        I mean, given the current task force directive is “Murder innocent people to distract the world from our leader’s pedophilia”, I do express some disappointment in any active duty members that don’t refuse orders.

          Refusing orders is a real fast way to prison or execution. I get your point, but the military is setup to make challenging orders as risky as possible.

              The US government. If a member of the military disobeys a direct order they get court marshaled. The rules there are different than the typical US court system and way more harsh in a lot of cases.

                The US government is not a person. It’s a lot of people who individually choose to follow the rules. One of those rules is: Congress decides wars. You might have missed the point behind my question.

                If there is one thing anyone should have learned about 2025, it’s that in the United States, there are never any real consequences for breaking the rules. Each of us decides which ones are real and which to follow.

      I would have loved if unflavored oatmeal were an option at every meal! I could have saved a fortune on cup noodles and instant mac&cheese!
