Where are the 6 ‘Don’t follow illegal military orders’ congresspersons when we need them?

Where are the 6 ‘Don’t follow illegal military orders’ congresspersons when we need them?

Last November, six congresspersons, all military/intelligence vets, released a video telling US military and intelligence officials “You do not need to follow illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.”

President Trump was apoplectic, hinting the ‘Seditious 6 should be prosecuted, possibly even subject to the death penalty. Actually, he more than just hinted. "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH. HANG THEM, GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!”

Since the Seditious 6 were exercising free speech and referencing legal response to illegal military orders, the story vanished within days.

Fast forward 3 months. President Trump launches an illegal, immoral; indeed, criminal war on Iran. In 36 days it’s killed over 3,000, caused massive damage to the entire region including all US Gulf States bases, Iran, Israel and vital energy resources. More ominous, it’s choked off 20% of the world’s oil supply, presaging worldwide recession, possibly even depression. More ominous still, Trump has no path to victory, ensuring it will continue killing and destroying endlessly.

This represents a perfect opportunity for the Seditious 6 congresspersons to use this ghastly, illegal war to reaffirm to every service member that they can, should, must disobey Trump’s illegal orders to make criminal war on Iran.

Where are you Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep Chris Deluzio, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, and Rep Maggie Goodlander? You told military personnel to “not give up the ship.” You gave up the ship of refusing to obey illegal orders on February 28 when the war began. Thirty-six days later you are still AWOL from the urgency of reaffirming to every service person they can, should, must disobey orders to conduct criminal war.

Your silence while the Middle East, possibly the world crumbles, is deafening.
