7. I get some of his stuff in my FB feed. He's right. We are obligated by our oath to not follow unlawful orders.

The military is never relieved of the oath we take upon enlistment/officer contract. Never. We are by law made to obey that oath, or risk discipline. In fact, we are subject to recall at any time, which is why they don't say "oh, never mind, you got discharged, you're good". Even officers.

Let's stick to that oath. If they try to discipline everyone, they'll stop this idiocy. There won't be time for anything else.
