25. How about writing a letter to the military to remind them these are illegal orders?

Tue Apr 7, 2026, 05:44 PM

Tuesday

I have been saying it for some time, to me, the biggest problem is when the military obeys orders they know are illegal, and become a tool for a dictator. They have to refuse illegal orders, they should have refused the initial attack, but we are past that point.

Dictatorships cannot exist without the support of the military, and so far, the military has obeyed illegal orders, has betrayed the country by doing so.
