Six elected Democrat legislators who are former military officers with privileged or intelligence backgrounds are eroding our American military chain-of-command culture and values by issuing scurrilous and mutinous comments. Inciting rebellion by urging US service men and women to refuse “illegal” orders, “illegal” orders which they never identified, is punishable in any country’s military, especially during wartime.
These Democrat individuals include Maggie Goodlander, (D-NH), Chris Deluzio, (D-PA), Jason Crow, (D-CO), Chrissy Houlahan, (D-PA), Mark Kelly, (D-AZ), and Elissa Slotkin, (D-MI).
These individuals should receive swift military justice, including being “busted” in rank, pay, pension, and perks. Reduction in rank and pay should be imposed; pensions should be revoked; PX privileges should be eliminated; VA health & medical benefits should be erased; fines should be imposed; dishonorable discharges from the military issued; jail time considered. Eliminating any future position of political office should be carefully considered and evaluated by the voters who reside in the districts of these six scurrilous individuals. The mutinous words issued by these individuals make them the “Benedict Arnold” of our times. “Selling out” the American military now during these “trying times” is equivalent to Benedict Arnold’s selling of West Point to the British during our Revolutionary War.
George Washington would hang traitors and deserters in our Colonial Army during the Revolutionary War. He even put rebellious leaders to face the firing squad at Valley Forge for inciting desertions. King George III and Great Britain were mighty opponents during 1775 – 1783, and any internal undermining of American morale from our own troops would undoubtedly affect the solidarity and morale of American Patriots and American countrymen & women during our courageous and bloody battles with the mighty British army.
President Trump is only guilty of keeping Americans safe from the influx of drugs, which are insidiously killing Americans from all walks of life. These killing drugs are illegally entering our shores via the use of sleek, super-fast, shallow-draft speedboats. “Fishing boats” have a different look altogether than these “drug boats,” which are loaded with contraband and are therefore being destroyed. President Trump is taking steps to save Americans from the consistent and growing influx of murderous drugs from South and Central America and China.
General Jack Keane, a retired American general who served as Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army from 1999-2003, and now serves as a national security analyst, calls the actions of these six legislators”reckless,” with “no findings of illegal orders being given by President Trump.”
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine Patriot, will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” “American Crisis,” by Thomas Paine…read by George Washington to his men on Christmas night, 1776, before crossing the frozen Delaware River to attack the British and Hessians at Trenton.
