Reminder to all US Military and Federal Officers:
You took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
Not to any leader, family, individual, party or region.

I chose those words for a reason.
“Lawful” vs. “unlawful” is not an uncomplicated matter under the UCMJ.
Yet, given the lawless person who’s set to become POTUS again, refusing one of his orders as “unlawful,” may be more cut & dried.
His sham “immunity” doesn’t transfer to underlings (See Nuremberg Trials).
My oath was to the constitution, but for others who served and have served, their loyalty to MAGA sadly is above the constitution itself
I still believe that oath and the principles behind it will guide the actions of the vast majority.
If they can’t follow the oath, they should resign or be forced out.
Hey USA service pers: about to do this. Are you OK with it? Trans pers have saved my personal arse. Their fight is ours, unless, what you served for was bullshit and words.
I work with many amazing, heroic leaders who could lose their careers, benefits, and pensions because they refuse to violate their oath and follow unlawful orders.
Fucking sickening, for sure.
Let’s hope it’s the vast majority who refuse to follow an unlawful order issued by a Traitor.
I’m prior military working with military at a huge base. I haven’t heard anyone say the concerning things you’re hearing. I don’t doubt you. Just getting a different read here..
I fully expect him to demand we renounce our oath to the Constitution and take a loyalty pledge to him only.
Resistance will only work if EVERYONE, EVERYONE refuses.
However, all military Oaths are not the result of work by the Executive.
ALL Oaths were promulgated by Congress, and are a part of US Code.
Changing the Oaths requires Congressional Approval.
B/c Trump is knocking 80 y.o., and they don’t want to risk fealty to a Dem POTUS.
What have emerged since are various interpretations of what it means to defend and support the Constitution.
So, my plan is to do a Antonin Scalia... I'll interpret it's meaning as I understood it at the time I raised my hand and repeated the words.
