I was thinking just this morning what would happen if some Fleet Commander off of Venezuela who had bothered to check and find out that Trump is LYING about drugs coming from that country (cocaine comes from Columbia and fentanyl from Mexico) AND about the Complete Myth he spreads of Venezuela 'emptying their prisons' here)... if that Commander would refuse an order to hit civilian targets in
Caracas, Vlad-style?

Guess it would depend on whether he was a Hegseth appointment or not.

Donald Trump wants to kill Americans for accurately stating the law.

I think that he's entered the bunker stage of his presidency.

The United States is not a failing dicatatorship, no way.

I think we could be a very successful dictatorship.

Our ability to violate the privacy of Americans is easily equal to China or Russia and our standing army could be the best masked and well equipped jack booted thugs anywhere on the planet.

Under the Unified Code of Military Justice, the UCMJ, a member of the military can be court-martialed for obeying an unlawful order irrespective of their rank or that of the person giving them the order.

Of course, Trump having never served in the military, may not be aware of this, but I would hope that someone over at the Pentagon would sit him down and go over the details of what it says in the UCMJ.

When I was in the Army Reserve, it was required reading, or at least enough of it to keep you out of trouble.

The MAGAts removed that sort of oversight at the Pentagon soon after Pickled Pete's arrival.

We won't lower standards for women and such.
And generals must keep in trim.
For standards are vital, so Hegseth insists"
Though lowered already for him.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

That's terrible; how's a Trumper s'posed to have a Whataboutism when there isn't one?

No Kings, indeed.

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

Trump's lost his mind. He's a demented twisted fcck. He's also dangerous. He's a threat to the United States.

"refuse illegal orders"

Refusing to be loyal to Trump is the worst thing one can do.

WHY would a military person be expected to follow illegal orders?

#19 | Posted by Corky at 2025-11-20 10:23 PM | Reply

FWIW everyone in the chain of command from Hegseth to the guy or gal pulling the trigger on the Venezuelans should be tried for murder

These are self-evidently illegal orders

The theater commander obviously knew they were illegal orders and resigned.

Again, the military is daily obeying illegal orders.

Straight out of the fascist playbook. Any doubt in the MAGA ranks? Probably too uneducated/uninformed to even care.

Gotta love all the fake outrage MAGA Republicans leaving out the word "illegal" in their defense of the indefensible.

"Punishable by Death
Antichrist 45

Trump posted several remarks on Truth Social today, about how some Democratic lawmakers have committed treason, or displayed seditious behavior, and that it's punishable by death."

www.youtube.com

Noting the original video, the outright lie by Speaker Johnson claoming that the Dems were calling for disobeying legal orders... and the the similarity in punishment, death, for anyone who refuses the Beast.
