If you were in the armed services, would you follow a command to, "fight the enemy within"?

[MrShaun]

In addressing a room full of generals and admirals, Trump bluntly announced, "the enemy is within.

If you were in the military, would you take up arms against U. S. citizens to protect Trump's power?

The enemy is within!"

I'd reject the order, protect the actual U. S. Constitution, and accept the consequences.

I'd do what was necessary to keep Trump in power!

Is so something completely different. My answer is in comments.

I would take that as a sign to turn terrorist and go all Charlie Kirk on him right there!

A room full of military cowards, being told the "warrior ethos" by a military nobody

[AgentG111]

Curious if you have read the oath that military members take in reference to this and what they swear to?

[MrShaun]

Do you have the oath you can provide?

[AgentG111]

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 believe this answers that question of if someone fails to follow an order they are in violation.
Each human can of course disobey and face military court marshall (as opposed to being shot in the year before.)

[MrShaun]

So what if their orders seem to oppose their alliance to the Constitution?

[AgentG111]

That's for each member to decide on their behalf but oppose or break / violate?
Support and defend it and obey orders from the president of the United States of America.

[AgentG111]

Also fighting the enemy within is a domestic enemy!
This has been warned to us for almost 70+ years.
It's been proven and proven and all you have to do is look who has been elected to Congress and to the presidency to confirm Our enemies of the United States of America have put people in place in order to undermine our way of life and to remove our Constitution to put us under world order and they want to Rule! They do not want to govern.

They probably just nodded and smiled politely knowing he'll be gone soon.

[MrShaun]

Realistically, he's not even through his first year. Unfortunately, he has enough time to try and orchestrate a coup against the government.

Hitler did many of these same things to gain and retain power.

Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I know who they are. I did even back in the day. There were always draft-avoiding turn coats. If they sabotaged operations, they didn't make it home.
