    They still traitors. They could have refused their illegal orders and opted not to. Especially after DJT’s whole speech about war against americans and the enemy at home.

      I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

      The supreme court seems to bear out that Trump’s orders are constitutional and legal, and therefore they are following legitimate orders.

      The problem isn’t that they are traitors, the problem is that they aren’t, but they should be.

        Their actions in LA were ruled illegal and multiple cities have federal cases about Trump’s use of Title 10. Not sure how the Supreme Court has weighed in.
