Thanks for your post and ping.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all that this CinC would issue an unlawful directive, even knowing full well it is unlawful.
This president is trying to create a crisis. His blocking memorials that people just walk past like they walk past a mailbox is a violation of our ownership of those pieces of property.
He is blatantly wrong, and it’s likely to cause disobedience.
Why would he want that?
Only so that it becomes a crisis.
