Exactly!!!
The military wants this to be about their orders only -- but their orders are meaningless outside of the chain of command which requires a legal CiC.
Exactly. A usurper Commander in Chief creates a situation where ALL the military orders are illegal. All the command authority is derived from the CIC, if he is a wrongun, they all are, and the Generals and the Army legal bods are due for the high jump cos it’s their job to know these things.
