    but that’s illegal!

    If this pops off, there are no laws. It’s just men with guns. Your lib shit is going to get people killed. Lots of people. Your lib shit is how you start a civil war. Stop. Delete this comment. Im trying to reduce harm here, you’re clearly into accellerationism.

    the officers should

    Yeah. Yeah they should. And if they don’t, their soldiers should protest, by issuing a report in .768.

    Political power, when there is no mutual respect or goal, comes out the barrel of a gun.

    Edit: they’ve already violated both the Geneva conventions, as is standard, and the constitution of the united states. Every point in the chain of command is a chance to stop an atrocity. The soldier holding the gun is the absolute last failsafe, and if things get to that point, everything else has failed. Civil society has, at least locally, failed and no longer exists.

      Calm your fucking tities! If you just refuse illegal orders, they won’t usually do shit against you, just court martial you. Or attempt to. They can’t execute everyone

        If the officers learn that issuing these orders is unwise, the entire artifics of power will balk, and they may stop trying to massacre civilians this way for a few years.

        What if you refuse, but the guy next to you already shot a protester?

        This administration does not give a shit what the courts or constitution have to say. Do you not remember what these people are protesting? Can you repeat for me, so i know you know?

        Why do you think an institution that orders people to shoot unarmed civilians still deserves your faith and respect? That’s a genuinely vile level of boot licking.

        Edit: so, looks like the constitution of the united states is being violated now. Counting on due process to punish failsafes for failing at this point seems like you just want it to happen.
