Disregard all rules, Get this to anyone you know in the US military now

A tweet states that National Guard or Active Duty military ordered to violate constitutional rights can call the GI Rights Hotline for support, with the number 1-877-447-4487 provided.

    Right, but my point was that the location is different. The OP’s image contains this text, which you might not have noticed:

    violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens

    Anyway, if your point is that “GIs aren’t going to care about the fact that these are US citizens,” then I more or less agree with you.

      It implies an adherence to law that I’ve never seen in my lifetime, from neither domestic law enforcement nor foreign deployed military. It should be a factor, but I’ve never seen it in practice.

        If you mean “should” from a moral point of you, I don’t think it should. What’s moral doesn’t change based on your physical location. Or at least, not in my moral framework.

          I’m speaking to the purported “law and order” they claim to enforce. It’s just a fabrication to justify their authority.
