Republican combat veterans in Congress urged service members to "stand strong" for law and order in a response video to Democratic lawmakers' message to troops about disobeying "illegal" orders.
"I’ve flown combat missions, and I know what happens when people disobey an order," Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, said Tuesday on "Hannity."
"This cannot happen to the men and women who are serving right now."
Nunn, a combat veteran, was among those featured in the Republican-led video urging service members to reject the message released by the Democrats.

Hooray to that message. United We Stand Divided We Fall. Thank you, God, for our military.
Civilians who have no time spent in military uniforms, by selective paraphrasing the codex U.C.M.J., are committing federal crimes towards those intended individuals.
(IMHO)
Democrat Senators want special power over the military. Senators want to be part of the chain of command if they are under the spell of hate and resentment and jelousy.
I am a Veteran, USAir Force B-52 pilot.
The Democrats’, “illegal Orders’ message” makes me sick!
Their reminding service members about ANY orders is going
out of bounds, disrespecting everyone who ever was sworn in to
Service.
I am insulted by that unneeded message!
But, “Consider the source!”
Mark Kelly should be in a Straight Jacket, in a padded cell!
SHEESH!
If one might suggest a few questions for the six, consider asking "who organized this? Who wrote and who reviewed your scripts? Who filmed, produced, edited, titled etc? Who is behind the curtain?"
And, one might be tempted to also ask..."Please define the Cloward Piven strategy, and might it's objectives (originally regarding "militant anti poverty groups" to facilitate a "political crisis" by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims) be extended to creating a discipline crisis and chaos in our military?"
Not accusing anyone of anything of course, just curious as to motives and goals and trying to be helpful.
Reading between the lines, the Senators are just consumed with hatred toward Trump.
How will the lawyers defend the Democrat’s message? Will the Judges be Democrat or Republican when they rule?
Stand strong, follow orders and avoid a court-martial.
Did the democrats complain when Obama was killing with drones?
You don’t disobey orders unless you are 100% positive they are illegal. Issues that are in political/legal dispute do not qualify.
“Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., who posted the video, wrote on X, “The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place.”
That’s a damn lie. They did this to undermine Trump. Where were they when Clinton bombed an aspirin factory or Biden put military in the cross hairs because of his failed bluff in Afghanistan. Or maybe we should talk about Carter’s screwup with the choppers in Iran. And I guess the decision to strand people under fire in Libya by Obama and H Clinton just didn’t happen?
And these idiots do not “have their backs.” When the military UCMJ goes after them these lying monsters will crawl back under the rocks they pushed aside to open their mouths.
The definition of an unlawful order has been around for long time. An unlawful order is a directive from an authority that requires a service member to commit a criminal act, violates the Constitution or U.S. law, or exceeds the authority of the official giving the order. These orders are not lawful and service members are required to refuse them. So that fail safe is already on the books and is part of the trained understanding of any seasoned troop. Setting up military personnel to exceed this by offering them protection that is unwarranted is an act of subversion towards treason. Can’t do much with the civilians that say this but the military members to include retired should be recalled and court martialed for using an international stage in this way. Article 92.

The Seditious Six will get away with it.
They said that soldiers don’t have to obey ILLEGAL orders.
But everybody already knows that!
So what’s their point?
Stirring up discord, and murder.
Because they’re democrats, that goes without saying.
Like repeating a line from a military training manual.
Would “Take no prisoners” be a legal order?
B—— is creating an opening her pet terrorists. What a disgrace to Michigan.
Ask the group to specifically identify which orders are illegal.
“What a disgrace to Michigan.”
They’ve already got their share of disgrace with Gretchen Whitmer.
