Who will lead the people who refuse to obey?

sebastiangarof5.bsky.social•49 days ago

Maybe we can demand for a new vote. Anyone who disobeys the constitution should be removed.

Thats' the concern. Who will remove him. I don't know who will lead to make them accountable. He shouldn't have qualified for the office in the first place. If the military is ordered to break their oath, who will lead the ones who want to honour it? I feel so bad for you all. 💔

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) mandates service members not to obey unlawful orders. Soldiers who believe an order is unlawful must report it, facing consequences for following it. However, disobeying orders can lead to disciplinary action so it's a complex situation.

Trump fired several high-ranking military leaders, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and General James Slife. He said it was because it was for aligning with Trump's administration's stance against DEI within the military.

But maybe it was because he knew these soldiers would uphold the constitution and their oath. From what we’ve been seeing anything is possible.

As a Veteran, this situation is worrisome. The so-called head of the dod, ph, is also firing many JAG officers who represent those in the military faced with UCMJ disciplinary actions. I don't think it's coincidental.
