The Air Force is the only one of the military branches involved in President Donald Trump's mandated border mission to not disclose publicly the number of service members or what units they're coming from.
Taking an Article 15 or court-martial instead of participating in massive civil rights violations not only absolutely is an option, but it’s the only ethical one!
No, they executed Nazis for operating death camps.
They did not execute for “just following orders”, aka Nuremberg Defense.
As it turns out, soldiers in all militaries follow orders every day without being executed.
Unless you’re going to explain how removing a unit patch and name tag, or transporting people to their country of origin is worthy of execution, I’m not sure that you have an argument.
Resigning ones commission is exactly the type of meaningful protest that is needed. Nazis soldiers got pay and retirement benefits as well but tough things are tough to do. It sorta cracks me up because you say literally not an option and then present the very literal options they have.
That’ll be an Article 15 for sure, maybe a courtmartial.
Unlikely. The military doesn’t chase down people who are AWOL much anymore. I know two people who have been AWOL for 20 years now. And they aren’t hiding much at all.
They always have another option: walk away.
That is literally not an option for a very large majority of these service members. That’ll be an Article 15 for sure, maybe a courtmartial.
Yes, the people made to assist the Nazis in the 1930s/40s had to make some tough decisions too.
