I appreciate that Seth tries to increase the reach of my work, but people should read the article rather than rely on his, ah, emotional summary.
As I said, "the outbursts of this past week are different." I explain why I think so here:

To refuse an illegal order is drummed into you, starting with your first ethics lesson. I'm proud of our prior service members for stating it.
Just remember how hard it is for our junior enlisted and officers if their superiors aren't as ethical.

My husband @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.

Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Not just the right.
The DUTY.

Evoking the UCMJ is simple.

Any Illegal Orders are to be ignored, not executed and sent up the Chain of Command.

Simple, effective and Standard procedure.

Not evoking the UCMJ is prosecutable.

Watching this video gives you a pretty good feeling of what it's like to be a NCO in the military. A parade of younger people making you ask yourself if the next generation completely lacks the ability to read written instructions or if you're just old and out of touch.

“There are calls with Miller, where everyone is being screamed at,” the official told The Beast. “The targets he is setting for them are ridiculous, and it is a case of them just spending any money they can to increase the number of officers and deportations.”
