I heard the interview and it was creepy.

But what is even creepier is that this administration has gone completely rogue in ignoring the law and the constitution and no one seems courageous enough to hold them accountable.

It seems like all the Generals and a good number of congressional representatives would have marched into the White House and taken him into custody by now.

Maybe it's time for all the veterans to get up and march on Washington. Since congress won't obey their oath of office, someone should hold them accountable, too.

I'd say that veterans should stand and honor our Oath of Enlistment, but I think it said something about obeying the orders of the President.

Oath of Enlistment:

"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

You will notice that the "obey orders" clause is dependent on "according to regulations and the [UCMJ]". The UCMJ is very clear about obeying only lawful orders:

To Obey or Not to Obey?

A march does nothing. Just like a sit in or a starvation or riding their bikes nekkid does nothing to make a change.
