Joshua Braver on: Military ethics of Trump sending Marines to join National Guard in LA
Joshua Braver, an assistant professor of law who studies civil-military relations, published an oped in the New York Times on June 11 entitled, The Military May Find Itself in an Impossible Situation.
Braver can speak to the ethical dilemma military officers could face if ordered to perform domestic law enforcement duties that conflict with their professional codes. When lawful orders conflict with military ethics, officers are left without clear guidance, caught between following commands and upholding their professional integrity.
He has previously been featured in the Atlantic, Politico, ABC News, Vox, and NPR to name a few.
