Would you obey an illegal or unconstitutional order?

This question looks like a set up to bash Trump, but I am genuinely concerned about whether or not the US military of today has enough knowledge of the constitution and the doctrine of separation of powers to make a sensible and legal decision in such an instance. I know I am in “old guy“, but for me the answer is “No, I would not follow an illegal or unconstitutional order!” I would hope that at least some of our senior leader ship (and I don’t have much confidence, based on what I’ve seen of late, that very many are of like mind) would feel the same way.

1st, we HAD an illegitimate sitting"POTUS", a man not o ly not natural born, as per the Constitution, but not even an US citizen, & all efforts to oppose him & his unlawful orders & acts were treated as CRIMES, indtead of being properly investigated, & evidence heard, which tells me those asking this question, now, do not WANT the truth here; the way it's worded says they want the narrative. Well, I can't & won't give it to them. We now have a 2nd illegitimate régime in place: a senile old man incapable of rationally dicarging the duties, & a NON- citizen (per the correct reading of the 14th A on citizenship) masquerading as VPOTUS. Obeying them is to betray the very Constitution to which we now sed to take our oaths, not to mention disobeying the higher laws of Yhwh God! These are people following & pushing the anti-Constitutional, anti- God, Satanic agenda, whom I cannot, in good conscience, obey under any circumstances. As an officer, the UCMJ required me to not follow such orders, had I been given such. As a citizen & Christian I must obey God's law when there is a conflict, & where the Bible isn't entirely clear on a specific issue, for example the jabs called "vaccines" erroneously, I revert to my professional training & experience & the Holy Spirit's guidance. The bottom line is no, Icould & would not obey unlawful orders, however, I would discern which "side" was telling the truth!

I thought this issue was fully answered at Nuernberg in 1945-46.

Sit back and watch.

In the present case,we know this person has flawed view of what has happened. I would not follow him at any cost. Those that choose to do so are entitled to their opinions. Being a sore loser, just shows how much he wanted to follow in Hitlers steps. We have never had a dictator and most agree, never will. Our constitution guarantees that freedom is for all not just the rich.

"... I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ..." 1965, no expiration date.
For those currently serving it applies most specifically.
To obey an unconstitutional order would violate my oath; to obey an illegal order would violate my moral code.

The only reason I can see someone asking this question in the current times is to stir the pot and cause a mess. As a “civilian supporter” it really isn’t your position to ask any military personnel Retired or Active duty whether or not they would obey a “legal or unconstitutional order” unless you are trying to do so. In my honest opinion. Who are you really working for and what’s your motivation behind this question?

NEVER!! It happened to me in June 1976 at Camp Zama Japan. I had a SGM who thought he was God. A E-9 that was a idiot!! I am preparing to clear post for my ETS and the SGM tells me to get a haircut!! My is within legal limits so I ignore him!! A few days later he says I told you to get a haircut, I reply my hair is legal, I am NOT getting a haircut!! He then gives me a Direct Order to get a haircut!! I ignore again as the order is ILLEGAL!! So I get sent to see my CO a Major. He reads the Article 15 to me. Asks me if I have any questions. I say Yes I have questions and facts. #1 your hair is longer than mine Sir!! He says put your cap on and turn around then agrees his hair is longer than mine! what else do you have? I asked what war are we fighting?? He says we are not at war, Why?? I ask if he knows his General Orders. The lightbulb comes on!! He says grab that half of the Article 15, he grabs the other and tears it up!! He says wait in the 1SG office till released and to tell Top he wants to see the SGM!! The SGM got wrote up!

We are not talking some easy to perceive here like killing bound prisoners or woman and children. If you think it's a bad order press the person giving it. If they falter, it's probably a bad order. Now anyone obeying a 'Bad' order had better not come back later and say "I was just following orders." It's too late then. We have the UCMJ, our military values and of course the Geneva convention to help guide us. And never forget your heart and gut. I've disobeyed a couple of direct orders in my time. I've still got my rank and retirement.............
