Americans wholeheartedly failed by sitting on the fence instead of letting a woman win.

90 million people didn't vote, more than either candidate got. The winner of the election had 31% of the vote.

We "quiet quit" democracy, if anything.

They'd never allow him to live. He could be on fifth avenue with his hands behind his head and the cult would summary execute him on live TV to send a message.

Ah yes, the dog days of summer. When cities are known for being especially peaceful and compliant. What better time of year to deploy armed thugs to intimidate the local populace.

This is gonna be great. I'm making the popcorn.

I saw that movie. Loved the ending.

Getting an order proven unlawful in court martial is next to impossible. It's not like the movies. The order would have to be a long the lines of "shoot those pregnant women knitting socks for legless orphans"-level of evil in order to win the case.

It'll be years of court while serving your sentence, a guaranteed separation, and questionable as to whether you'd even retain your benefits like healthcare or GI bill.

You're probably better off pleading insanity than trying to argue an order was unlawful. It sucks but that's the way it is. The military is a machine made up of 100% expendable resources at this point.
