North America - In a recent episode of “Black Man Spy,” Malcolm Nance, a respected military veteran and intelligence expert, raised urgent concerns about the current state of military ethics and leadership in the United States. Nance began by referencing a video made by six veteran members of Congress, who reminded service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders. This reminder, he explained, is a standard part of military training and is reinforced by the Judge Advocate General Corps to ensure that service members uphold the law and avoid actions that could lead to war crimes or dishonor.

Nance drew historical parallels to infamous incidents such as the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War and the Haditha massacre in Iraq, where unlawful orders led to the tragic deaths of civilians. He emphasized that these events serve as stark reminders of why the military must be vigilant in upholding lawful conduct, regardless of political pressure. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) exists precisely to prevent such atrocities and to protect both service members and civilians from unlawful commands.

The report highlighted a disturbing development: President Donald Trump’s public accusations of treason and sedition against these congressional veterans, and his calls for their execution. Nance noted that this unprecedented rhetoric from a sitting president undermines the constitutional rights of both military personnel and elected officials. He warned that such extreme leadership could erode the moral foundation of the armed forces and threaten the safety of American families, especially if unlawful orders are normalized.

Further, Nance described attempts by the administration to investigate and potentially recall retired military officers, such as Captain Kelly, for expressing their views. He argued that these actions set a dangerous precedent, where political loyalty is valued over legal and ethical standards. Nance stressed that the military’s primary allegiance must always be to the Constitution and the American people, not to any individual leader.

In conclusion, Nance called on all Americans to remain vigilant and informed about the laws that govern military conduct. He urged readers to learn more about the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the safeguards it provides against unlawful orders. By understanding these protections, citizens can help ensure that the military remains a force for good, upholding justice and safeguarding the nation from the dangers of unchecked, extremist leadership.
