I was interviewed last week by Margaret Flowers from Clearing the FOG Radio Show about the issue of illegal orders under #MilitaryLaw, in the context of the #Trump administration's deployment of federalized #California #NationalGuard troops and US #Marines to the streets of #LosAngeles. The interview included discussion of the legal situation facing #military servicemembers as it relates to these deployments, but also the boundary lines of what servicemembers can (and can't) legally do as it relates to #FreeSpeech actions.
The program can be heard in podcast form (follow the link below) but also will be heard on #WBAI 99.5 FM in #NewYorkCity (Pacifica Radio in #NYC) at 6 pm Eastern on Tuesday, June 17th as well as on some college radio stations.
I do have one minor correction on my remarks about DODI 1325.06 (which happened towards the end of the program), as I left out one key factor --- that members of the military cannot legally engage in free speech actions when stationed outside the United States.
Finally, I want to share links to the groups I mentioned in this program, including:
