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.

I saw this moonbat Michael Hayden on TV the other day being interviewed,
He is opposed to the wall on the southern border, all for illegals, etc.
Any member of the military who defies the orders of their Commander in Chief should be court-martialed.
Let me tell you this. The Joint chiefs and three layers down will be fired in 6 months.
These idiots over the last few days have probably given Trump another five points.
Where were these clowns when fairy boy was forcing the likes of the marines to accept homosexuals, cross dressers, and perverted ways?
What exactly has Trump said anyway where this fool has got his panties in a twist.
The Republican and Democrat Establishment are the same thing, determined to maintain their grip at all costs.
at which point, they would be court martialed, just as if they were to disobey 0bama.
it’s the only reason 0bama hasn’t been tossed out in the last 7 years
Retired Gen. Michael Hayden has a problem. If someone were to look closely at his tenure at NSA, one might find that he stretched certain Presidential Findings a little too far.
if he was a current cia chief, You're Fired seems appropriate.
Presidents have fired Generals before. In America, its never been the other way around.
Keep firing them until one says, “Yes sir!”
Next tactic up in Anybody But Trump —
TREASON!!
Please, God.
I’m going to practice wailing.
After about twelve tries I should be able to get it right.
SO easy to fix! President Trump simply reinstalls all of the hard core warriors Obama deep-sixed, when Obama appointed all of those LGBTABCXYZ freaks to focus the military on “green” energy and replace all the light bulbs with “green” ones.
Enemies foreign, enemies domestic.
You’re talking about the military/intelligence agencies actively disobeying (presumably legal) orders and you wonder how Trump supports would react? WTF?
Another “Perfumed Prince?”
Refusing to carryout legal orders is a UCMJ offense. I doubt that many would risk their careers.
Dude was probably told, you want your pension, here's your script for the Maher show. You're sworn to follow orders, so get to it!
Good to see that the IRS and US military are not taking sides.
surely Hayden understands psyops???
