Good thing he did not call for them to be hanged, cause that would indeed be violent.
How hung do we want our congress members?

Nothing they said was incorrect. It is in fact their duty to not follow illegal orders. This isn't new or even broadly controversial.
The only controversy is whether or not any given order is actually illegal. And from the perspective of the person receiving a questionable order, it's a terrible position where you are potentially going to be tried for a crime regardless of what you do, and a judge or jury will decide if you made the right choice maybe years later.
Ideally we need our commander in chief and the military leadership to only issue orders that are unquestionably legal except in the most rare and grave circumstances.

Maybe step back and consider why they felt this basic reminder was necessary instead of jumping in to your feels.
That is not at all what they're doing, but that is the legal cover they're dancing around. What they say is not inaccurate, but they intentionally omit what these "illegal orders" are. They want our service members to refuse to enforce immigration laws and protect our cities from criminals when ordered to do so, while taking all of the risk. Their omission gives them plausible deniability, because they are cowards that don't care at all about our military service members.
There's not a single POS Democrat that will stand up for them when they're brought in front UCMJ tribunal for refusing orders. They are self serving unAmerican scum bags that belong nowhere near the levers of power, especially with regards to the life and limb of our service members and you know it.
Kelly is scum? Hint, they all served and none of them are scum.
The potus is scum, you know it, America knows it.

Quote:
Do I have the right to refuse illegal orders?
Yes! All members of the military have the right, and in some cases have the duty, to refuse illegal orders. Your oath is to the Constitution (which incorporates international treaties ratified by the U.S. on human rights and the law of war), not to the Commander-In-Chief or to any other individual in the chain of command.
Under the UCMJ, a servicemember may be punished by court-martial for failure to obey any lawful general order or regulation. The UCMJ does not define what "lawful" means. The Rules for Courts-Martial say that an order is lawful, "unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority of the official issuing it." The Rules go on to say that, "This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime." Finally, the Rules say, "The lawfulness of an order is a question of law to be determined by the military judge." That determination normally can be made only after a servicemember refuses or obeys an order, in a court martial or a war crimes tribunal.

I don't think they were hinting at the drug boat strikes, but the domestic operations against citizens, regardless of whether they are drug related.
In any case, the drug boat strikes are almost certainly legal orders, even if not legal under international law.
Their oath is to the constitution, not international law.

Exactly what alleged illegal orders are these nimrods babbling about?
It's illegal to just kill people because they might have drugs. How about that for a start?

Your argument doesn't follow. They didn't list specific examples because that would hurt the message by narrowing the scope. The point is to be an all-encompassing reminder. There are an unlimited variety of possible illegal orders.
With all the promised/threatened domestic deployments, it's a reasonable reminder.
And reminding people to uphold the constitution is never being a traitor. Anyone so threatened by the constitution should look in the mirror on their traitor hunt.

I imagine Republican lawmakers might do the same in that case. Republicans LOVE to thump the constitution when it suits them. Maybe just as much as the Bible.

Show of hands. How many of you have ever been in command of military members and either applied discipline UP UCMJ Article 15 OR conducted/participated in any level Courts Martial proceedings (Summary, Special, General) before? Anyone ever had to read the UCMJ? Any idea what Article 92 contains? If not, sit down and listen to folks who have before running your mouth about something you know zilch about.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

First, bull**** on the bolded.
I don't give a **** about his response. These same Dems have called him Hitler, a fascist and all sorts of other heinous crap and actively participated in a video encouraging US Service members to interpret what they think might be illegal and disobey chain of command and orders.
This is what you get in return.

Ok. I think the president saying congress people should be hanged (thanks coop) because they posted a completely factual, tame, video about unlawful orders is just a tad bit unhinged. He's the president of the United States, this is not a normal response.

The feminine lib posters on this board NEVER call out their own side. Conservatives call out their side all of the time.
Also, their beta leaders never accept responsibility for anything. Democrats are truly cowards.

What the Dems have suggested is that these soldiers refuse orders that the SOLDIERS think, believe may be unlawful.
Given that Trump has shown ZERO intention to issue unlawful orders and in fact in nearly 5 years as POTUS has never done so, then the "warning" by the Dems involved in this can ONLY be taken as encouraging descension amongst the chain of command.
They will be punished and rightfully so.
