Let’s get one thing straight: America’s military is the most powerful force on earth because of its unbreakable chain of command. Simple, right? From a fresh recruit to a four-star general, every member operates within a system built on discipline, order, and absolute loyalty to the Constitution. It’s not a suggestion box; it’s a rigid structure.
This sacred principle is the very shield that protects our republic from chaos. It guarantees that our armed forces answer to the elected Commander-in-Chief, not to the shifting winds of partisan politics. But what happens when elected officials, who should know better, decide to take a sledgehammer to that foundation for a cheap political thrill?
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Several Democrat lawmakers who released a video urging military members to not obey “illegal orders” from the Trump administration have now taken on 24/7 security after the president accused them of “seditious behavior” because of the video, according to the New York Post. “Capitol Police came to us and said, ‘We’re gonna put you on 24/7 security,’” Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said when she appeared on MS NOW’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”
So, what high crime or credible threat could possibly require a U.S. Senator to get her own taxpayer-funded Praetorian Guard? The answer, coming from Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, is comedy gold. She and her colleagues lit a political inferno and are now aghast that it’s producing heat.
A Dangerous Call for Military Disobedience
Just last week, Slotkin joined five of her Democratic colleagues—Sen. Mark Kelly and Reps. Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow—to release a slick video with an absolutely bone-chilling message. Addressing America’s military personnel, they issued what can only be described as a call for mass insubordination.
“Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home,” they declared, before dropping the bomb: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders … you must refuse illegal orders.” The subtext wasn’t subtle. They were telling our troops that a lawfully elected President Trump would issue illegal commands, and that it was their duty to defy him. This is a breathtaking act of political subversion.
A President Defends the Chain of Command
President Donald Trump, recognizing this for the existential threat it was, did exactly what a real leader does: he called it what it was. There was no hand-wringing or focus-grouping his response.
“Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL,” Trump announced. He correctly identified their gambit as “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” And of course, the legacy media went into a full meltdown, as expected. While they hyperventilated over his tone, Trump was busy defending the very structure of our military from an unprecedented internal attack.
Cowards Running for Cover
After their little stunt, these paragons of bravery are now melting like snowflakes in a heatwave. The public backlash was immediate, and suddenly, the tough talkers are wailing about “threats.” Slotkin, the only non-veteran in the group, is now on national television complaining about receiving “thousands of calls, emails, texts” from Americans who are, quite rightly, furious.
This is the dictionary definition of elite hypocrisy. They unleash radical, destabilizing rhetoric that could get people killed, but the moment citizens respond with outrage, they retreat and demand protection. They had the gall to suggest our soldiers commit treason, but they lack the backbone to face a few angry phone calls. This isn’t principled leadership; it’s the petulant whining of children who broke the nation’s most expensive vase and are now crying because they got sent to their room.
They tried to appear as guardians of the Republic. Instead, they’ve only exposed themselves as craven agitators who are terrified of the very people they claim to serve.
Key Takeaways
- Democrats are demanding taxpayer-funded security after inciting public outrage.
- Encouraging troops to defy the President threatens our national security.
- The Left’s radical rhetoric collapses when faced with real consequences.
- President Trump is right to defend the constitutional chain of command.
