While the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires service members to obey “all lawful orders,” the definition of “lawful orders” as commonly understood excludes orders to commit crimes, target civilians or noncombatants, or perform civilian law enforcement activities that have long been banned under U.S. law.

Trump is no longer able to contain his narcissistic rage at being criticized or disobeyed. Calling for service members to disobey his administration’s blatantly illegal orders is a defiant act of patriotism.
