Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoOn the one hand, I feel bad for them. They signed up because it put a little extra food on their family’s plates, and they felt like they’d be helping out in case of a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, or similar. They likely don’t desire to enforce the anti-constitutional rulings of a degenerate. They’ll be fired at best for refusing, jailed or made an example of at worst.
But… they are still the hands carrying out the tasks. Fuck them. We live in a society where information is milliseconds away, and being ill-informed on a topic is only due to laziness. There are fucking cartoons that will explain constitutional law if you can’t read a text based article for long enough to grasp the topic, for fuck’s sake.

All armed forces members are required by oath, and therefore by law, to refuse unlawful orders.
