    Yeah, I’m sure they’ll feel great when they’re killed by someone that doesn’t think it’s an illegal order.

        Refusing orders can be seen as treason depending on the circumstances. While the ideal is you disarm and arrest the member to stand trial, if that’s not possible and they present immediate danger lethal force can be used.

          You seem to be thinking everyone is armed to the teeth pointing weapons at each other at a briefing. It’s usually people sitting at tables or desks like a classroom.

          Edit: weapons usually aren’t even allowed anywhere near briefing rooms

            I’m well aware, you seem to be either not believing we’re in fascism, or you believe the make believe rules that contain society are divine laws that everyone will always follow.

            Trump pardoning the j6 group was a signal that as long as you’re loyal to Trump, you will not have legal consequences. That removes the rules, as long as you do the Reich thing.

              I don’t believe either of those things. I still believe they aren’t pointing guns at each other in briefings though. No one would get shot. They would get a court martial. Shooting people within the military would cause splinters quickly that would fragment the presidents power and lay the groundwork for a potential coop attempt. It would be stupid for a dictator to start that.
