What the military oath of enlistment says about legal and illegal orders

9. I can

respect that especially since you achieved what most never do and that is remain civil with me even though we disagree, at least sort-of.
Like I mentioned, I don't disagree with any of the content of the video or it's message. I do disagree with them releasing it though, it's an appeal to people who see them as meddling politicians, regardless that they once served. Enlisted want no part of outsiders agitating their ecosystem, they take offense to being used like this. You already know since you were there before. Enlisted can sit in the lounge and argue about it all night amongst themselves, but opinions from politicians are quite unwelcome. In other words, I can fight my brother all day, but no one else better even think about laying a finger on him. They have enough people telling them what to do, especially on the critically taboo subject of considering disobeying a direct order from a superior. That is the road leading to hell and they need no reminders of that.
