Rule 10 Submission Statement: Donald Trump claims that Democrats attempting to remind members of the United States military that it is in fact illegal for them to obey unlawful orders, are traitors and have committed a serious crime, according to unnamed, but "great" legal scholars.
The problem with all of that is that the Uniform Code of Military Justice makes it abundantly clear that service members are not protected (and can be prosecuted) if they obey an unlawful order. The Manual of Courts-Martial explicitly states that an order must: have a valid military purpose, not conflict with U.S. Law or the United States Constitution, and not violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Members of the United States military not only have the legal ability to disobey unlawful orders, they have a duty to do so. This is taught to new recruits at basic training. So why is the Commander-in-Chief crashing out over this?

Legal scholars…its just fraud. Those ppl spend decades memorizing completely irrelevant legal information so they nor others are actually aware of what laws say what
Oh no people being seditious. What’s he gonna do, pardon them like the Jan 6 seditionists?
Have the Democrats repeatedly called his orders regarding deportation illegal? Then some Democrats say disobey illegal orders…
Unless the court chooses to take their interpretation- literally.
What a fucking doofus.
Who’s job is it to interpret what is or isnt an unlawful order after its been disobeyed? And who’s going to risk getting charged with treason in front of a military tribunal based on the hope that the order they disobeyed will be considered unlawful?
Why haven’t there been any posts quoting what EXACT orders are being given out that are unlawful?
He’s crashing out because *he* *hasn’t given them unlawful orders*.
That’s the reason the Dems were being so vague in their televised PSA. They have yet to specify which orders they’re telling military personnel to disobey. Rest assured, they met with a crew of lawyers so that script could be approved prior to airing whatever that was because advising service members to disobey direct orders IS sedition and they wanted to be very, very sure they could get as close to that line as they legally could.
The whole affair was to sow doubt in the minds of service members who may personally dislike or even hate their commander in chief in order to foment some kind of crisis. They wanted to muddy the issue of whether an order a serviceman feels uncomfortable carrying out is an order he/she can disobey under the UCMJ (spoiler: it isn’t).
The shitty part of this is that some kid is going to catch an Article 92 and possibly spend a couple of years in a military prison for disobeying a direct order because they don’t like the order and some politician on TV told him he didn’t have to follow it.
Quiet piggy!
Are these the same legal scholars that told you to pardon the j6ers and all your other criminal buddies? Shit birds of a feather flock together.
hes unhinged and about to die i think
except the orders arent illegal.
Trump is right he is the democratically elected President, and when democrats tell service men not to follow orders, than say nothing about which orders or why, that is considered Treason.
Democrats need to start fighting for America instead of Illegals
we have allready learnt how trump prefers to “unalive” to use his words people who travel on boats in international waters instead of following the usual procedure to stop them, take their drugs away from them and bring them before court where they might get a mild sentence if they were for example doing such smuggling tours for the first time
80 people travelling on board of such ships what might have or have not transported drugs became victim of the supreme murderer in chief of usa intimidation urges what of course also make everyone in the military passing down those premeditated murder orders and enacting on them complicit
those people in boats were not doing any agression, they were not attacking anyone
because transporting drugs is not an agression itself
its the buyer who is responsible to buy or not something of unknown quality in a shady street corner what might have the consequence of dying from the consumption of such substances
also worth noting how there was someone with the united nations who recently called those murders out as “extrajudical killings” and unacceptable behaviour in international waters
and even after that
the “unaliving” of people on boats continued
