Dem veterans break silence after viral video causes backlash on social media: 'Frustrated'

When asked about the video, Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he supports the exhortation in principle but noted that it’s sometimes difficult to parse what’s permissible and what isn’t. When asked what kinds of orders service members should ignore, Crow, one of the lawmakers in the video, pointed to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). "The purpose is to remind people of their oath and their obligation to the Constitution and their obligations under the UCMJ, which are very clear," Crow said.
