He just hasn’t removed the right people…yet. The military will be coming, make no mistake.

IMO it’s unlikely, from the day you “swear in”, throughout all of boot camp and at regular trainings after its beat into you that you serve the constitution and that you can and SHOULD disregard an illegal order and what constitutes an illegal order AND an illegal order from the Commander in chief especially is still an illegal order and should be dealt with accordingly

And let me tell you, there’s far far FAR more enlisted just waiting for an illegal order to come through so they can finally tell an officer to go fuck themselves

The issue is that they’re doing what they can to make those orders legal. They’re not there yet, they’ll hopefully hit plenty of resistance before they get there, and they’re not exactly renowned for being competent, but they’re working on it.

So much wishful thinking.

The US military is the biggest commitor of war crimes behind Israel, they regular slaughter civilians and laugh about it, and the only ones to ever get in trouble and serve time are always the whistle blowers.

What planet do you live on?

Well, you see, those people that the American military murders on a regular basis are brown people in a faraway country, so they don’t count or something.

As with most things, people don’t care until it personally affects them or people they personally know.
