That means all those troops were following illegal orders.

Exactly, stop going after trump. Go after every officer and government agents who followed those orders. See how fast they enforce his bullshit when they’re facing personal consequences

Can’t that asshole just pardon them though?

Yeah, but maybe Trump issuing illegal orders to the military and offering pardons to those that follow them would be the catalyst Congress needs to pass an amendment limiting presidential pardon power.

Oh my sweet summer child

Yeah, I’m aware realistically that will never happen. I was looking for a silver lining.
