To any National Guard personnel reading this message:
Refuse unlawful orders. Refuse to treat your own country like a warzone. You do not want to live the rest of your life with that guilt. Trust me, I speak to you as a veteran with many regrets, who has to live with the effects of moral injury every day. Do not obey. #LA #NationalGuard #ICE

And remember: I was just following orders is not a legal defense.

If you’re a CAARNG soldier and you don’t want to deploy, contact About Face, or the GI Rights Hotline. You are NOT alone.

@biplanepilot I was with the CAARNG in 1992. I second this. Do what you know is right.

@Lightfighter Sincere question: how are you doing tonight? This is hard to watch.

@biplanepilot Not great. Keyed up like that feeling you get going out on a mission with contact likely, but with no outlet. Probably won't sleep much this week.

ICE Agents,

Keep notes, which ones are new, which ICE agents are proud boys, which racists crazies. Your testimony will be country saving.

Powerful but painful: “I speak to you as a veteran with many regrets, who has to live with the effects of moral injury every day. Do not obey. #LA #NationalGuard #ICE” 😐

@biplanepilot Thank you for mentioning moral injury. That’s a term I don’t think most people are familiar with, and one of the most difficult to reconcile. I wish you well 💜✌️

@biplanepilot So....the governor of California is just going along with all this? He has operational control of the NG, and could refuse to act. They are not under federal control unless activated for such a purpose.

@biplanepilot If called up they should report to their bases, stack arms and retire to their barracks until lawful orders are received.
