Captain Dylan Blaha criticized President Trump’s use of the military in cities
Captain Dylan Blaha reminded servicemembers to disobey illegal orders. (Dylan Blaha for Congress/X)
A captain of the Illinois Army National Guard posted a video on social media calling on service members to abide by the Posse Comitatus Act. He denounced the recent call to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon, and argued that this was authoritarianism and fascism. He further reminded military servicemembers that “I was just following orders” is not a valid defense against war crimes.
From Captain Dylan Blaha:
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha and this message is for all US military service members, especially every general and admiral meeting with Pete Hegseth on Tuesday. I am a 13 year US Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and wrote war plans while stationed at US Army Europe.
This morning Donald Trump directed Pete Hegseth to deploy the US military to Portland, Oregon. This is the latest illegal attempts to normalize the use of the military in US cities. He authorizes the military to use “full force”. This is authoritarianism. This is fascism.
The US military is not a law enforcement force and all federalized service members must abide by the Posse Comitatus Act. All members of the United States military must disobey illegal orders. “I was just following orders” is not a valid defense against war crimes.
Grow a spine and stand up for your fellow Americans. Otherwise, you are complicit in this fascist takeover. We’re running out of time.

Capt Nasty Gurl..“All enemies foreign and domestic…”
yeah, GTFOOH bish
I hope this fucknozzle is fully cooked and dumpstered.
Let me get my sea lawyer hat on…
Suborning dereliction of duty – UCMJ Article 92
Suborning a mutiny – UCMJ Article 94
Conduct unbecoming an officer – UCMJ Article 133
and everybody’s favorite
Broad range of misconduct – UCMJ Article 134
And that’s a whole 3 minutes of research.
The NG protecting federal property, lives of federal officers, and keeping the general peace ARE NOT UNLAWFUL orders Capt Shithead. The Guard is keeping YOUR KIND of fuckwits in check. I’d like to see your unit activated and you refuse orders and see what happens. I’d bet a dollar-to-donuts he wouldn’t follow his own advice. Too many Tim Walz-types in the Guard today.
Capt Shithead…. Hilarious HT!
Captain, you need to “grow a spine”, stand up for your convictions, and resign your commission immediately. You’ve made your feelings public, now back them up.
Hoping that his resume is in order. We can look forward to him announcing his run for Congress in 5,4,3,2…
He’s in a reserve component, so he’d be looking at having extra weekends off if he’s shown the door. Right now he’s running for a political office.
He already tried earlier this year to primary an incumbent from IL. He lost.
That would be the best course of action for him. He’d be lucky if all he experienced was being passed over for promotion a couple of times and subsequently discharged. Depending on the Army’s mood, they could “pack his shit in.”
Bla ha ha, what a knucklehead
Wrote war plans my ass. Being the assistant to the assistant to the assistant G5 makes you qualified to make coffee, see your enlisted advisor for the proper condiments that go in it.
My very first thought when I read that. *eyeroll*
He probably wrote one annex of an FTX OPORD.
Having got on such folk’s ass to produce…
Since when does an MSC (Medical Service Corps) officer write ‘war plans’? Particularly an O3? Maybe not “stolen valor” but certainly “stolen expertise”.
Ummm…. all branches do participate in the planning process as it relates to their specific fields, i.e. the medical evacuation assets and medical support to operations. So, everyone gets their piece of the pie in a perfect planning environment.
I think we can both agree that he was engaged in a bit of “puffery”. “Writing war plans” sounds so much more macho than “writing the medical portion of paragraph 4 (Administration and Logistics) of a five paragraph field order”. After all, the mess officer can make the same claim.
He probably wrote a fraction of it, all within his area of expertise, and placed under a larger section that other people contributed to… Then insinuated that he was behind the whole thing.
Well… in the words of Captain Hazelwood when he was informed the Exxon Valdez was hard aground — “that’s a great way to end a career.”
How many Exxon tanker captains does it take to wreck a tanker?
One and a fifth!
(Hadn’t been able to use that one in a while.)
OK fuckhead…..
😀
Bwaaaahaaahaaa!!
I like that! Thanks for the laugh!
Will he get the LtCol. Stuart Scheller treatment?
Just noticed his X handle is “Dylan Blaha for congress”. That explains a lot.
Ug. Just looked at his website. He’s basically a gender-swapped AOC. Hits all the Woke talking points.

POS, claiming the PTS of D. I would like to see his service record and MOS. I am smelling a Fobbit like Buttplug.
According to his LI page he was a BN TF medical platoon leader. This is pretty normal for a 2LT. They don’t leave the wire much. I haven’t seen a picture of him at his current rank. In fact he won reserve medical officer of the year in 2024 as a captain and it his 2LT picture on the board. I haven’t seen a CMB or CAB so this seems unlikely.
Also being undergrad research assistant four years ago does not a scientist make.

Holy flaming liberal shit balls, Batman!
These are it’s “thoughts” on public safety, which should give pause to any thinking person, “Additionally, I support ending the death penalty, ending life sentences without possibility of parole, ending mandatory minimum sentences, decriminalizing activities that are byproducts of poverty and homelessness (such as sex work and drug use), and ending solitary confinement. We must also expand Pell Grants, pay incarcerated people at least the federal minimum wage for their labor, and end the use of cash bail”.
Imagine, doing one to five years for larceny and getting paid the minimum wage for your time in prison?
This guy, just by his postings on his web site, is building his defense for any charges ever filed against him.
So you’re saying I could make more in prison than from my retirement? Who do I have to hold up!?
Yeah, Illinois lucky 13th. The one shaped like a dick with the ballsack in ESTL. Wanna bet he has never even showed his face in the Post-Apocalyptic waste land that is ESTL? With the most murders of police officers of any city in the US (not per capita, actual numbers) it is not the friendliest of places.
Probably never showed up there, unless it was to view the ladies at the various (more than a few) jiggly bars in the area of which some are, shall we say, of higher class than others.
Middle name “Mulvaney”
Joe Biden forcing out Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. for his comments on the Afghanistan withdrawal = Good
Donald Trump forcing out Captain Dylan Blaha over his comments on deploying US troops within America = Bad.
Any questions? The easy way to remember is that everything Democrats do is good and everything that Republicans do is a threat to our democracy, even though we all know that America is a Constitutional Republic.
Replace the word democracy with power any time one of them spouts off from their pie hole, and whatever they are saying makes more sense.
Yes, sir, are correct about teh left/libtards:
I criticized Scheller back then too for running his suck. The big difference here is Scheller knew better but let his feels over dead Marines get in his way. So I can be a little more sympathetic towards him than the guy that is opposing the restoration of ROL.
Scheller knew he was putting his neck in the noose, he’d exhausted regular channels, said “fuck it”, and stormed the castle.
Agreed. I was going to say the same about this guy till his link went poof. That tells us all we need to know. Instead we have a coward lacking the conviction of his alleged conscience.
“Donald Trump forcing out Captain Dylan Blaha over his comments on deploying US troops within America”.
Nope. The grandstanding little captain volunteered as tribute. Sacrificing himself on the altar of progressive/liberal virtue signaling. So be it, the Army will give you what you seek.
You know how Demtards are– disagreement with them is stinky evil bad:
My beloved bff could be this nutjob. She suppresses it around me out of respect but once I leave it all comes out.
Dude. The National Guard has been used to bring order to US Cities, IN SUPPORT of police, since at least the 1960s. You cant be this stupid. And learn thr definition of fascism.
1860s?
Richmond remembers.
1790’s Whiskey Rebellion.
Or: US Army (Inf & Cav + 6 tanks) vs. Bonus Army; 28 July1932.
If you have lived in West Virginia you have no doubt heard of the 1921 ” Battle_of_Blair_Mountain “–
“the United States Army, represented by the West Virginia National Guard led by McDowell County native William Eubanks,[8] intervened by presidential order……..A combination of poison gas and explosive bombs left over from World War I were dropped in several locations …….. Gatling guns and machine guns were employed by both sides…….”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain
Washington DC, 1968—
Anybody remember Kent State? Hough Riots in Cleveland in the ’60s? This guys is a buffoon! Hope the Army eats him alive.
Captain, you have evidently not studied history.
The United States military has been deployed on a number of occasions to assist local law enforcement, and federal law enforcement to do their jobs. The USMC was actually used to protect the U.S. Mail. As long as these troops are not actually performing law enforcement duties, but are being used as a protective force for the law enforcement units in the area there is no violation of the Constitution.
But you just had to open that hole under your nose and question the CIC. That, my young friend, is basically insubordination. You should have learned that in Captain School.
Your classmates are very disappointed.
To take charge of this post and all government property in view. Pretty simple and clear.
Insubordination?
Or sedition?
Yes. And campaigning.
In uniform.
Hatch Act, anyone?
I haven’t seen that (yet) but that doesn’t mean it’s not out there. The links posted don’t seem to work anymore. Imagine that…
He is the perfect level of sleaziness to be in Congress. Yell things and run away and hide. Reminds me of someone who doesn’t post here anymore.
Ah man I’m gonna miss that guy.
He’ll be back. He can’t help his self
It seems unlikely. Unless Antifa gets declassed or he has a sudden uncontrollable pang of conscience.
He’ll be back.
Try saying his name three times.
His classmates may not be disappointed. It’s likely he’s always been a “it’s all about me” blue falcon type. They’ve been expecting this.
“…I wrote war plans while stationed at US Army Europe.”
BullCrap. War Plans? You mean he may have been assigned with others to write/update the Medical Service Corps portion of some USAREUR OPORD?
Please…Give us a frikin break…(Eyes Rolling)..

“During his USAREUR-AF tenure, Blaha, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a Master of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, led planning to support multiple major geo-political crisis, to include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.”
“Capt. Blaha deliberately and directly shaped how NATO medical operations will be executed in Europe across the conflict continuum,” McManus added.”
Oh well shit, my bad, where is his Legion of Merit? Or dare I say, Defense Superior Service Medal?
Wow, a Medical Service Corps officer doing that severe hardship tour of Germany. I stand corrected; he wasn’t a fobbit. He is the REMFyist of REMFs. You can’t get much further into the rear than the hospital in Wiesbaden. It is just across the river from my old AO of Lee Barracks in Mainz. Riddle me this, how does a microbiologist at a hospital get PTSD? Did he see something shocking and scary in his microscope?
😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂😆😅🤣😂
Dude consumed too much Wiener Schnitzel, Brotchen and German Beer….
Golly, how I loved the German food. I went from that to eating C-rats 24/7 in the Viet of the Nam.
I have been to Germany several times over a period of over 20 years, in several places, and never ever had a bad meal.
Well, once. I ordered a “curry wurst” in a bar the last time I was there. Very disappointing (reminiscent of British “cuisine”), but I suspect it was the “cook’s” preparation, not the item itself.
And don’t forget the beverages. Also ausgezeichnet!
Well, bar food… hard to mess up, but some can manage.
Hold off on the Schnitzel. Even money, guy’s a vegan.
You have no idea.
Ass deep in fecal samples and all out of hand grenades.
A sample of streptococcus called him a pussy. It was seared, seared into his brain and he was never the same. The horror…
Yep…an actual sperm.
Aw, he gets to drive 100mph on the Autobahn, drink all the German beer he wants and do sightseeing on weekends (especially long ones)– it’s sooooo awful! /sarc
My father was stationed at Wiesbaden Air Base 1964-67 and then was at the 497th Recon Tech Group in Schierstein 1975-76. We loved living in Wiesbaden.
Well, I learned something because of this soon to be ex military guy. I’ve wondered how the War Department squares up an order to deploy troops domestically when at face value it’s contrary to the Posse Comitatus act.
Turns out there’s the Insurrection Act of 1807 which allows the president to use the military to suppress insurrection or enforce laws when civilian law enforcement is overwhelmed. Wikipedia says it was used by President Kennedy in 1962 at the Univ. of Mississippi to put down a riot which erupted when the federal government was enforcing integration of the university. 30,000 troops were deployed after the mob had injured 168 US Marshalls, 28 by gunfire. There’s a number of other articles about this act on the web.
Here is a guide to every time it has been used up to 2022.

Great link! I knew MacArthur was responsible for clearing out the Bonus Army, but I had no idea he was acting way outside of his authority. I’m not exactly shocked, though.
I have heard (can’t cite a source) that Patton said it was the hardest thing he ever had to do in uniform.
My grandpa, who was a coal miner in West Virginia was alleged to have fought at Blair Mountain by family legend. The participants didn’t talk about it much. But imagine if you will sending an infantry division and a squadron of F15s to put down down Antifa in Portland?
I’m getting “enjoys a part time job performing as a costumed superhero/kid’s show character/Chuck E Cheese on the weekends” vibes.
I hope the internet finds this turd’s skeletons and provides the lolz.
Are you saying that Captain Dylan Blaha drives a decrepit, windowless van?
He probably likes feet.
And bananas, and dick and he eats them both with his butthole. *allegedly*
You mean… ?
I LOVE CANDY!
It says “free puppies inside” on the other side.
He follows dozens of gay and tranny groups and no evidence of a girlfriend soooo…..
Furry?
I was thinking bottom but maybe.
Hey, the options for freaky dumbassery are endless today!
Normalize the U.S. Military in US cities?? The way the democrats have normalized crime in US cities and those same cities NEED the military to make them safer, again??? Which democrat turd was it a couple of weeks ago that said that “crime is a part of American history!” ?
Dumb ass!!!
Copperhead
I don’t think this guy has an actual job. Like he has never had an actual job outside of being a research assistant and his Guard activations.
If we didn’t know this wasn’t Lars, I’d think this was him.
I have no doubt Lars would 100% agree with this putz.
Well this site has always protected Lars. Even after he was proven a terrorist. I guess I was early to the party.
Can’t wait to see the comments on his next OER. Most likely a Relief for Cause OER.
No more fatsh*t beardos and other “woke” crap:

Welcome, assuming he IS still in the National Guard I’m thinking we’ve just officially met Captain Obvious(ly) not going to be a Captain anymore. No retirement, no keeping the rank. No Captaincy. No loss. Truly a misinformed pea brain.
Advising, counseling, or urging military members to disobey orders is punishable under federal law (18 USC Sec. 2387), which includes penalties up to 10 years in prison.
Tack on whatever other punitive articles under the UCMJ that are applicable and charge him with all of them.
If there is any justice left, his political aspirations and future military career opportunities should be cut short.
O3 Blaha can eat a bowl of dicks.
If he wrote war plans, he didn’t read the part about UCMJ orders for shit heads. All Reserves can be recalled for punishment. I cut a set on a 2LT that told the General to get fucked and would have been out at 2400 hrs. that evening. He Got Court Marshalled. The General sent me a box of Cigars. I cut the order after everyone had left on a Friday evening and had to copy paste from the system!!!
He’s trying to kick dust and get noticed by the leftard community. He ran for Congress earlier this year and got a whopping $26,000 in donations. Another run might net him more so what’s to lose? He’s now had his 15 minutes.
Captain Crunch here is one dingleberry short of a full on azzhole.
