Here, let me make it clear: What illegal order(s) did Trump issue? That clear enough for you?
Why did they bother to do that and include specifically comments relating that to the current administration?
Pretty thin ice you're skating on.
Exactly my point. They made it clear they were talking about the current administration, and Trump, then stated that it was the military's duty to refuse to obey illegal orders.
What purpose did that message serve? Military members already know they should refuse illegal orders, so clearly restating that serves no purpose. Why did 6 DEMOCRAT senators make a message about refusing to obey illegal orders? What purpose and message did that serve?
Putting aside Trump has said to citizens and police he would like to see them illegally assault people, and even said he would pay their legal bills if they did. Putting aside Trump asked Esper if they could not just shoot peaceful protesters...
We can ignore those for a moment even those are reason alone to REPEAT OVER AND OVER to citizens, police and military that they have an 'obligation to follow the law', but again all those aside the below certain justifies the reminder...
