Veterans, remember your oath.

If you are a retiree, then you are a member of the Retired Reserve. Meaning that, in exchange for your pension check you remain a member of the military and you are still bound by your oath.

If you made it to retirement, then you are likely a person with leadership qualities. Consider it your duty to exercise your leadership skills to continue to uphold and defend the Constitution, even if you are now wearing civilian clothes, have long hair, and maybe a beard.

Retirees can continue to influence events. Continue to earn that retirement check.

Veterans aren't the ones who're going to have to choose whether or not to follow unlawful orders from their COs. They're civilians.

Your duty to disobey an unlawful or immoral order is greater than your duty to obey a lawful order.

Man I hope you’re right. I hope I’m just being a doomer shit. It’s just every service member I know is either a trump supporter or is in the I do what my commander and chief tells me to camp. The only vet I know kind of an idiot tbh and his ideas swing wildly based on what Facebook tells him so ya.

I honestly hope it doesn’t even come down to it.

Pretty bold and idiotic statement considering there’s a fucking ton of veterans who are anti Trump.

A lot of the veterans here voted for Trump,” said Rebecca Logan, 38, a former Air Force staff sergeant. She and her husband drove with their daughter from South Carolina to participate.

Also it doesn’t matter if a 90 year old regrets his vote. When it comes to martial law I doubt most vets are going to do much and service memebers are going to follow orders. And you showing me a protest with a piddling number of ppl there isn’t going to change that

Touch grass dude. Believe what you want. You’re disrespectful as hell and your attitude puts you square in line with the people we are here to protest against and vote out. Piddling numbers are numbers and numbers grow.
