Michael New: A Patriot Court Martialed for Obeying His Oath of Duty.. U.S. Soldier Court Martialed for Refusing to Abandon His Oath..
“I am not a UN Soldier” says Army Specialist Michael New..
No U.S. soldier should be forced to become a UN soldier.

Many of us in 1996 were saying we swore an oath to the Constitution, not the UN charter.
NATO = United Nations
UN Agenda 21 , 2030 , Great Reset, ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Bttt
Model U.S. soldier refuses U.N. duty Medic says he joined to serve America, not a ‘foreign power’..
Court-Martial Goes Easy On Army Medic New - U.S. soldier who refused to serve under U.N. command was convicted of disobedience and given a bad-conduct discharge.
Spc. Michael New, 22, is the first American serviceman court-martialed for refusing to accept foreign command on a United Nations operation.
The jury could have slapped New with a dishonorable discharge, six months’ incarceration and a loss of pay. New’s attorney said he thinks the less-severe sentence indicates the jury believed New’s concerns were legitimate.
New, a medic from Conroe, Texas, stood impassively as the seven-man jury returned the verdict after 20 minutes of deliberation.

New was courageous and loyal.
I remember this well.
Typical anti-America Democrat.
Just try to imagine how corrupt our woke collection of ball-challenged, sex-challenged, and most definitely morality challenged military “leaders” are today.
No, wait, we really cannot imagine the depths of depravity into which our leaders have sunk. Some of them are really the sex they declare they are, some aren’t. Our Democrats have succeeded in bringing the military’s formerly highest level of regard down to the disgust we have with congress/FBI/CIA/IRS/and many many more.
BUMP
Add me to the ping, please.
Bill, Hillary, and their pals on parade
You are added. Thank you.
I didn’t know there was a ping list but I’d like to be on it.
During his trial, New's attorneys requested the Army to provide a classified executive order entitled Presidential Decision Directive 25 (PDD25) that had been represented by the Army to New as one of the legal bases for the order issued by then-President Bill Clinton. The Army prosecutor refused, whereupon the military judge ordered the prosecutor to show the classified document to New's attorneys. The prosecutor then produced a document representing it to be the classified version of PDD 25. Unknown to the military judge and New's defense counsel, the document produced was not, in fact, the classified PDD 25. New did not discover this until 2009, well after the court-martial and appeals, when through a Mandatory Review process New got a hold of the real classified document.
After review of the classified document, New's attorneys concluded that the document proves that New was right in alleging that President Clinton did not have the authority to make the deployment, for it was in conflict with the United Nations Participation Act of 1945.
"The Army had that document, and that document provided exculpatory evidence in favor of specialist New, and they withheld it," Herb Titus, one of New's attorneys said. "Withholding evidence favorable to a defendant in a court-martial violates not only due process but military discovery rules."
Everyone involved in the creating, delivery, and submission of that false document should be rotting away in Leavenworth.
