1. El Deber de Rehusar Órdenes Manifiestamente Ilegales.
El documento subraya que existe un consenso legal y militar sobre la obligación de los miembros del servicio de desobedecer órdenes ilegales o inconstitucionales, un principio fundamental del Código Uniforme de Justicia Militar (UCMJ) y del juramento a la Constitución, no a una persona o partido.
- In reality, there is a strong consensus among legal scholars and military experts that service members have a duty to disobey manifestly unlawful orders, even if issued by the president.
- Members of the u.s. Military not only can refuse illegal orders, they are required to do so under the uniform code of military justice.
- The military swears an oath to the constitution not a person or a party, and the military also has a duty not to obey unlawful orders.
- They reminded troops generally that its a crime to follow an illegal order. Which it is.
2. La Manipulación Política: La "Gran Mentira".
Figuras políticas, incluyendo a Donald Trump y sus aliados, son acusadas de difundir una "mentira" intencional al omitir la palabra "ilegal" o "ilícita" al referirse a las órdenes, tergiversando el recordatorio constitucional como un llamado a la sedición o a desobedecer órdenes legítimas.
- Trump omits the word illegal orders from his text. That is, obviously, on purpose to sway public opinion. But it is, as usual with trump, a lie.
- This is absolutely outrageous. They have taken a truthful statement about the military obeying unlawful orders and have completely turned it into a lie.
- White house press secretary karoline leavitt says all orders from president trump are lawful orders, and troops have no right to question this is a demonstrable lie jane, you ignorant slut.
- The goal here is to lie so boldly and loudly that military personnel become afraid to disobeyate patently illegal orders, to the point where next time trump orders them to shoot protesters in the legs, they will.
- The big lie was on his first day when he lied taking the oath of office. He is a traitor to this country.
3. Cuestionamiento de la Lealtad y la Integridad Militar.
La controversia ha generado dudas sobre la lealtad de los líderes militares y la validez de su juramento, especialmente ante un Comandante en Jefe que es percibido como un "mentiroso crónico" y que podría emitir órdenes ilegales. Se menciona el código de honor de los cadetes y la preocupación por la obediencia ciega.
- I have no faith that our military will disobey orders to murder american protesters bc hopefully we can all see exactly where this is headed.
- The generals that were in trumps first administration proved that lie.
- A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do. Hard to square that with the actions of the president and the civilian leaders hes appointed over the military, isnt it?
- I am a veteran those two talking to the best military members in the world sickened me. To have a felon, drunk on power, commander in chief, arrive late, lie to them, babble at them, try to get applause from them was disgraceful.
- Where does your true loyalty lie?
