I have a problem with the phrase “president’s wishes”. Attacking Syria would be exactly that.
And I don’t think a general resigning would require a future pardon. But I hope you’re right. I hope a lot of them retire immediately. Then maybe they’ll go back to work for the American people in their same capacity.
Well JCBreckenridge sees it somewhat differently. We both see rejection of orders to be reasoned, but he thinks it needs to be brought to a head on direct confrontation.
He may be right.
