UCMJ
“ART. 88. CONTEMPT TOWARD OFFICIALS
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. “

Ledt me get this straight. A commissioned officer in the US military is refusing to follow orders in a combat zone for political reasons and the populous of FR is cheering. Now I have seen everything. The precedent that this is setting is the end of the republic.

Isn’t desertion during time of war punishable by death?

Sorry guy...

I want the officers in the military to defend the CONSTITUTION and FREEDOM against ALL enemies...

INCLUDING THE DOMESTIC ONES. ESPECIALLY IF THE DOMESTIC ONES HAVE ACQUIRED THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT!!!

Your late to the party friend... The republic is already dead.
