The orders that those seditious Dems would be talking about are absolutely not unlawful. What they're really saying is "Don't follow orders you don't like, even if they are indeed lawful".

Bad and unlawful precedent is already on the Democrats' side, where police officers have followed all sorts of orders that are unlawful when they come from a Democratic mayor or governor.

Oh? Thought one would expect it from a Democrat.

A writer at Mother Jones spun this narrative into "Trump Endorses Hanging Democratic Members of Congress" without mentioning the sedition of said members of Congress.

They're just reminding them of their duties.

So what are troops supposed to do when they are given an unlawful order? Follow it or not follow it?

The Nuremberg trials have given us an answer. Do you disagree?

Why not?

I'm not suggesting that our current government's illegal orders are anywhere near as terrible as the Nazis' illegal orders.

But the principle is the same. Don't follow illegal orders. It's not as though little illegal orders are OK.

Ok. Thank you for clearing that up. Now what unlawful order has our commander in chief given to our troops?

Blowing up the fishing boats MAY have been unlawful (I am not certain of this).

Good question. How is the guy (or girl) in the field going to know if an order is unlawful or not? (aside from what Lt Calley was court-marshalled for)

I never said there were any. Neither did the people who told troops not to follow unlawful orders.

It may not be clear, in which case the soldier can't be blamed for following the order. But in some cases it could be clear.

I don’t know exactly what they said, just the gist of it, but I don’t have a problem with them saying that they should take care to not follow unlawful orders. That’s already military policy.

I’m sure that there’s a fairly clear standard that’s been figured out by now.

You say "this country's illegal orders". I'd like to know what illegal orders you are referring to. Of course i know that you won't answer but in this case you also can't answer.

The Nuremburg trials punished those who gave the orders, not those who followed them (with rare exceptions)
