Uhhh obeying the orders of a fascist traitor is treason.....so no them rising up and fighting against such shit orders is not treason but their oath to the constitution and its people.
They haven’t been given illegal orders yet. And i’ve already said that they should disobey illegal orders. All soldiers are given classes on lawful orders and which orders should and shouldn’t be obeyed. If they “rise up” as you say they will just be courtmartialed and discharged at best or executed at worst.
This is the real world not some fantasy that some of you seem to be living in. I was a soldier and i was deployed to a war i didn’t agree with. I understand what these soldiers are feeling.
I was in the military myself 2009-2013
This is an illegal order you fucking piece of shit traitor. We swear an oath to the constitution.
TRUMP is a seditionous traitor so anything he says or does is an illegal order. The military should have had the balls to nut up and say no and arrest his ass as he is a domestic terrorist.
But go on keep defending the Marines on AMERICAN soil.
You are a traitor and when war breaks out I hope you meet your maker.
Being ordered to an area isn’t illegal. Being ordered to shoot civilians is. Learn the distinction, clown. I’m not a traitor nor do i support the orange idiot.
Fuck off.
