To all Generals of the Armed Forces of the United States

Remember what General Milley said: ‘We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator’

Because if you do bow before a wannabe dictator then you demean and insult all who served for 250 years.

Remember that as you parade in front of the person who thinks you're all suckers and losers.

The world is watching.

Guessing the main thrill for the man with the little 'shroom between his legs is the sight of some big long guns. Just like Arnold Palmer's!

Gomer Pyle had more integrity than you.
He wasn't smart but he knew right from wrong.

7. Military members have to follow lawful orders

no matter how assinine. Participating in a parade is a lawful order. An unlawful order would be shooting at civilians. I would expect them to disobey that one.

Anyone wearing a mask and acting in an official capacity for ICE, DoJ, FBI, CIA, or DoD in ANY role should be doxxed, catalouged and turned over to thd Hague and the war crimes / crimes against humanity tribunals as soon as they are formed. There can be no burying the uniforms or slipping back into civilian life for these bastards. No 'next act' in their lives. Act now, pay forever. Refuse now, we'll review your case without prejudice.

Illegal orders to shoot at civilians are no different than an order from ME to shoot at officers - neither one should even TEMPT a sworn member of the military for a milisecond. But for those that would act in violence and claim permission via an "order"? There are a lot of dead Nazi officers that once thought that way too. When you get to hell, compare notes scumbags!
