Recent events highlight troubling comments made by Democratic lawmakers about the military's role and relationship with the presidency, particularly regarding orders from President Trump.
1. Challenging Military Orders: Six Democratic Congressional lawmakers released a video encouraging military members to refuse illegal orders, which they did not specify. This was criticized as an attempt to provoke the military.
2. Senatorial Investigations: The Department of War is reviewing Senator Mark Kelly's involvement in the video, with Senator Ruben Gallego hinting at "consequences" for military personnel conducting the review, indicating his own prior involvement.
3. Senator Warner's Remarks: Senator Mark Warner expressed concerns about the treatment of the military under the current administration, implying that the military should step in against President Trump, thus suggesting the military's allegiance lies with the Constitution rather than with the president.
4. Obedience to Orders: Critics argue that comments made by Warner and others misrepresent the military's obligation to obey presidential orders, referencing the Oath of Enlistment that mandates obedience to the commanding officers.
Democrats' rhetoric surrounding the military has raised alarms about the implications of encouraging resistance against lawful orders, potentially escalating tensions between political leaders and military governance.
