“His ONLY obligation is to obey his orders, not become a silent slave.”

You are incorrect. He has to follow the UCMJ. That means to political statements in uniform. It doesn’t matter if you or I like/agree with it.

You seem to love that law. I don’t.

look, the military does not have to say anything

if they get an assignment from someone they don’t trust, the assignment will not happen

our military was strong because each member was trained to act independently and legally

that does not necessarily mean “ours not to reason why, ours but to do or die”

they have a duty to inform the higher ups that the plan won’t work, is stupid, they think it is a mistake

this ain’t a video game
