We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.

NOTE from me
The Democratic veterans in Congress who call out the service members to disobey orders will not be penalized for free speech.
The service members who disobey orders will face consequences and penalties.
That is the difference.

What powers does the President have as "Commander in Chief" over the military?
This grants the President supreme command authority to direct military operations, strategy, and deployment.

Grok 3/3 Can you explain "unlawful orders"?
"any directive that requires the recipient to violate U.S. federal law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC), or established rules/regulations"

Politics and opinions are not grounds for disobeying orders.
Unlawful orders described above ⬆️ looks complicated.
My opinions.
Disobeying orders when obviously unlawful and have consequences that cannot be fixed. I.E. shoot a person the commander does not like because commander orders it.
Most anything else can be discussed with the commander in private. As long as carrying out the order does not have irreversibly consequences. The boss appreciates not making a public scene.
