Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.

Not just a war, a war capable of spreading into a world war, dirty bombs are much easier to build. Nuclear/bacterial and could be deployed by one radicalized zealot, with unknown impact compared to war heads, All I can do is shake my head and encourage people to vote, if you’re not informed don’t 🤷‍♂️

When I was in the service during Vietnam the My Lai Massacre happened and we were all given special lectures about following illegal orders...They came down heavy on us about that...Doesn't seem to matter now as even the Generals are following illegal orders...🤬

I served USAF 1985-91, never once was it necessary to question any order, and there was never any order out of the norm. The Commander of my Unit (1/4 the full squadron) always gave full clarity of our need to know and everyone in the Squad. had a level clearance of their job.

It’s good to hear that there are still commands that believe in clarification and full disclosure. Unfortunately that’s not the case throughout the military. I served under more than one command that used and then discarded their soldiers to cover their own asses.

Congress where the hell are you? Stop the cover-up! Release the Trump-Epstein Files. Trump is a malignant narcissist that belongs in prison. Stop the war, remember, Trump thinks the military and suckers and losers.

The mental decline is obvious. If you contrast the two last presidents it amazes me how alert and competent Biden was at this point in in his presidency. The way Biden handled Iran with John Kerry was amazing. No war, just sanctions lifted and a peaceful coexistence with Iran. God I miss those days.

It's more than war and following orders. We're about to lose our right to vote, at all. bsky.app/profile/prop...

“The same people who tried to overturn the 2020 election have only grown better organized and are now embedded in the machinery of government,” one legal expert said about a meeting of election deniers held last week. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

You also have the prostitute trump bought from epstien chairing the UN security Council rightnow... It's not just congress that's compliant and enabling this bullshit, it's you and every coward/traitor in your shithole country. Wake the fuck up

If you took #Hegseth’s speech this morning and replaced #Ayatollah and #Iran with #Putin and #Russia it would be an even more accurate description of what is going on in Europe. Yet #Trump has withheld weapons from #Ukraine resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians. Business deal or blackmail

Thank you for your service! As a two time Iraq war deployed, every single active duty, ,National Guard, and Reserve forces need to refuse his unlawful orders en masse I wish I had the courage to refuse Iraq or even know how

Nice catch on the plagiarism. I have thought about what Vic posted. I was aware of art 92. My job was to push a killer button. Do I really ask why? I am concerned for our present military I had some great officers I worked for. There was a couple of goofs Hegseth is one of the goofs

While Americans were dying and being maimed in the middle east and Texas Trump, his Miscreants & Nazis were partying at Mar-a-Lago, and Fundraising not to help America but for his own personal agrandizements and GOP plan to thief the 2026 Midterm Elections. And Adverts lying about Immigrants!

Talking yesterday about his drapes in his first live “speech” about his war, right after talking about casualties. It takes a manic lunatic to have the energy and malevolence to do all this evil. He’s literally insane. We’re living in his psychosis.

This morning the US Dept. Defense Sec. was standing behind a childish fantasy podium, calling himself a fantasy name, with a 4 star US Gen. next to him participating, and reporting on a War they started where already 6 Americans dead, 3 $60B F-15s downed, and they're still playing childish games.

Afraid? They endorse it by doing nothing. The government is not our friend, nor is any branch of it. Inaction in this scope is acceptance and endorsement of the actions.

We should be investing in wellbeing of the poorest of the poor in our country and in the world, instead of guns, ammunition, violence and wars. Peaceful means over a long term will create human wellbeing. #EpsteinFiles #RemoveTrumpFromOffice #JusticeForReneeGood #JusticeForAlexPretti

MMmm, let's see...take ''The US Constitution'': 1) The Executive DEFIES IT. 2) The Congress IGNORES the defiance by the Executive. 3) The Supreme Court doesn't seem to have READ IT -and makes up rules to enable the Executive to more easily DEFY IT. 4) The Citizenry are DENIED its protections.

You bet that GOP will suddenly start barking when they become a minority party again. Suddenly they will talk about fiscal responsibility, freedom, rights, state rights etc like nothing ever happened.

Benjamin Franklin said we have a republic if we can keep it. Obviously we need to wake up and remember who we are as Americans and why it matters for us to be a free society. If we fail, we don’t deserve our democracy.

Trump called Military Personnel Who Died Fighting For Freedom and Democracy “Suckers and Losers!” That’s 100 percent Wrong! The Real “Suckers and Losers” are Us for Making Trump President, Not Once But Twice! And for Allowing Him to Stay On and Ruin Our Country! We Can’t Afford to Let Him Last!

The Trump administration and MAGA is mentally defective. They have the same mental problems as Donald Trump Arrogant and tone-deaf Lack of education Lack of intellect Won't listen Don't care THEY want, they get hurt people = more fun period. No thinking needed.

I came of age during Reagan and I specifically chose not to serve because I didn't want to die due to the whims of a brainless senile nazi fuck on a fools' errand.

The really sad thing is that there are clearly enough Trumpists willing to follow illegal orders in the US military to enable him and his booze addled SecWar. So much for the last guardrail defending the Constitution. It has gone the way of the Supreme Court and Congress.

It occurred to me, and I did question bad orders, twice. Those were among the hardest moments of my eight years of service. I'm glad you never had to deal with that! Now, let's keep working to get the country back on track.

We are in a shit bag mess. Everything is falling apart, our food is poisoned, water is contaminated, our congress is owned by foreigners and corporations.supreme court justices in the files our taxes go to Israel. We can’t vote our way out of this

Remember how Trump demolished the oversight committee and all other safety departments on day one? We knew what he was doing then. He should have never been allowed to run for office. Just ask Jasmine Crockett

Tariffs, jailing the immigrant workforce, pissing off AI companies, and now war. Can you think of any other ways to fuck up the economy? Plus our tax dollars are going towards prisons, ICE, military and legal fees defending criminals. And spiraling the debt. GOP, it is time to real in your boy.

First: Thank you for your service 🙏 ❤️ 💙 Second : We are being governed by a fascist government in an attempt to destroy our Democracy and it will take ANGRY PERSISTENT ORGANIZED Citizens to bring them all down 🔥

That is the problem with you American Yankees, im Spaniard and I question every decission my goverment does either when they are from the left or right, the establishment anf goverment always try to decieve the people one way or another and we must have critical thinking skills.

When you and I served, everyone in politics respected the United States Constitution, but now half of the pols collect a direct deposit from Moscow, she now, not so much.

Thank you for this post and thank for your service to our country. As the daughter/niece of men who fought in WWII and the daughter of a Rosie Riveter, I sincerely mean it when I say… Thank you for your service to our county and our world. 🇺🇸

In the backdrop of my UCMJ training. Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. hundreds of Vietnamese civilians. We would be responsible. Demand our government not compromise the chain of command; the job was to follow orders the responsibility was to our constitution and law. Constitution was first order

None of them up there give a shit at all. They want their piece of the fucking money that they’re gonna get through this fucking war machine on this goddamn fucking planet. They’re not gonna do anything. They’re gonna wait for their blood payments while people fucking die 🤬🤬

And I truly think it sucks badly that I actually think this way, and have that opinion They’re all fucked up every fucking one of them. Sometimes it doesn’t even seem fucking worth it to even be alive on this goddamn planet.🤬

Exactly! It never occurred to me that I could have actually received an unlawful order. What a 💩 🇺🇲 we've allowed ourselves to become. It didn't happen overnight. Or over the last decade. The destruction has been going on for decades. Since we were told that trickle down economics is a good thing.

Well it appears this military doesn't mind committing federal crimes, either. I wonder how many PEOPLE will have to die for the military's lack of spine. They won't have to tell their grandchildren and great grandchildren about it. It will be in the history books. Traitors ALL! Remember Nuremberg!

IT'S THIS REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN CONGRESS, WHO ARE COMPLICIT ENABLERS, WHO OWNS THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT, BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE OUTNUMBERED AND OUTVOTED IN CONGRESS NOW💯⚠️😢💯⏰️😴🇺🇸📺🖥📰🗞🙌⏰️😴🇺🇸👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🏡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your service, and so glad you weren't in my command, not only did troops have to find creative ways around illegal orders regularly but even that period is coming back to bite us now.

The thing is, our military leadership, top to bottom, need to start refusing to execute illegal orders and ops from Pissy Pete and Deranged Donald. Oath is to constitution, not to lawless president/dicktater.

Its not spelled “mental decline” it’s spelled “batshit crazy”. With a Drunk Secretary of Defense, that has to bring his wife into classified meetings to prove to her he’s not cheating. 2xSA, 1xDUI yeah.
