I posted earlier. I have a neighbor who is a major general. From previous year’s conversations I know he and his family are not favorable of the Trump administration and are the opposite of MAGA, but opinions have not been shared much at all during this term.


They take an oath to the Constitution. Here are the oaths of office:

Oath of Enlistment
The current wording of the military oath of enlistment is as follows:
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.".

Oath of Office
For those entering as officers, the wording is slightly different:
"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.".


Are you under the impression that the 18 year olds taking this oath are somehow constitutional scholars? They are not tasked with understanding the constitution or weighing the legality of the orders of their superiors. They follow this oath by following orders. The legality of those orders, if under question, will get determined in a courtroom, not by a teenager in uniform.

Please stop expecting the troops to magically start resisting for us. They will not. Not anymore than our congresspeople are going to fight for us, not anymore than our courts are going to fight for us. Institutions are not going to save us. Everyone is standing around waiting for someone else to step in.


No. You misinterpret why I posted it. They follow orders--whether they like them or not. Now, for an officer, if the order is illegal, he does not have to follow it. He should resign.

Here is a really good book to read: The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk.

FWIW, sending troops to Portland is not illegal. Federal law enforcement is being attacked. Like it or not, it is not illegal.


And Queeg is now running things, and he’s very, very angry over the strawberries.

Disagree. Willie Keith got rid of the Queegs.

Trump has issued a National Security Directive ( way different than an Executive Order ) instructing all Federal law enforcement and most local law enforcement to proactively go after MAGA's enemies.

NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

This week, Hegseth will give the same orders to the entire US military.

I apologize, robot. You were protecting us from a Twitter idiot.

Here's a better link, for people can read more than 2 words before their brain stops, their mouth starts.

"Christian Identity" and Christianity are not the same thing. Please educate yourself.

I wonder how these generals and admirals feel about being lectured to by Major Deus Vult and Cadet Bone Spurs.

Trump is so deluded he now thinks he's in Ancient Greece addressing Spartan soldiers. I'm waiting for him to insist that all U.S. soldiers must wear some elaborate helmet with cloaks and "good" sandals.
