I thought the Marines swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a king, not to a party, and certainly not to an autocrat. Any leader who demands blind loyalty to themselves over the rule of law is unfit to command. Demand our service members defend democracy, not the oppressors.
That pic is actually Army - probably National Guard. But the message is correct - The Marines should NOT be used as law enforcement within the United States! I hold the Commandant of the Marine Corps and other senior leadership responsible for not looking out for Marines in their charge!
Yeah, I pulled the pic from a Guardian article talking about Marines deployed to California. I should have dug deeper. My bad.
No worries. As a Marine, it’s instinct for me to check 😎. The message is spot on! #FightFascism
Marines have a history in LA. bsky.app/profile/cyko...
It takes special kind of people to become a Marine. I personally know quite a few from the top shelf. One tried to kill his wife in front of his three sons and neighbors. He was in charge of Guantanamo at the time. Her and kids (youngest was only 3) got transported to Cali right away.He got demoted.
Not to be picky, but the photo shows someone enlisted in the Army; not a Marine....
Oooof, today is not my day. 🤦♀️
Is sad that US democracy finally catch up with US. That's exactly what the Marines do with us. At least they're not using lethal ammo like they use here.
They are all young and dumb
The stupid fuqs need a remedial course in comprehension.
The biggest problem is that the vast majority of the people going into military service in the US today are grossly uneducated. Know nothing of our history, system and laws. They don't know that they are not bound to follow an illegal or immoral order. And that's the army the GOP wants.
服从川普命令的行为将是他们终身的耻辱
They are also trained to kill not manage a peaceful protest. 🤦♀️
Hand-picked maga.
The Universal Soldier by Donovan. That's all.
You misspelled fascist.
The military doesn't exist to "protect" the constitution, but just to enforce/expand the US power overseas and bully other countries. They are meant to protect the US government power, not the people's power. It's like believing cops were meant to "protect and serve" the population!
Gee...how many D Commanders in Chief have we had since they started running Fox non-stop on base like 25-30 years ago? Seems like that's the kind of indoctrination that could have easily been nipped in the bud waaaay back.
I swore the same oath, to defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign internet and domestic. Drumpfy the clown is violating the oath he swore to, the constitution, the people, everybody. He is the very definition of the word traitor, and anyone that follows.
In between the words foreign and domestic is the word "internet." Explanation, is that yours truly is... 6ft10 inches tall about 300 lbs. I wear a size 18 basketball shoe. I say that because despite being an English major and a good speller, my thumb is the typist, and that thumb covers the screen .
They swore the same oath that the orange turd swore. And law enforcement and ICE. They placed their hand on the Bible and swore. Now, they are obligated to not follow orders that violate the oath they swore to. $50 million for tanks to drive in a parade, then $20 million to repair the roads.
Amen to that 🙌🏿❤️🙏🏿
Everyone know miltary can follow only order they agree wit!
From the halls of montezuma! To the shores of Tripoli! We will fight our county’s battles! And then go home and do as we’re told and shoot our neighbors for exercising their rights 🎶
It almost never, ever ends up the way you want with the military. I don't think the Marines want to be there at all and want no part of a protest. Especially if it's peaceful and in your own country. You're not going to get all of them to agree that it's wrong and not take part in that mess.
Anyone who follows TACO is not concerned about oaths or the Constitution.
I agree 100%, but I have to ask since it's bound to come up and might as well fix it now if it's a problem: Why does his uniform say, "ARMY" if he's a Marine?
Traitors 🖕
They're doing it all for ROBERT E. LEE!!!
Befehl ist Befehl like the excuse in 1945.
That guy in the picture is in the Army. At least use pictures in your memes that are on point.
It’s the general’s giving the orders to be activated and sent to a United States city. Where the protests are located is a thumb nail of a large Los Angeles area. It was planned from he first took office already asking where to send Troops in. He sent them for intimidation.Police/guard to shoot/hurt
Time to follow your conscious
It's a confusing time for them. They have to follow legal orders. I don't think being ordered to guard a building would be considered illegal. If they are ordered to go arrest someone, that would likely be an illegal order. They would need to question it up their chain-of-command.
I DEMAND our service members protect democracy and not autocrats! There, that should take care of it. Why didn't I think of that before Kent State? All is as it ever was.
The last time I saw Marines on the streets of LA they were fighting aliens (from space), not from the border
Both my nephews joined the Air Force a political teenagers and are both now full on Maga.🤮🤬
*apolitical
Yeah, about that. Remember General Mike Flynn? He took the fifth 100 times when questioned about 1-6 involvement. We need something good to happen to stop these lies, liars, traitors, sadists, magas, ICE, racists, the bad police.
They did. It was the same oath I took every 4 years for 20 years.
A predictable outcome for letting Fox News play 24 hours on military bases.
Where are the leaders , the generals the military leaders need to step up and put an end to this !!!!
"Dan Driscoll, while speaking to Fox News, described Trump as having an "incredible connection ... with his army," His Army.

FYI: That's not a Marine in the photo.
Thanks. Someone pointed that out. My bad, completely.
A Marine PFC looks to the change of command to make a decision based on the US Constitution and the UCMJ. If the military's 4-star generals lack the moral backbone and integrity to do what's right, they should be the first to be condemned. There's right and there's wrong and NO in between.
We're looking for a few proud boys.
My father was a Marine who earned a Purple Heart in Korea. He was always quietly proud of his service. He was also a Reagan republican and Christian who believed Fox News. I wish I could be sure what he'd make of this if he were still here. Best all around that he isn't, sadly.
I greatly respect the service of our vets, and my Dad was also a vet. (and purple heart recipient). But the current situation is just outrageous. I like to believe Dads like ours would see things for how they are today.
I'd like to believe that too. 💙
Only if your defending the constitution, Trump is cutting up for his new rule ! Kings got to play the rule and let stupid people fo their bidding.
They don't give a crap about any damn oath.
the regime is at war with us.
I’m surprised they followed him so obediently without one objection
Do we even know for sure if they're taking that oath anymore? I'm serious.
Look how empty his eyes look. He looks mindless like he has been brainwashed. This is not normal. Something really horrible is happening behind the scenes. Worse than anything we see on social media and TV.
These are not the same marines of yesterday. I know veterans that are just appalled at what is happening. I hope these guys will wake up and do the right thing soon.
I feel like a lot of people are forgetting that the POTUS is Commander-in-chief of the US military. The troops must genuinely believe an order is unlawful, or obey the order.
Some service members are choosing conscientious objector route. I applaud them.
Maybe someone should remind the @usmarines.bsky.social and the @usarmy.bsky.social
Apparently Oaths don't mean much these days.
China? Russia? DPRK? No, it's fascist USA!! The world is watching as your country tumbles downwards, respect evaporates, irrelevance increases and power moves East.
there is already maga inside the us army and other important institutions. irreversible broken everything. look at the ice units, remembers me on hamas in gaza.
They just want to hurt people. They don't care weather they are Americans or not.
Don’t people take their oaths seriously., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/06/some...
They’ll pay the price, COWARDS.
Respect for marines dropping daily. Tax payers agreeing with doge Va cuts. FAFO
Their leader doesn't even know what's IN the Constitution bsky.app/profile/atru...
Hope these so called marines know they still live in America and have family, hoping yellow taco cover it all.
Semper Fi no more. They turned their backs on democracy.
... can't pick on the Marines when you're showing the Army
bsky.app/profile/thex...
From what I’m reading only maga followers were a part of this. Straight up honorable Marines were excluded!
This is a bad meme, that is a national guard uniform. Besides the uniform, easiest way to tell it’s not a Marine, he doesn’t look nearly disgruntled enough and he doesn’t have half a can of grizzly wintergreen in his lip.
When all is said and done, this could be grounds for court martial. The military should tread lightly here.
Military members can and should ignore unlawful orders www.laresistance47.com/shop/defense
At this point anyone who is following him or who obeys him is a Nazi. The “I was following orders” doesn’t work anymore.
US military are a bunch of mindless drones that disassociate and don't hold themselves accountable for their actions
Just following orders.
Completely disgusted with the Marines they have NO honor or integrity anymore.
They really aren’t marines. Just more fucking cosplay. Haven’t had real military in a while
I would no longer hold great faith in the military because they've shown that their allegiance is not to the US Constitution, nor the people of the US. They are supporting an anti-constitionalist via your tax dollars. So in short, you're paying to be targeted by your own military. Hhhmmm.
I respect Marines who don’t betray their oath to our Constitution.
If those generals have sworn fealty to the iDJiT I'd think there subordinates are already there too.
Com'on Marines! You are better than this! Don't be the generation that permanently besmirches the hard earned honor passed down to you by your many heroic fore-bearers. Marines have always stood for honor first and foremost, but what you doing in LA is NOT honorable.
Sadly, the military is filled with brain dead magats.
It is okay; soon they will be picking all the crops. Fitting work for a spineless military. The order could/should have been rejected as unconstitutional, since it is.
I don’t trust the military any longer
I have lost faith in them.
It breaks my heart to say "me too," Deb. 💔
Where is V when we need him
Is it not a US marine’s sworn duty to defend the US people, their constitution and democracy from all enemies foreign and domestic, including home-grown terrorists and wannabe dictators? Surely eliminating such threats with prejudice is what marines are supposed to do even if the threat is POTUS?
Right so in the 1800s some asshole made the Marines the national guards back up plan in certain circumstances, that the Quiverfull folk behind this administration are currently trying to evoke. Its unfortunately kind of legal. But so is protesting.
They trust us to not elect dipshit fascists, so…
This is very bad that they are there. They are trained for two things.. destruction and death. What the f*** are they doing on the streets of an American city ready to go against American citizens. Marines get the hell out of there. Don't do it. 🤬
Wonder what trump is going to do next... Green Berets?
I am old enough to remember when the British government sent Paratroopers on to the streets of Belfast. Bloody Sunday, they called it.
Apparently, a number of generations of soldiers were badly trained… and were fucked.
If our Military doesn't honor their Oath to the Constitution, then they are Traitors and should be court-martialed.
Very good day
we should def have some Nuremburg type trials when this nightmare is over
If
it'll end when the rapist-felon & its greedy, taint-lickin' little toadies f**k things up so bad that we all start goin' hungry Hunger is a Fabulous Motivator -- mister c

Growing more concerned that these Oath things people say they take were just words they said in a room one time and have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on their behavior
Especially not to an arrogant , incompetent buffoon....
Sign idea: You swore an oath Now take a knee
Exactly. I want to know why they're not walking into the White House and handcuffing all of them, they know they're doing illegal stuff. If we did it, we'd be in jail! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️😡
They do, the 🤥🇺🇸🤡 does, and so does every member of Congress. If one has flexible ethics, one can justify horrific acts. Silence is complicity. Make them HEAR YOU.
Sounds like part of the programming on base is fox news broadcast...
Spoiler alert: it was never intended to be used for a parade alone
I know they're told this. I also know most tvs on military bases are tuned into FOX news. So one cancels out the other.
Hitler changed one word in the loyalty oath sworn by the military and the civil service. He changed “Fatherland” to “Fuhrer.” That’s what Trump was doing at Fort Bragg yesterday.
He’s been wanting to be HITLER JR FOREVER. I hope he’s sent to HELL. He’s getting off on the power. Kick him in the nuts ladies.
🤬😡
Nooooo
It's OUR army. Not his.
And Diana Prince is a immigrant!

"Enlisted members of the armed forces swear their oath to those appointed over them; an officer swears an oath not to a person but to the Constitution. The distinction is important." LIEUT. GENERAL GREG NEWBOLD (RET.) APRIL 9, 2006 time.com/archive/6676...
George said to a group of American Marines. You get to pick any one of these 3 orders. Shoot an American, Let an American shoot you, or shoot the guy wanting to be a King. He then says let me give you a hint. Refuse all 3 orders by oath and Moral grounds then side with the American to hang the King!
Shame on this administration using our fine military to serve their own political agenda.
Is it time to rethink how "fine" the military is? Its difficult to understand how anyone could thank someone for their service if this is the service they're now providing... Thank them only when they topple the dictator.
Shame on every service member who goes along with these orders
They did and they also have Fox News playing on every base all the time.
They have broken their oath. Simple.
💯
The marines aptly forgot SEMPER FI its nowl SEMPER FUCK
Our Chairman of Joint Chiefs is a fascist. Hand picked by Trump for this reason.
@MilitaryTimes @WestPoint_USMA @usmarines @USArmy @USNavy @usairforce @ThePentagon Honor your oath, ya back stabbing traitors. Is there not an American, a patriot, a Minuteman, freedom fighter, a brave, or a man amongst you? #usmarines #usarmy #usnavy #usairforce
Any true-blue red-blooded American can spot a christofascist traitor trying to disguise themselves in Christian Americana from a light year away.
These are not Marines. They are storm troopers
Enlisted personnel swear an oath to protect and defend the constitution, but also to follow the orders of officers appointed over them. I have no idea how they could possibly not obey an unlawful order.
