“It’s been 40 years since I spent the summer in San Diego becoming a US Marine. I’m sure things have changed since then, but I doubt they’ve changed so much that anyone graduates any armed forces boot camp without receiving instruction in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. A summary, from memory, on the section (Article 92) concerning orders: You must obey lawful orders. You must not obey unlawful orders. … If it’s ‘treason’ or ‘sedition’ to state that fact, then every instructor in every basic training class on military law is a traitor who’s been teaching treason and preaching sedition to every recruit since 1950, when the UCMJ was adopted … and probably long before that.” (11/25/25)
