That's literally contrary to military training.

That's not how it works. But you don't really want to know, so why bother...

I'm old enough to remember when MAGA rushed to attack anyone who said a bad word about Charlie Kirk.

Apparently, a nerve was touched and I assume people are giving illegal orders.

Everyone now knows Trump will never be held responsible; anyone who takes orders from him / works for him will be.


I bet someone has advised that orders he has given or wants to give or that Pete Kegsbreath has given or intends to give are illegal.

Who is Trump hanging? I didn't see anything specific like I didn't see anything specific in the Dem6 video.

80% of Americans support the military obeying illegal orders? Got a link to that poll, chief?


NP. I have a feeling the orders Trump is giving about murdering fishermen around the world by using military weapons to blow up their boats are illegal.

It's also not very popular. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/just-29-americans-support-us-military-killing-drug-suspects-reutersipsos-poll-2025-11-14/

Straw man argument. No one has ever ordered such a thing.

On the contrary. Democrats are standing for order. It's this corrupt Trump regime that is breaking down society and sowing chaos.

I tell you what, though. In hindsight, jail was the wrong punishment for J6 traitors. Those are the ones who should have been summarily executed.

Can you explain how supporting the US constitution is wrong?


Can you point to illegal orders? Not feels, actual illegality.


At the moment, National Guard deployment in DC:

NP: Don't play PP's refusal to answer game. No one has to point to existing or past illegal orders in order to make a public statement of existing law, which is that illegal orders must not be followed. Obviously that statement is the "right side" of the Constitution, and PP knows it, which is why they didn't answer.


You are correct,

I think every officer is very mindful they swore an oath to the Constitution. This president's desire to use American troops domestically and potentially start stupid unnecessary wars in Venezuela has every officer thinking about what is the right thing to do.

Tell the military to disobey orders by scaring them claiming that one commander-in-chief is doing something illegally that is. That is a problem that needs to be prosecuted the highest extent. Imagine if the Republican said that when Obama or Biden was in presidency saying hey, you got to watch out the about illegal orders hint hint that's a problem we need to stop that. That is not how we operate Democrats. You should do better. Shame on you

Maybe you should enlist and serve yourself before telling our soldiers about how to honor their commitments??

The claim that these missions are illegal is simply incorrect. The administration has formally designated the major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and has notified Congress that the United States is in an armed conflict with them. That combination places operations against cartel targets under established counterterrorism and armed-conflict authorities, the same legal framework used for years against other designated groups. Orders issued within that framework are presumed lawful because they come with rules of engagement, statutory backing, and legal vetting. Personal disagreement with policy does not make an order unlawful, and nothing in these directives qualifies as clearly illegal. Under current law, these operations fall squarely within authorized military action.

Military training does not give service members the freedom to pick and choose missions based on personal comfort. It teaches them to follow all lawful orders and execute assigned missions even when they disagree with the policy behind them. The only time refusal is allowed is when an order is clearly unlawful, and counter-cartel missions issued under a lawful command authority do not meet that threshold. If someone feels morally or personally unable to carry out a lawful mission, the correct professional option is to request reassignment or separate from service. That is completely consistent with military standards and avoids undermining the chain of command.
