    That’s what the whole thing of “refusing illegal and unconstitutional commands” is about.

    Of course Hegseth tries to shift the blame to someone else, but on the other hand, this someone executed an illegal and unconstitutional command.

    In the end, both are guilty.

      Agreed. From the person who gave the order to the person who carried out the order, illegal orders are illegal orders. Both should be held responsible under the UCMJ for the crime. I know they won’t, but they should be.
