I went through Basic Training in 1986. Not the most “woke” year in American history. And they drilled it in to us, over and over, the importance of following lawful orders, and knowing what unlawful orders were, so we could refuse to obey them. Once upon a time, Americans actually tried to act like the good guys, instead of just pretending to.

Also this "they want the people that will only listen to just orders, and not unjust orders" isn't the sick burn he thinks it is.

18. I see OAN is sporting the Russian orange symbolism here.

Usually, I've just seen the Ruskie flag colors used on OAN for backgrounds and logos. (The OAN logo here uses the Russian flags blue and red.) Also here we have the orange stripes in the background, the orange background for the type "Another Fauci..." and there's a bullet point orange on the show title logo "Turning Point" with orange lettering below.

If you'll note:
Ribbon of Saint George
The ribbon of Saint George (also known as Saint George's ribbon, the Georgian ribbon; Russian: Георгиевская ленточка, romanized: Georgiyevskaya lentochka; and the Guards ribbon in Soviet context: see Terminology for further information) is a Russian military symbol consisting of a black and orange bicolour pattern, with three black and two orange stripes. It appears as a component of many high military decorations awarded by the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and the current Russian Federation.

In the early 21st century, the ribbon of Saint George has come to be used as an awareness ribbon for commemorating the veterans of the Eastern Front of the Second World War (known in post-Soviet countries as the Great Patriotic War). It is the primary symbol used associated with Victory Day. It enjoys wide popularity in Russia as a patriotic symbol, as well as a way to show public support to the Russian government.[1] Since 2014, the symbol has become much more controversial in certain post-Soviet states such as Ukraine and the Baltic states, due to its association with pro-Russian and separatist sentiment.[2] This is especially true in Ukraine since 2022, when the Russian Armed Forces used it in occupied parts of the country. There, it has come to be associated with Russian nationalism and militarism.[3] -Wiki



Russia also uses orange for their spacesuit color as they think it denotes supremacy.

And finally:

I also feel like the OAN name and logo on that clip are the logical inverse of Russia 1’s logo

greater fashion than people realize. And I think they're being funded by the ruskies in greater fashion than what is widely known.

Saw this awhile ago from The Daily Beast:
If the stories broadcast by the Trump-endorsed One America News Network sometimes look like outtakes from a Kremlin trolling operation, there may be a reason. One of the on-air reporters at the 24-hour network is a Russian national on the payroll of the Kremlin’s official propaganda outlet, Sputnik a Kremlin-owned news wire that played a role in Russia’s 2016 election-interference operation, according to an assessment by the U.S. intelligence community.

This article is from 2019 and a very interesting read.

I wish we could get justice to investigate these fools and if nothing else get their Russian funding cut off.

My daughter won’t be reenlisting. Had a long phone call with her yesterday

She’d just been sexually assaulted. For the second time! She hadn’t told me of the first

She filed a complaint and the guy has been relocated while “under investigation”. She wasn’t raped but he did things with her saying no

And a new NCO in her unit was previously found guilty of assault

These articles are a year old and nothing has changed

‘A Poison in the System’: The Epidemic of Military Sexual Assault
Nearly one in four U.S. servicewomen reports being sexually assaulted in the military. Why has it been so difficult to change the culture?

They don't know a goddamned thing about the military. Whether it's Ted "Poopy Pants" Nugent, or Scott "We Have All The Guns!" Baio, or thugs like the Proud Bitches or Unpatriot Farce, none of these cowards have served. None. Oh, sure. They get their hands on AR-15's then act like tough guys with unarmed drag queens. They shoot beer cans on their ranch in Michigan or whatever. They descend on Boston and gang up on and beat up black men. They run over protesters in their trucks.

But to actually sign up and serve their military and their country? YEAH, RIGHT!

Why? Because they're cowards. Because they hate this country. Because, gee, they might shoot back...

These gutless wonders wouldn't know a thing about the military, or about being "alpha males." More like omega males... They're about as courageous as Rush Limbaugh. They're about as tough as a stick of butter sitting in the sun for 12 hours.

Why doesn't Mr. Eyebrows there show us how it's done, get off his cowardly ass, and enlist? Oh. Wait. He might get hurt! Boo hoo...
