A lawmaker who earned the Bronze Star during combat in Iraq as a Marine officer is denouncing President Donald Trump's foreign policy as "rudderless," and calling on active-duty military officers to question the orders they're getting from the commander in chief and refuse to follow them if they're not lawful.

This is what it’s like when you have the 90% of the media on your side. You get to say stuff like this with impunity.

There are consequences for those who disobey lawful orders. The Congressman is being irresponsible. Encouraging insubordination is outrageous.

Next time a Demon is POTUS, all of these exact left-wing globalist people, would themselves demand, and then rejoice over public executions of any who would not comply with what will inveriably be anti-American and unlawful orders, by their demon POTUS...

How did that work out for the Nuremburg defendants?

An officer has a duty to decline to follow illegal orders.

I would love to see the look on his face if a General said to him “We like his orders”.

This was not an illegal order; that general was an enemy combatant. The Nuremberg trials were about crimes against humanity - slaughtering civilian men, women and children.

Was Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, one of the deep state plants during the Obama administration?

I do not think that he knows what is going on. He appears to be taking partisan pot shots off his military serivce.
