Exactly! This is their testing ground to identify MAGA loyalists. They want the the ranks of the military filled with the ones willing to follow illegal orders without batting an eye.

And they WILL turn their guns on American citizens and pull the trigger. And smile when they do it.

As a retired Army NCO (with combat deployments), I’m appalled, ashamed, and terrified that they’ve found sailors to follow those orders.

It’s simple: some in our military will not follow unlawful orders- but some will gladly do whatever Trump tells them.

How do you explain that he has?? Period.

imagine if Canada started sinking New England lobster boats, or Washington State long liners "because we suspect they are drug dealers".

Let's be clear: the commission of a crime does not warrant death, except in the most hideous and egregious of circumstances. That the US president is already murdering boaters in the Caribbean on mere suspicion of criminal acts, this must be stated unambiguously and understood unilaterally.

How would you rather live your life?
Court-martialed for refusing to shoot a child or live with yourself with the memory of shooting a child?
Ask Vietnam/Korea vets about that decision. PTSD happens due to many unbearable situations. The nightmares can ruin you.

Tell that to the older folks who survived it in childhood, only to be plagued by post-polio-syndrome in their retirement years, losing muscle coordination and mobility to a life-altering degree. Damn, these anti-vaxxers are so very very wrong.

Stop, hey, what's that sound... 🎶
