Well, now that it has happened we can all know, based on actual concrete proof, that not a single person in the US military hierarchy obeys the law that requires the refusal of unlawful/unconstitutional orders.

We have transitioned from a military under Constitutional and statutory limitations to a military that is a Republican Guard, or in older terms, a Praetorian Guard.

If we ever do, if ever, return to a nation of laws then every person in the entire military hierarchy is going to have to be charged and disciplined - because no one, not a one, even questioned, much less refused, the unlawful/unconstitutional orders to go to war with Iran.

RE: sfba.social/@karlauerbach/1162

Entirely correct. None of the military leadership appears to believe that Congressional authorization is necessary for war.

And many have committed war crimes as a result.

War crimes of course have to be prosecuted, but in terms of a POTUS being allowed to order military strikes without congressional authority would be very difficult, most likely impossible, to prosecute.

I'd be fine with a thorough report that names names and if possible removes rank and retirement.

Or refused to be deployed against protesters exercising our constitutional rights. Or refused to be deployed to violate the due process rights of kidnapped citizens & others here legally.

The military is now completely devoid of honor.

They will absolutely obey illegal & unconstitutional orders.

Now they're just a bunch of disgraced thugs.

My father & both grandfathers are turning in their graves.

I will never respect the military again.

i'm pretty sure we all knew that already
