I believe 95+ percent of police, soldiers, and FBI/CIA/NSA agents outside of the top brass are good people. I believe they honestly are trying to protect their country and stand up for innocent Americans. That said, something needs to be done to change the culture of “following orders.” If you’re one of these men & women who’ve served, you know the easiest way to get booted out, if not jailed, is to disobey orders. In an old-time war environment when you’re, for example, advancing on a beach head, following orders was critical. In today’s world though, very few situations create such an environment. And we’re confronted with a world where politicians are regularly weaponizing their power against undesirables in their own population, especially those who are a threat to that power. The Constitution is being trampled on. Fundamental human rights are being destroyed. Being a member of this honorable group doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use your brains and own sense of morality. Forget what has been drilled into you through your service career. Every totalitarian regime in history has been enabled by a group of enforcers who were simply “following orders.” You are the last line of defense of powerless citizens who must suffer under these sociopaths. In a world where nearly every institution of influence is under their control and where elections increasingly don’t matter, you may be the only ones who can stop the insanity.
