Former Marine Claims Troops Are Now Discussing "Disobeying Unlawful" Orders From Trump

Did anyone see this interview with Alex Witt?


Former Marine Claims Troops Are Now Discussing “Dosobeying Unlawful” Orders From Trump As They Expect Him To Turn to The Military To Keep Him In Power

Former Marine who served in Iraq and Democratic Representative Seth Mouton recently sat down for a remote interview with MSNBC’s Alex Witt and wasted absolutely no time in criticizing Donald Trump for his alleged comments, calling fallen American service members “losers” and “suckers.” But things got even more serious when Mouton revealed that the disdain for and dissatisfaction with the current president runs deep in the US military.
The MSNBC host asked the former Marine how current and former members of the United States military feel about their current commander-in-chief, and Mouton cut right to the chase.

Witt asked, “What have you heard from troops? Those that are your constituent, veterans that have come home or those who you’re in contact?”

“Well, I’m not going to speak for every veteran,” Mouton responded, “but I can’t tell you how many have reached out to me and said that they have discussions now in the military about what it means to disobey unlawful orders, because they fully expect them from the commander in chief. There are a lot of people, even inside the White House, who believe that he’s going to try to get the military to keep him in power after he loses this election to Joe Biden.”

I am truly scared because of the articles I have read in the past years about White supremist infiltrating not only Law Enforcement but miltiary as well.

Hey USMC -- I am totally fine if you march into the White House and haul out the Russian agent-imposter posing as our president. You'd be doing America a great service! And you would show him who the real loser and sucker is.

amazement that we hoped the military would haul the Dumpf out of the WH if need be. "The military? We're in support of the military standing up for the constitution and against the pResident. Who would have thunk it?"
