"I was just following orders" is not a legal excuse. [View all]
As the followers of Hitler learned at Nuremberg.
Yes, and the Democrats should re-iterate and say once again, troops should not follow "illegal" orders and are taught the rules of the Geneva Convention in basic training.
They should also be told that they do not take an oath to Donald Trump or any President, they take an oath to the Constitution.
Democrats should repeat this until they are red in the face. Trump does not like to have his authority challenged in any way. He needs to be challenged at every turn. The military does not have to follow illegal orders. If they are unsure if an order is legal or not, they should consult with their superior officer or their chaplain for guidance. They should never assume that every order from the Commander in Chief is "legal".
