There is this scene in the German movie Stalingrad where the squad gather around their officer after countless degradations and desperate situations. Finally, after the high command lie to them about something or another the officer agrees to break out from the pocket with "I no longer feel bound by my oath" which is pretty shocking for a German Army officer to say.
The good news: A lot, lot of honorable people in DC are doing the opposite and digging in against this wave of anti-Constitutional thuggery. Hopefully the courts can help many. Kash Patel stands with the J6 thugs. He's with the gallows bringers and cop beaters.
