From all the military , no matter what he wants, which is to use them to threaten or kill people for him he hates because they're not like him , and he's a racist with power. HE wants to be like putin, duterte, the saudi prince, and little kim so bad. Why anyone in the military would vote or support him and the gop is disturbing.

WARNING to all troops headed to the US/Mexico Border:
If you fire on unarmed asylum seekers, you will be prosecuted under the #UCMJ.

This is an “#UnlawfulOrder.”

There is no “I was only following orders” defense here.
Use your heads.
