    and their president

    During training we are very specifically taught that nothing is above the constitution, including the president. We are obligated to refuse illegal orders.

    If it stuck with me, hopefully it stuck with a few of the people still in service.

      Isn’t a large part of the federal workforce veterans? I can’t imagine active service members have good feelings about Trump kicking them to the curb

      Refusing illegal orders is something that always sounds good, but never goes well even when it rarely happens in real life. Otherwise the crazy numerous war crimes and illegal things the air force kidnapping citizens human trafficked and abused by ICE because they are brown and “might be illegal” wouldn’t happen.
