Archbishop Broglio says U.S. troops may disobey unethical orders, citing Greenland annexation concerns.
Archbishop Timothy Broglio stated in a January 21, 2026, BBC interview that it is morally acceptable for U.S. service members to disobey orders they believe are unethical, particularly amid concerns over potential military actions in Minneapolis and the Trump administration’s push to seize Greenland.
He emphasized conscience as a moral guide but acknowledged that defying orders carries serious legal risks, as military law only permits disobedience of orders deemed "manifestly" unlawful, not those rejected on personal or religious grounds.
The archbishop criticized the proposed annexation of Greenland as unjust and damaging to America’s global image, highlighting the tension between moral duty and military obedience during a period of heightened geopolitical tension and controversial foreign policy under the administration.
