Ah, a Marine surfaces! My father was career Navy, my brother, a career Marine. My opinion, and only my opinion, the Navy officer's dress white uniform, sword and all, is the best-looking uniform anywhere. The Marines are not bad, but they didn't have my father. 😀

You are right, but for young E1s to E3 and O1 to 3, discerning an unlawful order is going to be hard, the consequences enormous. It's only with experience and training that you get a feel for what's right and wrong Older officers and enlisted should know better. They have a duty to their juniors.

Right. This is why the whole situation is a nightmare tRump, through Noem, ignored a court order to free the man. Noem gloated he was "never coming back." Now they want to convict him of something. The threat to him is still there, both here and in El Salvador.

Noem should be deported. Seriously, he did come illegally, but he's married to a citizen and was working to get his status regularized. A court said he was safe from deportation. ICE goons scooped him up and sent him to a hellhole despite that. Now we have what seems are trumped 😆 up charges

Normally, the NG and ANG are under control of their state governors. Yes, they can be placed under federal control in an emergency. They are often called up to support regular troops. If governors mobilize their Guard units and order them to ignore tRump, it will be war.

I agree safely comes first. But, Noem and tRump have shite on the face because of his illegal deportation. Now, he has new oh-so-convient charges. A court is allowing things to proceed. We will see if tRump has control of this court.

I understand. But, he did come illegally, and he was dealing with that. That should continue. The new charges do appear manufactured. But, they have been brought and must be delt with. But no deportation until they are resolved. I just want the legal process to take place
