Billboards telling troops to obey only lawful orders go up near Florida military base

[C_Clayton_Jones]

'A billboard campaign telling troops to obey only lawful orders in defiance of the Trump administration has launched in Florida near a military base.

Nonprofits Defiance.org and WhistleblowerAid.org launched the campaign at the MacDill Air Force base in Tampa, urging serving troops to “Obey Only Lawful Orders” amid the Trump administration’s lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, which have so far killed more than 100 people.

“We’re making sure troops know their rights and that they’re not alone if they’re told to cross the line,” Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official in President Donald Trump’s first administration, said in a statement to 10 Tampa Bay.

“The president may be the commander-in-chief, but even he is bound by the law,” Taylor added. “This campaign is a constitutional alarm bell to remind our servicemembers of that.” The organizations are offering troops legal advice and providing whistleblower hotlines.'

Unfortunately, those serving in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean haven’t gotten the message.

They’re obeying unlawful orders every time they attack civilian boats absent evidence of wrongdoing.

The criminal Trump regime has nothing but contempt for the law.

Do you know what evidence they have that you are not qualified to see?

The criminal Trump regime has nothing but contempt for the law.

Have any of them come up with any unlawful orders that have been issued?

That's how it's done OP!

 

[WEATHER53]

Except individuals do not have the discretion to ferret out what they think/ feel is lawful. There is command that does so

I knew someone in Desert Storm who refused to obey an order he thought was unlawful.

He was dishonorably discharged and spent plenty of time in Leavenworth.

He was unable to find any decent job and ended up spending a lot of time in inpatient mental health care, homeless and suicidal. Several attempts later, I lost track of him.

So, yeah. Go ahead and just try to refuse that unlawful order.

Go ahead.

[SassyIrishLass]

I'd be interested in any unlawful orders that have been given

I suspect... crickets

Did he refuse to commit murder?
If so, was that the correct moral choice?

"Twenty five years ago, one of the most brutal massacres in war history occurred in Iraq, along Highway 80, about 32 km west of Kuwait city.

"On the night of February 26–27, 1991, thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians were retreating to Baghdad, after a ceasefire was announced, when President George Bush ordered his forces to slaughter the retreating Iraqi army."

They fucked up and fired on us. They then found out that we were serious.

Personally we should have not accepted a cease fire and killed the rest of the Republican Guard.

So, killing an enemy combatant is now murder.

Do you know what evidence they have that you are not qualified to see?

What evidence would allow them to give drug traffickers an extrajudicial death penalty?

The correct answer is: none

At least you racist pukes stil have to hide on anonymous message boards

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The problem with telling the military that they should disobey unlawful orders is that it wrongly assumes that each member has the entire code of jurisprudence in their head. Of course this is nonsense. The danger is to the military member and only the military member.

It's a shame that someone really stupid might believe this nonsense.

Contrived whining. Every recruit is taught this. It's their responsibility to know the law. Ignorance is no excuse.
