Former CIA Chief Says Military Could Defy Donald Trump’s Orders

WASHINGTON – Retired Gen. Michael Hayden, who recently led the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency, said the U.S. military would likely refuse to follow certain orders from Donald Trump if he is elected to the White House in November and follows through on campaign promises.
"I would be incredibly concerned if a President Trump governed in a way that was consistent with the language that Candidate Trump expressed during the campaign," Gen. Hayden said during an interview will Bill Maher on Friday.
Mr. Trump, the frontrunner in the GOP primary, has vowed to use torture techniques against suspected terrorists if he wins the White House, going beyond waterboarding and doing things he described as a "hell of a lot worse."
He has also suggested he would order U.S. forces to kill the family members of terrorists, a charge that some have alleged would be in violation of the Geneva Convention.

It was God's plan to use one of the biggest persecutors of Christians to then spread the Gospel to the known world. I would hardly put Trump in that category.
Didn't say Trump was a dummy, but lots of unrighteous people are smart.
Do you seriously believe a man, Trump, who claims to have never needed forgiveness after all the sins he has committed is a Christian? I know of no Christians who would ever say such a thing.
I remain unconvinced that Trump is going to destroy the nation.
He loves his family and I do not think he wants the nation to tank, so their lives will be miserable.
If you think that’s his master plan, we disagree.
God uses who he will. In some ways Trump is a very decent person. I think he will serve us well.
