""Should you have been put up against a wall and shot?
No...Unless I was found guilty of an offence that demanded being put up against a wall and shot.... as it was, I went to trail, and was found not guilty...but, the E-8 that issued the order never faced trial, he just retired..... the differences in the charges can be debated, and I will be happy to debate them, but the fact of the matter still stands..... he was ordered to deploy, he refused to deploy, he is a deserter....deserters are shot....please tell me 1) why he is not a deserter? 2) the last president of the united states that testified at a deserters triala? anything else that is said is irrelevant

He is not a deserter because he never received lawful orders that he disobeyed. The movement orders he received were part of deployment orders which were not authorized by Joe Biden, the only person who could possibly be authorized by SJ Res 23 to “use force”.

He disobeyed an unlawful order. Just like you. The orders you received conflicted with a higher order. Just like Lakin’s. The orders he received violated SJ Res 23. He had a duty to disobey those orders.
