If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Been ranting to folks for a year now about how fucking obvious it’s been forever that the only way for Dems to break through in this media environment is to curse more and — how bout that! — this broke through the noise.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.
The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.
Hope that clears things up.
