Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

If your commander goes completely nuts and tells you to shoot a detainee who's not in combat, is in a detention center, and isn't posing any threat, a junior service member is supposed to recognize that as an unlawful order and refuse to follow it, not presume legality.

The whole "orders are presumed to be lawful" thing doesn't really hold up because then why do we give so many briefs about the rules of engagement, left and right limits, etc.
Service members are supposed to have a basic understanding of what is and isn't allowed.

For EVERYBODY ELSE: Congresswoman McClain is ABSOLUTELY wrong here.
"clearly illegal orders" MUST be disobeyed. There is NO other standard.
An Officer or Enlisted person might have to prove at Court-Martial that the order was illegal, but facially unlawful orders MUST be disobeyed.

Impeachment articles against Hegseth should be filed today.
Not just because it's about time for him to be gone, but because it's time to reassert Congressional oversight as tantamount. Don't keep delaying on that!

The Secretary of Defense is threatening Democratic Senator Mark Kelly with court martial for his messaging reminding servicemembers that their oath is to the Constitution and they should not obey unlawful orders.

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.
