Today the National Institute of Military Justice (NIMJ) hosted a meeting focused on lawful and unlawful military orders. It featured six NIMJ experts who each have written about or practiced extensively with issues of military orders. In order to improve public understanding of the issues, the Zoom meeting was open to the public.
About five minutes in, a person or persons attempted to hijack the meeting. They posted videos and messages praising Hitler and Naziism. They tried to flood this content to disrupt the progress of the presentation.
The plot was foiled when the NIMJ VP ended the meeting and started a new one including with the same participants as before, minus Nazis.
In this author's opinion, the fact that the event was targeted by Nazis validates that NIMJ's attention to issues surrounding lawfulness of military orders was timely and important. You might be doing something right when you're battling Nazis.
