Whose actions actually "interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces"

Sen. Mark Kelly and others reminding U.S. troops of their legal and constitutional obligation to follow the law, and their right to refuse illegal orders? (“Our laws are clear,” Kelly had stated in a social media video. “You can refuse illegal orders.”)

Or, Trump and Hegseth berating and degrading our military forces, as they bully and humiliate decorated generals and officers out of the service with misogynistic, masochistic garbage rhetoric which even the old guard had already rejected as counterproductive to a military for Americans which functions on projecting American values which is inherent in the diversity of the people who serve.

Those two privileged assholes never measured up to the standards they spat out schoolyard insults at generals they summoned together a short while ago, from all over the country; many battle-seasoned and decorated, to berate and demean them as 'fat" and part of a 'broken culture," telling them to just suck up the humiliation of being talked down to by a convicted criminal and a teevee primadonna or just resign.



In bashing the 'culture' of the U.S. military, they aren't only auguring to replace it with their own petty version of a high-school clique, they are literally positioning our own military forces against the very Americans they're denouncing as out of step with their denigrating view of the people of this country.

Hegseth's privileged frat-boy declaration to officials at the Pentagon that, ""diversity is our strength" is the "single dumbest phrase in military history," was swiftly followed by his commander-in-chief's assault on black-run cities and communities under the same pretext of their inferiority and rejection of their rights and humanity; threatening them with the very same forces they intend to operate like a white-boys club and wield against the residents; not providing protection for the people, but for the ICE fascists like the federal government used to back up the KKK in their terrorizing of black communities in nation's past.



Trump isn't projecting our troops against foreign enemies, so much as he's arraying them against Americans to intimidate us to his authoritarian will. It's his own office which is responsible for the deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. which was just ruled illegal four days ago by a federal judge.

In his own statement following the ruling, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb (who sued the federal government over the Guard deployment, arguing it exceeded the president's legal authority) said:



We're supposed to believe that sitting national legislators reminding our troops of their right and responsibility to follow the law is damaging to "the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces," at the same time the WH and the Pentagon is exploiting our nation's defenders to intimidate and force Americans to bend to their political will and autocratic edicts.

They're basically intent on tearing down the diverse foundations of our military that were built up over generations understandings of rights and responsibilities previously ignored or neglected; all to advantage a centralization of America that seeks to exclude and alienate millions who don't share or give fealty to this mostly white male administration's privileged attributes.

But, oh yeah, Mark Kelly's medals were supposedly out of order and in line for some sort of discipline from a frat boy playing warrior and his criminal commander, neither one of them fit to shine his shoes, much less measure up to the standards they're setting for the rest of the country who they despise.



Trump insisting Kelly and others be charged with sedition for reminding troops to follow the laws that the President and his Pentagon are conspiring to break is the ultimate in projection and hypocrisy. So much so, that it spills over into an intentional defense by Trump of his clear and open intention to continue to break the law and order his generals and troops to follow suit.

It reads and sounds like nothing more than a criminal president insisting he has the right to do whatever he wants with our military troops, and threatening those responsible for checking and accounting for his conduct of his CiC duties away from his repeated illegal attempts to deploy them against us all.

And let's not forget, this president has already repeatedly ordered his military to summarily execute an unknown number of unknown people in boats in the international waters without any authorization other than his own assumed authority to interdict illegal drugs.

We're past the stage of just assuming our troops know the law and their responsibility to uphold it in the face of illegal orders.

He literally tweeted this out.

“SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”
