No. He did NOT tell anyone to do anything except read the relevant law
and decide for themselves.
And since the United States has not been invaded...
...and there hasn't been a rebellion (protests aren't that)...
...and even if there were the law states:
"Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the
States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the
commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia."
Which was not done.
Trump's order was therefore unlawful,
And military personnel have a duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders.
You know that if you'd ever served in the military.
'In the oath that service members take, they pledge to âobey the orders
of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers
appointed over meâ¦â The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)
specified that they are required to obey âthe lawful orders of his/her
superior.â'
