If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.

Many people who identify as "Christian" may find Rev. Budde's words strange and unfamiliar. That's because they're based on the philosophy espoused by Jesus.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

What happened to backing the Blue?
Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder.
Don’t ever lecture America again.

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact.

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated.
MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans.
They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers.
Unacceptable.
