Six Democrat Members of Congress -- all with military or intelligence backgrounds -- recently released a video urging members of the U.S. military and Intelligence Community to "refuse illegal orders."
To say that I am disturbed this video is an understatement. As a former Air Force JAG, I take the issue of unlawful orders very seriously, and I cannot find a single example of an illegal order during this administration.
To that end, I believe these Democrats owe it to the country to be specific about which orders they think are unlawful.
