Last month, six Democrats released a video urging the military to defy orders from the president and secretary of war. They implied that the military was being told to do something illicit. Yet when pressed, none of them could name a single illegal order.

The goal is obvious: sow doubt inside the ranks, then point to the turmoil they’ve created and call it “chaos” under President Trump. It’s a reckless political tactic.

Undermining trust in civilian control of the military isn’t a game. It poisons the heart of a constitutional republic.

And it’s striking: many of the same people who damaged trust in our judicial system by weaponizing it during Trump’s first term are now targeting one of the last institutions most Americans still respect — our military.

If the goal were to destabilize the country, they couldn’t be doing it more effectively.
