So have all military orders been lawful?

[Anonymous]

Do republicans believe that the orders in Mei Lai were legal? That the orders from
Hitler to mass murder Jews legal? Was blindingly following Pol Pot the right thing to do?

Is the legal defense “I was following orders” hold up in court for military personnel?

How does your conscience hold up when you slaughter innocent children and women because your commander and chief said so?

According to MAGAs on X, it seems that whatever Trump orders is legal and is not to be questioned.

But the problem with that is that a large percentage of Trump's orders (across government, not strictly military) have been found to be unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful. But they don't see that and for some reason act like Trump is perfect and infallible and all knowing.

This is the problem with a cult of delusional authoritarians being led by a guy with dementia and questionable morals.

The orders to sink civilian boats is certainly not lawful. That is why there were high level resignations over them.

But Karoline Levitt specifically said everything Trump says is legal and lawful:

These people also would have gulped down the Kool-Aid as soon as Jim Jones told them to.

Of course not. And military orders should not be “presumed to be lawful “ — no matter what the so-called ‘Department of War” is now putting out there as a threat. There are reasons that officers swear different oaths from enlisted service members— responsibility and judgment.

We know now that like 90% of those posts are just bots and then there are 10% of dummies that fight for Russian propaganda.

I have serious issues with Obama's use of drones. But any legal and collateral damage ethical questions in Obama's case pale in comparison to the constant disregard for the law during this administration.

Maybe your house is a narco terrorist base. Let’s bomb and investigate later.

No actually, they don't.

The president is acting lawfully. Don't like it, too bad.

I find it interesting you went so far back. Do Democrats think Obama drone bombings of innocents were legal?
