U.S. Defense Secretary Austin has sent out a memo to troops where he said the American military was committed to an orderly transition to the Trump administration, adding that the military would not get involved in politics and was ready to carry out "all lawful orders."

I imagine that is exactly what Gen. Milley said too.  Words from governmental units don't mean what they used to.

Lies.  We have already learned differently.
I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.

The catch there is in the phrase “all lawful orders” - which is liberal code speak for “orders that comport with my subjective liberal political agenda” just like the phrase “our democracy” when used by a liberal is code speak for “perpetual one-party rule by liberals”.
