S. military to DEFY Trump and Hegseth

A handful of Democrats in Congress who served in the U.S. military and intelligence community are raising eyebrows with a new video encouraging current service members to refuse to follow "illegal orders" issued by the administration of President Donald Trump.

"We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe," the lawmakers say, taking turns in brief clips. "We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now."

"This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence-community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.

Sound like a lot of traitorous heads need to roll.

What they want are more assassination attempts on Trump.

I take it as a good sign. What are they afraid of?

They trial ballooned that tactic about a month ago. Said the troops backing up the ICE and local police should disobey orders or end up in a Nuremburg trail and prison for “just following orders.”

This is outright defiance of the law and encouragement of soldiers to disobey commands.

Fine. Resign your commission. Let someone else do the work.

The Democrats should remember this the next time a Dem is in the White House ordering the Navy to abandon Americans in Benghazi.

But "Surge the border" while leaving them wide open wasn't an illegal order.

And of course Democrats are perfectly happy to redefine what constitutes a “legal order.”

The chutzpah is strong in Mark Kelly. He’s a big gun control freak but he lied on a federal gun licensing form. I guess some people can pick and choose which laws they abide by.

Everyone wants to know that, but there is an air of futility in D.C. You can bring charges, but the deep-state, corrupt D.C. courts, prosecutors and juries will just laugh at the charges as they dismiss and fail to bring them to court.

We know the sissy woke generals in Trump’s first term used to muse about informing the Chinese Communist counterpart of an attack by the US, slowing down any initiatives by Trump and other disobedient acts that went along with the generals’ own personal prejudices.

Sick and very dangerous to our national security.

CNN on Milley’s book: “Milley and a handful of other senior officials were forced to confront Trump’s increasingly volatile behavior during the final months of his presidency only add to an already detailed portrait of dysfunction inside the White House at that time.”

Outrageous slanders by self serving generals”

This is to encourage civil war. One part of the military obeys instructions, another does not. They then meet to arrest each other.

Odd. All orders were legal orders when requiring the experimental shots for the WuFlu.
