      No Marine obeyed an illegal order, and that’s the whole point of this thread.

      They were used in a very narrow scope as defined by law, protecting specific government buildings.

      It was Trump being a bully and grandstanding, but other than the optics we’re talking about, it was really a lame event.

      The vast majority of the 2k Marines did what Marines always do when they don’t have specific orders on a shit deployment, the sat around or caught up on rack time.
