Trump Silences Dissent in the Military

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You don't get to criticize superior officers or civilian leaders valid legal actions.

Of course you twats pretend all his actions are "illegal"

The argument is if it is valid. An Article 15 hearing or a court-martial would decided that.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

"Orders or views I don't like" aren't illegal.

That is for an Article 15 hearing or a court-martial to decide.

Soldiers don't get to decide policy, this is obvious in this case.

Or do you not want civilian control of the military?

Until then he gets relieved of duty. of course you run to procedure when asked to answer to the simple question "Do soldiers get to decide policy"

 

[Concerned American]

I am not following that. You would be charged with disobeying a lawful order (Article 92, UCMJ.)

"That would be Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It covers the failure to obey lawful orders or regulations, and it's one of the most commonly cited articles in military discipline.

Under Article 92, a service member can be punished if they:

1. Violate or fail to obey a lawful general order or regulation,
2. Knowingly disobey any other lawful order issued by a member of the armed forces, or
3. Are derelict in the performance of their duties.

The consequences can range from non-judicial punishment to court-martial, depending on the severity of the offense"

Yawn, as well as articles 94, treason, mutiny and sedition with a little bit of article 132 and 133 thrown in for good measure. Try again junior.
