Experts infuriated by president accusing Democrats of ‘sedition’ for urging soldiers to refuse illegal orders
Veterans have condemned the politicization of the military after Donald Trump accused Democratic lawmakers of “sedition, punishable by death” after a small group of them released a video in which they urged US soldiers not to follow any “unlawful” orders.
The extraordinary exchange was sparked after Democratic lawmakers with military or national security backgrounds – the Congressional representatives Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio and Chrissy Houlahan, and the senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin – posted a video on Facebook addressed to US service members.
“The administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence professionals against American citizens,” they said, and added: “You must refuse illegal orders.”
Then you jarheads shouldn’t have voted for him overwhelmingly.
Vets voted 61% Trump to 37% Harris - not unsurprising given the number of absolute morons in the military, and yes overwhelming… but I’m gonna guess a veteran who actually gives a shit about politicizing the military almost certainly fell into the 37% that voted against him, considering he told us ahead of time that shit like this would happen.
Yeah well:
Maybe we should try learning something from this.
