Smile, you on camera just following orders.

I hope breaking your oath was worth it. I'm ashamed to see the uniform I once wore now.

This deployment was legal for up to 30 days. They can only refuse illegal orders

What oath? They're literally just standing around doing nothing. This deployment is legal, the president is allowed to do it for 30 days. After that you might have some legal fuckery to try and get them there illegally but it's above board for now.

Can't wait to continue hearing this while we all board the trains.

They swore to uphold the Constitution. So far their orders are within the law.

you mean the order to fight the imaginary crime wave?

Trump's within his rights, for 30 days. We'll see what comes next.

You mean this oath? The one that swears to obey the orders of the president?

“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and of the State of ______ against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to them; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of ______ and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.”

“According to law and regulations.”

The president is breaking the oldest law we have. Around deez here parts we call that the constitution, Kyle.

So are you going to pay for the legal fight they would have and eventually lose? Will you pay their fines, fees and serve their sentence? And pay them when they can't find a job due to a dishonorable discharge?

Are we sure that's D.C.? Looks like the Pentagon (which is across the river in Virginia).

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol, what a weird thing to nit pick...

Not a nit pick, I just lived in the area for a while and it looked familiar is all.
