Candidate / 13 Year Mil Veteran Dylan Blaha Calls for Refusal to Follow Illegal Orders
Editor’s note: Dylan Blaha is running in the Democratic Primary for Congress in IL CD 13. This editor would prefer that he split from the Democrats and build a movement challenging the AIPAC rule over the US and absolute control over the leadership of the Democratic Party. He is following the “change from within” route. That said, his campaign website denounces AIPAC, he clearly opposes war and genocide and is receiving support from organizations engaged in the anti-genocide effort. This is a bold statement for him to make and it is what every veteran running for office – like Mikie Sherrill – and every Democrat who claims to be opposed to fascism and massacres against the American people financed by our own tax dollars. For the most part, crickets. Cheers to Dylan Blaha for his bravery!
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for all US military service members – especially every General and Admiral meeting with Pete Hegseth on Tuesday.
I’m a 13-year combat veteran who served in Afghanistan and wrote war plans for US Army Europe.
This morning, Donald Trump directed the “Secretary of War” to deploy the US military to Portland.
This is just his latest illegal attempt to normalize the use of the military in American cities.
He authorized the military to use “full force.”
This is authoritarianism. This is fascism.
The US military is not a law enforcement force and all federalized service members must abide by the Posse Comitatus Act.
All members of the military MUST disobey ALL illegal orders, or you will be subject to a war crimes investigation.
Grow a spine and stand up for your fellow Americans.
Otherwise, you are complicit in this fascist takeover.
