Trump should go on TV support their statement. Then point out all the violations that the Clinton's, Obama and Bidens coup did. Then call on Congress/DOJ to seek justice for their actions and violations of the US Constitution. Stating Democrat support.

2 Zero chance that the troops would follow their suggestion. Recruitment issues are resolved. This message was a psychological operation to encourage the leftist non-military Dem base.

3 Gen Milly violate the Goldwater–Nichols Act directing field commanders to report to him and not the President of the United States. Now we have other Obamanauts are engaged in undermining 'good order and discipline' among the ranks, though I suspect the ranks they're talking to largely consist of fellow Obamanauts that remain in uniform at the senior levels.

That little troublesome thing call the Constitution they took an oath to uphold and defend - Art I Section 8

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

5 The ironic thing is when the demoncrats are in power they basically call for shooting any soldier that defies their orders.

6 No doubt that it was very carefully phrased and gone over with a fine toothed comb by a very good lawyer to make sure they could not be charged for the statement. A pity, I would very much to see all of them prosecuted and sent to jail.

7 Well, at least one of them could be called back to active duty and put before a courts martial board.

Just because they got some bureaucrat to sign a piece of paper saying that the jab wasn't a experimental drug when it had not gone through standard testing protocols, doesn't make it a 'legal' order to force service members to take it.

They got Al Capone on tax evasion charges. Just saying.

8 This kind of incremental edging to erode the legitimate Executive Authority of the Trump Presidency is far more damaging than most realize. This is no longer about a loyal political opposition party or free speech, this is seditious and feels like suborning mutiny. We cannot allow the slippery-slope erosion of something so fundamental as the institution of iron-clad, civilian control of the military by duly elected Presidents. To invite widespread uncertainty about what is a legal order across the ranks is a corrosive cancer and harmful to discipline and unit cohesion.

9 After all the dumbass orders Democrat leaders have given the military this seems a bit hypocritical.

10 On NPR just now, they were freaking out that Trump is calling for the murder of elected Democratic officials. Oh noes! But once they got past all the hair-on-fire talk, what he apparently said was that the penalty for treason is hanging. Nothing new there, rather like the idea that the military should not obey illegal orders. But to go from there to say Trump was calling for the deaths of Democrats seems to imply the Dems *were* advocating insurrection and treason, despite their carefully worded and legally vetted rhetoric.

11 You're no doubt familiar with the overseas chapter, VOA. NPR is the domestic branch. Same sponsor/funding source BTW.

Voice of America (VOA or VoA) is an international broadcaster funded[2][3] by the United States federal government and established in 1942.[4][5][6] It is the largest and oldest of the USA's existing international broadcasters, producing digital, TV, and radio content in 48 languages for affiliate stations around the world.[7][8][9][10] Its targeted and primary audience is non-Americans outside the American borders, especially those living in countries without press freedom or independent journalism.

12 ^ Interesting. So NPR is just Voice of America, but for Americans. I never realized there was a connection between them. National People's Radio, indeed!
