    You’re missing the part where the non-loyal German soldiers would face harsh consequences, including execution, for failing to follow orders.

    I already addressed that… American soldiers can also face harsh consequences for refusing “legal” orders. The legality of orders are determined by a military court which has a long history of being extremely biased toward protecting commanding officers.

      So your argument is that the government won’t follow the law, but soldiers will? You don’t know many people in the military.

        Is your reading comprehension okay? My point is that there is no real separation between the military and government. The military is led by the executive branch which ultimately hands out orders. The legality of those orders is not determined by the military, it’s determined by the judiciary branch. If the judiciary determines an order as legal, then the military has no choice but to execute the order.

        Which means… The court system, which have been captured by the heritage foundation determines the legality of military borders.

        Lol, my dad retired as a chief. I spent the first 16 years of my life growing up on military bases.
