Believe it or not, I am usually pretty good about admitting when I don't know something. Sometimes I may come across as a mouthy know-it-all but deep down, even I know I don't know it all.
Ok, I know most everything, but NOT everything.
Ahem.
Especially when it comes to what is happening with the Idiot Six and their seditious video, I am far from a legal expert. Even further from an expert when it comes to military law, so when I saw this post from Green Beret Nap Time cross my timeline, I thought it was a perfect explanation for what Crow and the others were actually trying to do here.
This was not about the military, per se; it was about their own supporters and bad actors worldwide.

Take a gander at a post from someone who knows a lot more than I do:
Since they seem intent upon continuously using doctrinal propaganda on the US populace, I think it’s important to highlight exactly what Crow and other Members of Congress are really doing.

Rep. Jason Crow’s post is a doctrinal example of narrative escalation within modern IO… pic.twitter.com/mRzMH6eXK2

... and psychological warfare doctrine.
Check out FM 3-05.301 / MISO.
By claiming that the President is threatening him with arrest and execution—a statement never actually made by Trump—Crow amplifies and inflates the narrative to its most extreme form in order to shape public perception.
This tactic, often called interpretive maximalism, takes an opponent’s words or actions and stretches them into a dire or existential threat, allowing the speaker to adopt a position of moral heroism while casting the opponent as an authoritarian danger.
When Crow doubles down on this framing, he creates what IO doctrine refers to as a self sealing narrative, where any denial or criticism becomes proof of the alleged threat.
The emotionally loaded language like “upholding my oath,” “standing with our troops,” “disregard for the rule of law,” are designed to trigger identity based responses and mobilize his political base through fear, outrage, and moral urgency.
In doing all of this, Crow shifts the conversation away from what was actually said and into a battle over perceived intent, a classic PSYOP mechanism that reframes political disagreement as existential warfare.
This is not an evidentiary argument—it is a strategic influence play aimed at narrative dominance.
It is important that Americans recognize these tactics so that they can understand when propaganda is being pushed by their own government officials.
And that's precisely what Crow, Slotkin, Kelly, and the rest of the Idiot Six have been trying to do. I would take that from a vet over the talking heads and the politicians themselves, spinning and spinning to somehow make what they did less horrible.
There is no making this less horrible, in my humble opinion.
