My fellow veterans will no doubt agree

[markbark]

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God

I took that oath 42 years ago -- still holds.

But I'll bet the weasels pretending to be lawyers in the administration will say that "I will obey the orders of the President of the United States" takes precedence over "according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice"

They will, of course, be wrong.
Starting in Basic Training it was drilled into us that it was not only your right, but your obligation, your DUTY to refuse unlawful orders.

"I was only following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg. It won't work at any future proceedings. I feel that a vast majority of the armed forces know this. Those that don't will learn quickly.
