Illegal Orders or Political Theater? Democrats Urge Troops to Defy Trump

Democratic Video Urging Military to Reject Illegal Orders The video features prominent Democrats (e.g., Senator Mark Kelly) advising troops to refuse unlawful commands and consult legal advisors. They emphasize loyalty to the Constitution over any individual president. Republican and Conservative Backlash Trump labeled the video as sedition and called for arrests. Critics argue that telling military members to defy the president undermines the chain of command and national security. Glenn Beck and Trump cite 18 U.S.C. §2387 , which criminalizes attempts to cause insubordination or mutiny in the armed forces. Legal and Ethical Debate Democrats defend their stance by referencing historical precedents (e.g., Nuremberg Trials) and popular culture (e.g., A Few Good Men ). They argue that troops should never follow illegal orders, though critics claim no evidence of Trump issuing such orders exists. Media and Public Reaction Outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS, and commentators such as Bill Maher question the wisdom of the video. The discussion highlights the tension between lawful obedience and political rhetoric. Broader Political Commentary The author portrays Democrats as radical, labeling them “Marxist socialists” and accusing them of undermining U.S. law and governance.
