The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, Crap City, you posted this:

"The Lawmakers The video featured six Democratic lawmakers, all military veterans or former intelligence officials: Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). The Message In the video, the lawmakers reminded service members of their existing legal obligation under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to obey only lawful orders and to refuse those that are illegal or violate the Constitution."

None of the six traitor-crats are in the military chain of command. Nor are they in the intelligence community's chain of command.

None of them are JAG officers. None of them have any particular basis for making any claim to special, or for that matter, any competence as to matters of military law or international law or the law of war or any other subject matter area which might be relevant.

Their opinions are therefore, not only meaningless, but it would be potentially a violation of the UCMJ for a person in the military to base a decision to follow, or not follow, a superior's order based on having watched the traitor-crat video.

Ironically, you claim to be the expert of all experts, citing to what you believe are violation(s) of international law by Trump and hence the orders underlying those alleged violations are, according to your superlative expertise, "illegal" and should be defied by the persons to whom they are given.

I believe your paranoid schizophrenia is masking from you the complete inanity and irrationality of your position.

If you in fact are the expert above all experts, then you just proved that the six traitor crats are FOS, because they have a different opinion than yours.

You should be the one making the videos. Make a video and post your expert opinions on these subjects on Facebook.
