Today the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the entire US military issued an extraordinary message to all members of the armed forces. It reminded all in uniform of that they took an oath to the Constitution and will obey only lawful orders. They stated that all citizens have the right to freedom of speech and assembly, but that the insurrectionary riot and invasion of the Capitol that took place on January 6 was a direct assault on the Constitution and democratic government. They affirmed our democratic processes and stated firmly that Joe Biden will be inaugurated on January 20. They closed with an admonition to all personnel to "stay ready" and "remain focused on the mission."
