All it takes is one bomb and we’re in a battle situation. What’s the contingency plan? Military is all about contingency plans. You have to know ahead-of-time what you will do because when the time comes you often have one second to react, and then you live with it for the rest of your life.
Now we all know it could never happen in America. We know that we will never have twin tornadoes hit our town, or we will never have an enemy get in the cockpit of a plane and fly it into the Twin Towers or Pentagon. We all know that stuff could never happen in America.
But a person can never be too prepared. So we plan what we will do if the impossible ever happened and we got hit with a 200-foot typhoon.
So let’s pretend that we had an enemy combatant in our White House. Let’s pretend that he was put there by groups who hate us and want to radically transform our country into something like, say, Iran, or maybe Cuba. They’ll do it through peaceful means if they can or by blowing the whole place up and starting over if necessary.
How do we defend the country? The guy can go into his personal and family bunker and blow up the whole country if anybody in Congress even attempts impeachment.
What do we do? What’s the contingency plan? Does our Constitution mandate that we let him do it if he wants to? Is there no protection for us? Have we built anything into the system to protect us in that situation? If so, what?
Or are we all at the mercy of our enemy having fangs and wearing a t-shirt that says, “I am an enemy combatant. Don’t ever elect me if you value your life.”?
The military is under obligation NOT to obey orders to blow up the country.
