Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told an audience in a previously unreported 2016 video that the US military “won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief,” and described the refusal of illegal commands as a part of the military’s ethos and standards — a message he now condemns Democrats for spreading.
The difference is that for Hegseth, a president can give legal and illegal orders and the latter must not be followed. For the Democrats, any order Trump gives is automatically illegal and must not be followed.
