Comment on Trump Signs Executive Orders to Militarize Police, Punish Sanctuary Cities and Refugees

IMO it’s unlikely, from the day you “swear in”, throughout all of boot camp and at regular trainings after its beat into you that you serve the constitution and that you can and SHOULD disregard an illegal order and what constitutes an illegal order AND an illegal order from the Commander in chief especially is still an illegal order and should be dealt with accordingly

And let me tell you, there’s far far FAR more enlisted just waiting for an illegal order to come through so they can finally tell an officer to go fuck themselves

So much wishful thinking.

The US military is the biggest commitor of war crimes behind Israel, they regular slaughter civilians and laugh about it, and the only ones to ever get in trouble and serve time are always the whistle blowers.

What planet do you live on?

  Well, you see, those people that the American military murders on a regular basis are brown people in a faraway country, so they don’t count or something.

    The racism subject aside, I DO think a the majority of them are gonna give big wtf’s when they’re told to do that to American citizens on American soil, regardless of skin color. There will be some who enjoy it because they’re scum, but I definitely know that even the craziest motherfuckers with the most PTSD who enlisted in several branches would tell you to go fuck yourself if you deployed them to New York and said beat the shit out of or shoot these civilians. They may be dumb as fuck, but they aren’t all that stupid.

    That would never happen. They would be told to control the violent mobs and restore the safety and security of law abiding patriotic citizens. And they’ll follow orders like every other military in the history of humanity.

The issue is that they’re doing what they can to make those orders legal. They’re not there yet, they’ll hopefully hit plenty of resistance before they get there, and they’re not exactly renowned for being competent, but they’re working on it.
