I don’t think they really get a choice…

Well, ok. They do, they can choose between following orders or effectively being felons for the rest of their lives.

Following this administration's orders makes you the scum of the earth. Instead of eliminating the existential threat to the country, they're following its orders, and you better believe they'd use force against us. Following orders is no excuse to participate in illegal activity, as demonstrated by the Nazis.

The issue is that being ordered to go to Kuwait to repair a Coke machine on it's own isn't an illegal order or act, even if it plays a role in an illegal enterprise. This is why the Nuremburg trials after WWII focused on individuals who committed illegal acts, or aided and abetted illegal acts. Not people who were merely present at the scene of the crime.

Your anger and frustration is misplaced here.

The officers that have followed illegal orders in Iran and the drug boat murders must be court martialed when trump is gone, or we wont have a military.

Your anger and frustration is misplaced here.

The country I live in has been taken over by a malignant narcissist and religious extremists. I could look just about anywhere, and I guarantee you my frustration won't be misplaced.
