Wonder Warthog: "What does the military do in the face of this blatantly un-Constitutional and illegal order??"

By law the military, or any law enforcement agency, cannot obey unlawful orders, period.

But I agree with your concerns that four years of Hillary following eight years of Barrack may well have been enough to reduce the USA to a third-world banana republic.
Especially with Congress returned to Democrat rule, and the courts to activist judges... well, that's a nightmare I'd rather quickly forget.

You keep tap-dancing around the topic. How does the rank and file soldier decide?? Does he blindly follow the "duly elected" chain of command? Or does he follow his oath to the Constitution. Constantly repeating "cannot obey unlawful orders" like a mantra is just ignoring the question.

"But I agree with your concerns that four years of Hillary following eight years of Barrack may well have been enough to reduce the USA to a third-world banana republic.

Unfortunately, my mind refuses to forget.
