NOT following illegal unconstitutional orders.

And I think Hegseth did is all a big favor by making them sit through that insanity, that harangue, that telegraphing of intent by the president and his SecDef to violate their sworn oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

Those self aggrandizing assclowns may have sought loyalty and obedience, but they garnered nothing but deep contempt and preparedness by the adults in that room for what they need to do -- or NOT do -- to uphold the sworn oaths that THEY took.
